NB: Before you can start practicing driving skills, you need to study for and pass your learner’s license test. Only 40% of people pass their learner’s license – however, with the right preparation you will pass the learner’s license test the first time.

Start with understanding what the test is all about. Then, make a study plan that allows you to learn all concepts in advance of the actual test. If you have already been exposed to the rules of the road, focus on improving your relatively weaker areas. Taking a practice test will help you know where you are weak vs. strong and would therefore be an important first step.

Figure out the best way you learn. All of us have different preferences for learning, however, scientifically most of us recall and learn more if we practice questions and answers. Actually, you may recall as much as 50% more if you practice questions & mock tests versus if you just cram, so get your hands dirty and start practicing.

There are many online resources for the learner’s license test, including free eBooks and practice tools that tell you how you are progressing. African Licence is one of those resources. Once you have successfully studied your learner’s license, return to iDrive.co.za to find qualified driving school instructors that can help you pass your driver’s license test.

Don’t just use your online resource or sit inside with a book – sit inside a car and orient yourself to the car controls and the road, signs, and environment around you. If you are catching a ride with others, practice recalling the rules, signs, and road markings while you go along so you have something real to refer back to when you take the test.
