Top Exam Tips

  • 🎯
    Read every question carefully. The DKT often includes similar-looking options — one word can change the correct answer.
  • ⚠️
    Watch for "EXCEPT" questions. "Which of the following is NOT..." questions trip up many candidates.
  • 🔢
    Memorise key numbers. Speed limits (50 km/h default urban, 100 km/h highway), BAC limits (0.05% general, 0.00% for learners/P-platers), and following distances.
  • 🚦
    Right-of-way rules are critical. Intersections, roundabouts, and merging are heavily tested topics.
  • 😴
    Don't cram the night before. Rest well and review your study notes the morning of the test.
