Beyond the Exam
Resources for the Road Ahead
Short study habits that work, plus where to find the official rules.
Study tips
- Study a little each day. Several short sessions stick better than one long one.
- Say the answer out loud before you check it. Hearing yourself helps you remember.
- When you miss a question, read the explanation, then try again later from your review list.
- Learn the numbers with their conditions, such as speed, weight or distance, not just the number alone.
- Finish General Knowledge first. Air Brakes and Combination Vehicles build on it.
