Start with Sharing the Road

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for PA rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that sharing the road plus turning and u-turns no longer pull your score down.
