However, you will need to register for the test a few days before this (take all of the documents in HFCAMPO's post). I would recommend at least a week before, as they will give you an ecopy of the test questions (take a thumb drive) when you register. You will then have time to study.
Thanks to all who replied ...... I appreciate all the advice. Sounds like it will be aquite an experience!!!
I agree with you Bigsmile....
It is not too hard. I passed OK and I am not superhard study boy.
My advice would be:
It is not important to understand the answers, or even the questions. Just regurgitate the answers.
Some of it may seem 'wrong' just give them the answers they want.
Ditto Chinglish, just give them the answer that goes with the question.
There is lots of repetition so that you are not learning as much unique stuff as you may fear.
You don't need to get 100%, and it is multiple choice.
Very informative, thanks for posting.
Hello,
If the file is not too huge could anyone please send me a ecopy of the driving test questions. I got everything else when I went and failed the test without any study. I hate to go all the way back there for the file. It is a 2 hour round trip bus ride for me.
1) There is a version of this floating around online. I used it with success to pass the test:
2) This is an online test web page some blogger in Shenzhen made:
www.shekouonline.com/drivingtest.html
3) There is no official rule guide that details the rules of the road,
in English anyways. Didn't exist electronically or in paper when I
asked my examiners in Kunming. So, mostly you figure out the logic of
the rules from the q&a.
4) I took the exam on a computer in English. It was only available
once a week. There are 100 questions, 60 multiple choice and 40 true
and false. I was allowed two attempts. Any score of 90+ means you
pass. The first time I took the test, I just glanced over the
materials and was only able to score around 85. I studied a moderate
amount for the next attempt a week later, and passed with 90 on my
first attempt.
