And frankly, if your kid can't pass the permit test, he should not be on the road.

Sometimes it is hard; sometimes it isn't. My DC, although very bright and a NMSF, failed it once. He remembered the ones he missed and quizzed me on them, and I couldn't answer them - obscure and strange questions. The second time, he came out after only a few minutes, having flown through it and passed, laughing because the second time the questions he pulled were so much easier and straight forward than the first version.

Don't pat yourself on the back for drawing all the easy questions.

Give him confidence by reminding him that the questions on the test are randomly generated. Sometimes you get all the easy questions, sometimes you pull a test with enough of the 'trip up' questions that you fail. One of these times he's going to pull the easy test and pass.

But also, yes read the whole book. Don't take him back until he passes a practice test at home. Then pray for a good randomization!

Disagree. if the kid can't study for, take and pass the test without Mommy's help then he's not ready to be driving anyway.

Awful person alert.

Uhhhh you know he can literally kill somebody driving, right?

You don’t have a dyslexic child, do you?

WTF does that mean?
If your child can't handle driving, they don’t get to drive. Driving is a privilege not a basic right. None of the rules you are used to in the school system apply when it comes to getting a driver's license.

I hope you are feeling judged, because I think you are the awful person here

My child can handle driving. They just learned how to do it in a different way - in the more collaborative way they learn most things.

My kid is the dyslexic mentioned above who passed both the written and road tests on the first try. They are an excellent driver.

Exactly!! Everyone is acting like this kid is going to be an awful driver because he doesn't know the deer crossing sign. Like calm the F down

Seems like you are the one who needs to calm down. Kid's going to be an awful driver because he is not motivated to learn as per OP's post.

Girl you need to get laid. You are every negative post here

Nice

Out of curiosity, without studying my 14 year old, almost passed but missed it by 1-2 questions. The test isn't that hard.

In VA if you fail one of the 10 signs, in that portion, you fail. And some of those sign are silly ones that i've never seen in my entire life. It can be confusing.

Christ almighty, people. Not everything has to have a punitive lesson. Not paying for his test is absurd. I'm sure he doesn't WANT to fail.

MD has plenty of online options to study. It was pretty hard for my daughter though.

Seriously, we're trashing you, for thinking that that doesn't need to learn the rules of the road ( by however means OP wants to achieve that) but should still get to drive

* that this child doesn't
