How to study (and remember it)

1) Break it into five mini‑topics, five minutes each.
Right‑of‑way • Lines & lanes • Turns & signals • Freeway & work zones • People outside the car (pedestrians/bikes/buses).
Do one loop in 25 minutes. Done for the day.

2) Use “why,” not just “what.”
If a rule feels random, ask why it exists. Example: stopping for a bus protects kids who may cross unexpectedly. “Why” makes it stick.

3) Rehearse out loud.
Say the rule like you’re teaching a friend: “Broken white means same direction; I can change if it’s clear.” Hearing it helps memory.

4) Drive like the test.
On your next ride (as a passenger), call out rules you see in real time: “That’s a center left‑turn lane,” “That’s an unprotected left,” “That bus has amber lights—you prep to stop.”
