Singapore TDVL study plan

Singapore TDVL · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Traffic rules, road signs and road markings & Road safety and safe driving behaviour

  • Draw and label from memory the four sign families (regulatory, warning, informational, temporary) with three real examples of each

  • List the six main road-marking types (lane lines, edge lines, box junctions, hatched areas, bus lanes, yellow zig-zags) and state the rule each one imposes

  • Recite the core speed limits, stopping/signal duties and junction priority rules without notes

  • Identify and correct five of your own recurring driving habits that breach a traffic rule you listed

Your checkpoint

A one-page handwritten sign-and-marking cheat sheet, self-tested to 90% accuracy on 30 items

Week 2

Road safety and safe driving behaviour & Traffic rules, road signs and road markings

  • Apply the MSM (mirror-signal-manoeuvre) routine aloud in five narrated driving scenarios

  • Rank ten hazard scenarios (wet road, blind junction, tailgater, pedestrian between parked cars) by risk and justify each ranking

  • Describe the correct action sequence for expressway breakdown, emergency lane use and accident scene management

  • Explain how fatigue, alcohol, medication and night driving degrade reaction time, citing the legal limits

Your checkpoint

Five written hazard-response scenarios scored against a self-made 5-point checklist, all scoring 4 or better

Week 3

Taxi service regulations and vocational licence obligations

  • Map every vocational licence obligation (display of licence, medical fitness, change of particulars, surrender/revocation) to its consequence if breached

  • State the penalties and demerit-point thresholds that apply to taxi drivers, distinguishing them from ordinary licence holders

  • List the documents and inspections a taxi must carry or pass, and who is responsible for each

  • Summarise the rules on picking up, refusing, and terminating a hire under the regulations

Your checkpoint

A 20-item self-quiz on regulations written by you, answered closed-book at 85% or higher

Week 4

Taxi service regulations and vocational licence obligations & Traffic rules, road signs and road markings

  • Answer 60 mixed questions across domains 1 and 3 under timed conditions

  • Log every wrong answer into an error register tagged by cause (knowledge gap, misread, guess)

  • Re-study only the tagged knowledge gaps and re-test them

  • Explain aloud, in two minutes each, five rules that exam candidates most often confuse

Your checkpoint

Timed 60-question set at 80% or above, with a completed error register

Week 5

Passenger service, customer care and complaint handling

  • Script and role-play the greeting, journey confirmation, and closing for three passenger types (elderly, tourist, business traveller)

  • Classify six complaint types and draft a compliant response to each using a listen-acknowledge-act-confirm structure

  • List the accessibility and assistance duties owed to passengers with luggage, wheelchairs or children

  • Draft a de-escalation script for a fare dispute and a refusal-of-service situation

Your checkpoint

A complaint-handling script pack covering six scenarios, each under 150 words and role-played once aloud

Week 6

Route knowledge, navigation and fare-meter use & Passenger service, customer care and complaint handling

  • Compute metered fares, surcharges, booking fees and midnight/peak multipliers across ten worked examples

  • Plan three routes between named landmarks and state the trade-off (time, ERP, distance) for each

  • Identify the top ten landmarks and key interchanges used in route questions and place them on a hand-drawn sketch map

  • Explain the meter-tampering, receipt and fare-display obligations that link domain 5 to customer care

Your checkpoint

Ten fare computations with 100% correct arithmetic and a labelled sketch map of ten landmarks

Week 7

Traffic rules, road signs and road markings & Road safety and safe driving behaviour & Taxi service regulations and vocational licence obligations & Passenger service, customer care and complaint handling & Route knowledge, navigation and fare-meter use

  • Sit two full-length mock papers under exam timing without notes

  • Cross-map every error to its domain and rank the three weakest domains

  • Rewrite condensed notes for only those three weak areas

  • Rehearse the ten most-missed facts using spaced repetition on days 1, 3 and 6

Your checkpoint

Two mock scores recorded with a domain-by-domain accuracy table showing week-on-week improvement

Week 8

Traffic rules, road signs and road markings & Road safety and safe driving behaviour & Taxi service regulations and vocational licence obligations & Passenger service, customer care and complaint handling & Route knowledge, navigation and fare-meter use

  • Re-sit both mock papers and target 90% overall

  • Recite the sign, marking, regulation and fare figures that you previously got wrong, cold

  • Simulate exam-day conditions: full timing, no breaks, no reference material

  • Write a one-page final recall sheet and read it on the morning of the test

Your checkpoint

Final mock at 90% or above with zero repeats of previously logged errors

Milestones

Week 2: Can state speed limits, junction priority, and hazard-response sequence from memory with no notes, and self-score 90% on the sign-and-marking sheet

Week 4: Timed 60-question mixed set across domains 1 and 3 completed at 80% or above, with an error register started

Week 6: Fare computations at 100% correct and complaint scripts role-played; domains 4 and 5 covered end to end

Week 7: Two full mock papers sat under exam timing; weakest three areas identified and rewritten

Week 8: Final full mock at 90% or above with no previously logged error repeated
