Why do students fail their WORD exams? The Lauto driving school from Warsaw lists 7 „sins” that are the reason for this

Aleksandra was the dream student of the Warsaw driving school. Not only was she very intelligent, she also had a Ph.D. from her university. She learned quickly and easily, so the theory exam seemed like a formality.

So when she took the exam at WORD, the head of OSK was certain that she would pass it without the slightest problem. Unfortunately, she failed. Likewise the second, third, fourth and fifth… The head of the school was scratching his head and trying to understand what was happening. As a rule, educated students had a problem passing the practical exam, not the theory exam…

Finally, the OSK chief asked about the reason. Ola couldn’t answer what the problem was, because she was as surprised as he was. “Did you check the wrong answers?” the OSK chief asked, to which the trainee replied, “No way!” “So if you stumble again, please check them.”

On what attempt did Aleksandra manage to pass the theory? And what was the reason for her failures? More on that in a moment. First, let’s answer the question: „Why don’t students pass WORD exams?”

What mistake do students make when choosing a driving school? A driving school from Warsaw shows how to choose a great driving school

The first „sin” of potential students is being guided by online reviews and the low price of the training. Why is this a bad approach to the subject? First, because online reviews are not as reliable as you might think. Many of them were bought and written by copywriters who do this professionally, not by students who have used the services of a given school.

Secondly, a low price for a course can be a sign of low quality training… It is not the case that one course is equal to another, and that instructors are equal to instructors . Training and staff are at different levels, and high quality services require a correspondingly high price.

How to choose a good driving school in Warsaw?

• Don’t rely solely on online reviews and the price of the course.
• Let’s get information from family and friends who have completed a course at a given OSK.
• Let’s ask them how the training went, how they managed to pass the exam and whether they learned how to drive safely on Polish roads.
• If we get positive answers to these questions, then let’s not hesitate to spend a few hundred zlotys more for the course: after all, our lives depend on the quality of the course…

What mistake do students make during theory lessons? A driving school from Warsaw suggests how to master theory

The second „sin” of course participants is that they learn to pass exams right away, whereas they should start with lectures and then do tests from individual sections. The lack of systematic knowledge affects practical classes and the practical exam – as much as 70% of success in WORD results from knowledge of traffic regulations and rules. Without this knowledge, there is no question of safe driving…

How to understand the theory?

• First of all, you need to know yourself, your natural conditions: do you absorb information better by watching, listening, or maybe reading?
• Secondly, you need to choose a type of course that is adapted to your natural conditions.
• Thirdly, you should not be afraid to ask questions during lectures, and if necessary, you should take advantage of the free additional theoretical classes offered by the center.

What Mistake Do Students Make During Practical Lessons? Warsaw Driving School Explains Why a Good Instructor Is So Important

The third „sin” of students is the bad fit of the instructor. There should be so-called chemistry between the instructor and the student. If we do not feel comfortable with our teacher, then let’s change the instructor or even the school.

How to recognize a good instructor?

• Has knowledge of the regulations and construction of the car.
• Can explain in an accessible way how a clutch or brake works.
• He knows perfectly well that we cannot learn to park by heart, but we have to learn to perform this maneuver intuitively, which is more difficult at the beginning of the course, but gives great results at the end and on the exam…

Why students can’t handle stress? A driving school from Warsaw advises how to tame stress during the WORD exam

The fourth „sin” of chimes is putting everything on one scale, which only causes more stress. In fact, the first exam is the most stressful, especially when we set the bar high. Therefore, let’s approach the WORD exam relaxed, fight until the end, but if we fail, so be it – the world does not end, and after the downpour there is a rainbow…

What will help tame stress during the WORD exam?

• Firstly, the awareness that very few people pass the exam being 90% prepared, let alone 100%. We have to cope despite the constantly changing situation on the exam, which is something that cannot be fully prepared for on a course.
• Secondly, the knowledge that sometimes a “bad” examiner is better than a “good” one. Paradoxically, an examiner who is quite indifferent to us, and sometimes even unpleasant, can make the exam with him quite simple, and his instructions and the exam route – easy. On the other hand, a nice examiner who does not stress with his behavior can turn out to be very demanding, and the exam with him breakneck…

What mistake do students make on the theory exam? A driving school from Warsaw explains how to pass the theory in WORD

The fifth „sin” of students is a lack of knowledge or rushing to answer the exam. Rushing causes us not to read the questions to the end, and they often have the same pictures, which makes it easy to make a mistake.

How to pass the theory in WORD?

• Since we have access to all the exam questions, it is worth going through them from A to Z and back.
• Always check your incorrect answers after an unsuccessful attempt.
• The questions should be read to the end, without haste, which is a bad advisor.

What mistake do trainees make on the maneuvering field? A driving school from Warsaw shows how to pass a curve and a rise

The sixth „sin” of the trainees is the ignorance of the arc and elevation. Meanwhile, we have to practice these maneuvers excessively. This is the first contact with the car on the exam and a small mistake ends the whole fun.

How to complete the arc and the ascent?

• Vehicle maintenance can be found on the Internet – it is worth studying the instructional videos.
• It is important to remember that driving around a curve is not just about driving: we also check the air clarity and whether there is rain or fog, which require the use of dipped headlights.
• When driving around a curve, we need to pay attention to many details, for example, we need to check the driving path in the rear window at least once.
• Hill starting also has many methods, so it’s worth trying different options.

What mistake do students make during the city exam? Driving school explains how to pass the WORD practice

The seventh „sin” of students is not realizing that a successful exam begins… before the WORD exam. In fact, driving on the exam is the culmination of what came before.

So how do you pass your WORD internship?

• It’s worth being rested and relaxed.
• It is a good idea to arrange an extra hour of lessons in WORD just before the exam as a little warm-up.
• No one drives completely flawlessly, but you can’t make too many mistakes, so you should only take the exam when you feel you have a good chance of passing.

What “sin” did Alexandra commit that caused her to fail theory multiple times?

Let’s go back to Aleksandra’s story from the first paragraph. The head of OSK advised her that next time – if she failed the test again – she should check the wrong answers. This is what she did when she failed the theory test for the sixth time.

And so, after re-reading the questions, she knew all the answers. As it turned out, she had spent so much time studying that during the exam, she didn’t read the questions to the end, but gave quick answers.

When she read the entire questions, she passed the seventh theory exam in a heartbeat. Paradoxically, thanks to the course she took at the Lauto driving school in Warsaw , she passed the WORD practice at the first attempt…
