Ghana DVLA Road Signs Test study plan

Ghana DVLA Road Signs Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs

  • Classify all regulatory sign families by shape, colour and border type (prohibition, mandatory, restriction, stop/yield) and state the driver action each demands

  • Sketch from memory the 15 regulatory signs you find hardest and label each with its exact meaning

  • Build a two-column table matching each warning sign shape (triangle, diamond, circle) to its hazard category and required speed or lane response

  • Explain aloud, without notes, the difference between a warning sign and a regulatory sign for five paired examples

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn flashcard set of 40 signs (20 regulatory, 20 warning) with meaning and required action written on the reverse

Week 2

Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs

  • Identify every prohibition sign that is cancelled by a supplementary plate and describe how the plate changes the rule

  • Distinguish mandatory-direction signs from warning signs that use similar arrows

  • Rank warning signs by the stopping-distance risk they imply and justify the ranking in writing

  • Self-test on 60 mixed regulatory and warning items and log every miss with the reason for the error

Your checkpoint

An error log listing at least 15 missed items with a corrected one-line rule for each

Week 3

Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Regulatory Signs

  • Decode each road marking type (broken, solid, double, hatched, box junction, stop line) and state whether crossing it is legal, illegal, or conditional

  • Match traffic light aspects, including flashing amber and filter arrows, to the correct driver response

  • Explain how markings and regulatory signs combine at junctions, and which one takes precedence when they appear to conflict

  • Draw a four-way junction from memory showing stop lines, give-way markings, and a box junction with correct lane arrows

Your checkpoint

A one-page annotated junction diagram with at least 10 markings and signals correctly labelled

Week 4

Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety

  • Apply marking and signal rules to 30 scenario questions about junctions, pedestrian crossings and overtaking

  • State the correct following-distance and safe-speed reasoning for wet, harmattan-dust and night conditions

  • List the right-of-way sequence at an uncontrolled T-junction using markings alone

  • Recite the actions required at a zebra crossing and at a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing

Your checkpoint

A timed 40-question mock covering domains 3 and 4, scored and reviewed question by question

Week 5

Safe Driving and Road Safety & Warning Signs

  • Describe the correct response to each major warning-sign hazard (bend, slippery road, school zone, cattle, road narrowing) in terms of speed, gear and lane position

  • Explain the effects of alcohol, fatigue and phone use on reaction distance with a worked stopping-distance example

  • Outline the legal and safety obligations after a collision, including stopping, reporting and first aid priorities

  • Identify the warning signs most often misread as permission signs and write a correction for each

Your checkpoint

A written hazard-response sheet pairing 12 warning signs with a three-step driver action

Week 6

Regulatory Signs & Safe Driving and Road Safety

  • Link each regulatory sign to the specific offence or penalty risk of ignoring it

  • Explain how regulatory signs govern parking, loading, overtaking and speed limits in built-up versus highway settings

  • Summarise the core rules on seat belts, child restraints, licensing classes and vehicle fitness checks

  • Answer 25 mixed regulatory and safety questions under time pressure and score at least 80 per cent

Your checkpoint

A scored 25-question quiz with a written note on every question answered incorrectly

Week 7

Warning Signs & Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety

  • Run full-length timed mocks across all four domains and record the score for each attempt

  • Categorise every remaining error by domain and by failure type (misread sign, forgotten rule, careless slip)

  • Re-drill only the weakest 20 per cent of items until each is answered correctly twice in a row

  • Practise reading sign descriptions aloud and converting each into an action within three seconds

Your checkpoint

A score tracker showing at least three mock attempts with a rising trend and a list of mastered weak items

Week 8

Regulatory Signs & Warning Signs & Road Markings and Traffic Signals & Safe Driving and Road Safety

  • Review all four domains using only your error logs and flashcards, not new material

  • Complete two final timed mocks and score at least 90 per cent on both

  • Recite the meaning and required action for your 30 hardest signs from memory

  • Confirm test-day logistics: documents, location, arrival time and the format of the computer-based test

Your checkpoint

Two final mock scores of 90 per cent or above plus a one-page test-day checklist

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 75 per cent on a 60-item mixed regulatory and warning sign self-test, with an error log written for every miss

Week 4: Score at least 80 per cent on a timed 40-question mock covering road markings, signals and safe driving

Week 6: Score at least 80 per cent on a timed 25-question regulatory and safety quiz and explain every corrected answer aloud

Week 8: Score at least 90 per cent on two consecutive full-length timed mocks across all four domains
