Thinking about taking a permit course... anyone done this?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to take a course to prepare for my permit test. I want to get a good score and avoid walking to school, church, or work. Anyone taken a course like this? Did it help?

Yeah, I took one before my permit test. It was super helpful, especially for the rules of the road stuff. You planning on doing it online or in-person?

Probably online! Any recommendations? Did it have practice tests?

Mine did! The practice tests were a lifesaver. I used [DrivingPrep101]. They explain stuff in a really simple way.

I skipped the course and just studied the DMV handbook. Saved money, but the course might be worth it if you need more structure.

Hmm, I feel like I need the structure… Was the handbook hard to follow?

It’s okay, but kind of dry. If you’re easily bored, a course is probably better lol.

FYI, some local driving schools include the course and practice driving in one package. Might be worth looking into!

Good idea, thanks! Do they usually cost a lot?

Depends on the school, but mine was about $200. Check reviews too!

I took an online course and passed on the first try. Definitely worth it, especially for the convenience.

Did it cover everything? Like traffic laws and all?

Yep, it covered all the basics—rules of the road, traffic signs, and safe driving tips. Pretty thorough!

If you’re nervous about the test, some programs offer extra tutoring or personalized help. Helped my cousin a ton!

Oh, I didn’t know that was an option. Thanks for the tip!
