Before appearing for the actual test, the applicants must take an online written test and a vision test. For the written test, the applicant needs to answer 25 objective type questions and must score at least 20 marks (or 80%). This is the theoretical aspect of the test and can be taken twice on the same day if need be. Post passing the written test, you will be prompted to take the vision test where you will be asked about various road signs. After passing this test, if one feels confident, he/she can take the actual driving test on the same day.

- While reversing, you must first put the car in reverse gear, hold the steering in a stable manner, and turn back to look for any obstacles behind the car.
- Finally, you must be able to parallel parking near the side curb in a specific way. When you are parking uphill with a curb, you must keep the steering wheel to the left after parking. Similarly, when you are parking downhill with a curb, your steering should be tilted toward the right side. However, when there is no curb, then you must point your steering toward the right side whether you are parking uphill or downhill.
These are some of the key tips that you must keep in mind while preparing to get your driving license in the USA for the first time.
