The practice test evaluates potential motorists\u2019 knowledge of street and highway signs before they can hit the road. The practice test helps to familiarize you with these important signs as they are defined and explained in your Nova Scotia driver\u2019s handbook<\/a>. The practice test also prepares you for questions about right-of-way, what to do at an intersection, and how to merge onto and off highways.<\/p> One of the other great benefits of the practice test that cannot be found in your driver\u2019s manual is the \u201cformat\u201d of the written exam. Taking a practice test prepares you for the style of the questions, so you can build strategies to tackle them. The test is multiple choice, so training yourself to read each of the potential answers and using the process of elimination to weed out answers you\u2019re sure are incorrect is a considerable benefit of practicing beforehand.<\/p> You gain not only the knowledge required of you by taking a practice test, but you also learn ways to compensate for your lack of knowledge when caught off guard by something you don\u2019t recognize. And rest assured, this temporary memory lapse happens to even the best drivers, so taking a practice test keeps you from getting discouraged. Combining knowledge and test-taking techniques is the only way to guarantee a perfect score on your written test, and taking practice exams ahead of time gives you that combination.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
