Ghana DVLA Theory Test study plan

Sort a set of 40 road signs into their families (warning, regulatory, mandatory, information, guide) and justify each placement in one sentence.

Match each sign shape and colour combination to its general meaning without looking at notes.

Draw from memory the six sign shapes most likely to appear and label what each shape signals to a driver.

Name five signs that are frequently confused with one another and state the single visual feature that separates them.

Recite the meaning of the prohibitory and mandatory signs (no entry, stop, give way, speed limits, no overtaking type signs) with no reference material.

Identify road signs shown in everyday driving situations (school zones, junctions, level crossings, roadworks) and state the correct driver response to each.

List the ten signs you personally get wrong most often and drill them until recall is instant.

Define the difference between a regulatory marking and an advisory marking before starting week 3 material.

Differentiate continuous, broken, double and edge line markings and state what each permits or forbids.

Interpret junction markings, box junctions, stop lines, give-way lines, pedestrian crossings and chevron/hatched areas.

Explain the correct response to traffic lights, flashing signals and directions given by an authorised officer or traffic warden.

Sketch four junction layouts and annotate the correct lane position and marking to obey in each.

Apply the give-way and priority rules at T-junctions, crossroads, roundabouts and uncontrolled junctions in at least 15 written scenarios.

State the correct procedure for overtaking, being overtaken, and lane discipline on multi-lane roads.

State the general speed limits for built-up and non-built-up roads and identify where lower posted limits override them, verifying each figure against the current DVLA handbook.

Describe correct behaviour at pedestrian crossings, near schools, and around cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.

Re-run week 4 scenarios under time pressure at roughly 30 seconds per question.

Identify the documents a driver must hold and produce on demand, and state the consequence of driving without each.

Explain the purpose and validity considerations of a driving licence, vehicle registration, roadworthy certificate and compulsory insurance.

Outline the steps to report a change of ownership or address and the process after a collision.

Perform and record a daily and weekly vehicle check routine covering tyres, lights, brakes, fluids, wipers and mirrors.

State the legal minimum tread depth and correct tyre pressure procedure, checking the figures against the DVLA handbook rather than memory.

Explain the warning signs and correct driver action for brake, steering, overheating and electrical faults.

Describe how load, towing and passenger numbers affect vehicle stability and legality.

Apply the correct following-distance and stopping-distance principles in wet, night and heavy-traffic conditions.

Identify developing hazards in at least 15 written or narrated driving scenes and state the earliest safe response.

Describe the correct actions for skids, brake failure, tyre blowouts, fog, flooding and night driving.

Outline breakdown and emergency procedure: warning triangles or hazards, passenger safety and who to contact.

Sit three full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and record each score.

Rank your weakest 15 questions by domain and re-drill them until recall is immediate.

Re-read only the rules you have repeatedly got wrong rather than reviewing everything from scratch.

Confirm logistics: test centre location, required documents, arrival time and identification.
