What's the Easiest Way to Pass the Kentucky Permit Test?

With two sections to pass, you need a smart study strategy. Active learning is proven to be more effective than just passively reading the manual.

Studying the Handbook Alone

Covers all the material.

Passive, boring, and it's hard to be sure you are ready for both parts of the test.
