Why Use Prep Kits ?
Many students (and individuals for whom English is a second language) struggle with how to study all the information in the Driver’s Handbook and the Discover Canada Guide. When they fail the test, it is hard on their self-esteem, it is expensive and, in some cases, it interferes with their livelihood.
The Prep Kits are a series of study cards that summarize the Driver’s Handbook and Discover Canada Guide into smaller more manageable units of information.
The cards allow people to create an “I know it” pile and “I don’t know it” pile. This shows them how well they know the information. Because people tend to keep reviewing what they already know and ignore what they don’t know, the cards eliminate this problem and provide individuals with a clear idea of when they are ready to take the test.
On-line multiple choice tests are good for testing knowledge, but are not the most effective way to learn the material. The cards are created so that people are able to recall the information rather than just recognize correct information. This results in better understanding of material and safer drivers.
"Most of my friends took the Learner's Test multiple times before passing, so when my mom brought home a Learner's Prep Kit, I was eager to try it out to see if it actually helped. I passed my test the first time with a perfect score! The flashcards really helped me prepared and focus on what I needed to know.
