Kentucky Driver’s Practice Tests: DMV Practice Tests

By The Driving School and Ged Benson

The must-have driver's license practice test book for anyone who wants to ace Kentucky's DMV exam.

We've got the perfect solution for you.

 

Getting ready for your driver's test can be a long and stressful process. You have to study the handbook and take multiple generic practice tests before you feel comfortable taking the real thing. The problem is that most of those resources are either too difficult (the handbook), all over the place on the internet or they're not focused on your state's particular requirements (most online practice tests).

 

The Driving School solves all of these problems. Our easy-to-follow questions will help you understand everything from basic road rules to more complex topics such as fines and limits specific to your state. We also provide detailed explanations about why each answer is correct so that you know exactly what to look out for when taking your actual exam.

 

You will cover every section in the official driver's manual, so you won't have to worry about forgetting important notions when you attempt to pass your exam. We've made studying for the DMV test a lot easier.

In order to help you practice for your DMV test, each question has an answer and a corresponding explanation. In some cases, more than one answer might seem correct. In these cases, there will be explanations, after all of the possible responses, to help you understand why those answers are wrong and the other one is correct.
