Pass The Test
How To Pass the Wisconsin Driver's License Test
It takes more than just showing up to pass your driving test. The following tips may prove helpful as you prepare for the day of your driver’s license test.
- Take your practice tests! Sites like these are invaluable resources whether you’re trying to get your permit, your license, your motorcycle license or your CDL. With access to all practice tests on these types of sites you can only improve your chances by working through as many test questions as possible prior to exam day. Use these tests as your permit practice test, license practice test, or as a refresher if you just want to brush up on your recognition of road signs or Wisconsin driving laws.
- Practicing isn’t just for the written test. Once you’ve got your permit, use it. Getting comfortable behind the wheel is essential for performing well during your driving skills test. If you haven’t polished your skills in a low-pressure environment you may not perform well when the pressure is high.
- Read, and re-read the Wisconsin driver’s handbook (link below). Make sure you’ve got the current year’s version and make sure you know it inside and out.
- Have your paperwork ready to go the day before your test. Don’t put yourself in a panic trying to dig up your identification, or find your permit on the morning of your test. Get everything together the night before and have it ready to go.
