Guyana Learner Driver Theory Test study plan
Guyana Learner Driver Theory Test · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Road signs, signals and road markings
Classify road signs into their main groups (regulatory, warning, informational/guide, and temporary/roadworks) and state the purpose of each group
Match sign shape and colour (circle, triangle, rectangle, octagon, red border, blue field, yellow field) to the meaning it signals at a glance
Identify the most common prohibitory and mandatory signs and state exactly what a driver must do or must not do when each is displayed
Explain how to react to a sign the first time you see it, including reducing speed and checking mirrors before acting
Your checkpoint
Complete a self-written flashcard deck of at least 60 signs and self-test to 90% or better on a 30-card random draw
Road signs, signals and road markings
Interpret warning signs for junctions, bends, pedestrian crossings, schools, humps, and animal or cyclist hazards
Read road markings correctly: solid and broken centre lines, edge lines, stop lines, give-way lines, box junctions, and hatched areas
Distinguish where overtaking, parking, and lane changing are permitted or prohibited based on markings alone
Combine a sign with its accompanying marking or plate (for example a no-parking sign plus kerb markings) and describe the combined rule
Your checkpoint
Draw a one-page annotated sketch of a fictional 500 m road stretch containing at least 15 correctly labelled signs and markings
Rules of the road and right of way
Apply the core right-of-way rules at uncontrolled junctions, T-junctions, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings
State the keep-left driving rule and trace the correct lane and turning path for left turns, right turns, and roundabout exits
Rank the order in which vehicles proceed at a four-way scene using priority rules, and justify each decision aloud
List the situations in which you must give way to pedestrians, cyclists, emergency vehicles, and public transport
Your checkpoint
Solve 20 written right-of-way scenarios with at least 18 correct answers and a one-line justification for each
Rules of the road and right of way
Apply speed limit, safe following distance, and stopping distance rules to realistic driving situations
Demonstrate knowledge of overtaking rules, including where overtaking is banned and what to check before and during a pass
Explain rules for stopping and parking, including restrictions near junctions, crossings, bends, and bus stops
Describe correct behaviour at railway crossings, bridges, and school zones, and the rules for reversing and U-turns
Your checkpoint
Sit a timed 40-question mock test covering domains 1 and 2 only and score 85% or higher
Traffic signals and road positioning
Interpret traffic lights, filter arrows, flashing signals, and signals given by a police officer or authorised person, and state who takes priority
Identify the correct lane and road position for straight-ahead travel, turning, joining a carriageway, and passing parked vehicles
Explain the meaning of hand signals given by drivers, cyclists, and riders
Describe how to position the vehicle when a signal changes or when a junction or box marking must not be blocked
Your checkpoint
Produce a correct lane-and-position diagram for 10 described junction and signal situations, checked against the rule list
Driver responsibilities, licensing and legal obligations
Outline the licensing pathway for a learner in Guyana, including permit conditions, supervision requirements, and the steps to a full licence
List the documents a driver must carry and keep valid, and explain the consequences of driving without them
State the legal limits and penalties for drink driving, careless driving, and driving without insurance
Explain the duties of a driver at the scene of a collision, including stopping, reporting, and exchanging details
Your checkpoint
Write a one-page personal compliance checklist covering documents, limits, and collision duties, and recite it from memory
Vehicle safety, maintenance and roadworthiness
Perform and describe a pre-drive walk-around check covering tyres, lights, fluids, mirrors, wipers, and bodywork
Identify dashboard warning lights and state which ones mean stop immediately and which allow a cautious continuation
Explain minimum tread depth, correct tyre pressure practice, and the effect of worn tyres or faulty brakes on stopping distance
Describe how to check and top up engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and screen wash safely
Your checkpoint
Complete a full vehicle check on a real or simulated vehicle using a written checklist and record every item found as pass or fail
Defensive driving, hazards and emergency procedures & Road signs, signals and road markings & Rules of the road and right of way
Apply defensive driving techniques including the two-second gap, scanning ahead, mirror routines, and covering the brake
Identify developing hazards in described scenes and state the earliest safe action for each
Describe emergency procedures for brake failure, a blowout, skidding, aquaplaning, and a vehicle fire
Review all six domains and re-test the weakest two areas identified in earlier mock results
Your checkpoint
Score 80% or higher on a full-length timed mock test across all six domains, with no domain below 70%
Milestones
Week 2: Can identify and explain any sign or marking drawn at random from your 60-card deck within 5 seconds
Week 4: Domains 1 and 2 mock score of 85% or higher, with every wrong answer written up and re-learned
Week 6: Can state from memory the licence documents required, the drink-driving limit, and the four duties at a collision scene
Week 8: Full-length mock test at 80% or higher overall and 70% or higher in every domain
