    I heard it's very easy and no need to study for it. But thats what I heard I'm sure you'll do fine.

    It all depends on what state you are taking it in. Every state is different. However, as long as you use common sense, then you should do fine. Just know the rules of the road and who has right-of-way (most of the questions on mine was about right-of-way) and you will do just fine.

    it was very easy when i took it. but that was a while ago. i would guess it is still pretty simple, just study the booklet, it all comes from there.

    I'm a good driver, but I didn't know squat about the rules of the road. I failed the written test the first time…I missed like 12 questions HAHAHA. On the driving test, I only missed 1 point.

    Looking back on it, a lot of the questions on the written test were common sense questions. I guess I brain farted when I was taking it…hahaha

    In Nebraska, the driving test is all based on pictures showing different situations and asking you questions. There are different versions, but they're all basically the same. It asks about following distance, right of way, alcohol consumption, signs…

    It was easy. It's always been easy if you have a basic understanding of the law and how to drive. If you took any sort of driver's ed, you should be fine. If not, read the book and you should be fine. I have always aced it and have never read the book after the first time I took the test when I was 14 (school permit). The last time some of the guidelines had even been changed (the way following distance is calculated) and I was still able to figure it out and ace it (the test is multiple choice and they aren't trying to make them too difficult).

    Bottom line, don't stress about it. If you do happen to fail, you can retake the test in a couple weeks. There's no shame in it. Some people may not get the style of the testing, or have high test anxiety. I personally don't care how many times someone had to take a written test. I DO care how they drive after…being AND remaining a considerate, safe, and law-abiding driver is much more important. Of course, reading and knowing the rules of the road are always important because it really isn't possible to be a good driver and not know them (if you don't know who has the right of way or what a yield sign means, there's no way you can be driving "right"), but it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to test well on that knowledge.

    Relax and just let yourself take the test. You'll know the answers.
    Good luck!

    Just breathe. I passed on the first try and got like an 88 or something like that and I didn't study. Just take it question by question and don't rush. Even if you miss a question just neglect it and maintain a positive attitued. They ask like who should wear a seat belt and other questions you can deduce to the right answer.
    Good luck and hope this helps.
