LEARNERS TEST NSW
Learners Test NSW: Pass it the First Time
To qualify for the learner’s license, you must pass a mandatory NSW learners test. It is the first of several tests you have to take before acquiring a full license. It is computer-based and has 45 multiple-choice questions.
This test gauges a learner’s understanding of the road rules which are in the driver’s handbook. Though not a difficult test, it’s not everyone who passes the test on their first attempt. A good number of examiners fail to reach the 91% pass mark.
Are you considering taking this test anytime soon? Below are ways on how you can prepare for the NSW Learners Test and ace it in your first try.
- Thoroughly Study the Road User’s Handbook
All the questions on the test come from this Road User’s Handbook. Having an in-depth understanding of the handbook improves your odds of scoring all the questions correctly on your first try. The handbook can be downloaded here
- Start Practicing with the Driver Knowledge Test Questions from the RMS Site
After reading and understanding what is in the road user’s handbook, you should now test your skills. The good news is, on this website, you can take driving test practice questions for free. Doing this will give you a clear picture of what to expect on the actual test.
- Practice the Test from Reputable Online Sites
After conquering the test question from RMS, you still won’t be fully equipped to pass the test on your first try. This is why you should do as many practice questions as possible from a reliable site. This will expose you to the tricks on how questions on the NSW learners test can be best answered.
- Do Some Last Minute Revision
After booking the test, you will be provided with test time, date, and venue. Although you might feel like you are ready for the test, some last-minute revision can always increase your knowledge. The night before the test, go through the handbook and if possible do one last test.
- Arrive on Time
Since you will already know the venue and test time, you should arrive on time. Arriving late can make you miss out and force you to have to re-do the test the second time. Also, arriving late can make you rush to the exam and this might confuse you a little bit. To avoid all this, ensure you arrive on time. Don’t forget to eat a healthy breakfast that will calm your nerves.
- Confirm that You have the Necessary Documents
When you arrive at the centre, ensure you have all the necessary documents. Failure to carry any of the required documents can automatically disqualify you. If you are having doubts about what and what not to carry, confirm with the test centre early in advance.
- Don’t be Afraid to Ask for Help
On the day of the test, if you have difficulty reading or doing the exam, feel free to ask for help. On the test centre, there are translators and examiners that assist those with reading, hearing, or any other form of impairment that affects one’s ability to do the test.
- Finally, Never Assumed You have Failed
As mentioned earlier, the pass score is 90%. You, therefore, have an allowance to get 5 questions wrongly. If you make a mistake on one question don’t assume you have failed. Keep calm and proceed with the test.
With these 8 tips, you can be assured of passing your NSW driving test the first time you do it. As we wrap up, we wish you all the best in your upcoming learners test NSW.
