Take a Quick check of 25 in coaching mode. Read each explanation, including the ones you got right; it tells you the rule Kentucky tests, not just the answer.
Your account's Study tab ranks the 10 topics by your results. Read that chapter of the Kentucky Driver Manual, then take another Quick check to confirm the gap has closed.
Take the Full challenge of 100 in exam mode. Aim for 80 percent or better twice in a row; at that point you are answering from the rules, not from memory of the questions.
