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

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
