Start the Pennsylvania practice testA Pennsylvania intersection has a steady red light but no stop line or crosswalk. Where must the driver stop?
Why: At a steady red light, a driver must stop before the marked stop line or crosswalk, or before entering the intersection when neither marking is present. Therefore, the supported response is "Before entering the intersection".
When should a Pennsylvania learner check tire pressure for an accurate cold reading?
Why: Tire pressure should be checked cold, before driving or at least three hours after driving, against the recommended psi in the owner's manual or driver-side door jamb. Therefore, the supported response is "Before driving or at least three hours after driving".
A driver is traveling 25 mph before a turn. How far in advance must the signal begin?
Why: When traveling below 35 mph, Pennsylvania law requires a turn signal at least 100 feet before turning. Therefore, the supported response is "At least 100 feet".
At an unsigned intersection, a driver wants to turn left across an oncoming vehicle going straight. Who must yield?
Why: A driver turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles traveling straight ahead, and every driver must take action needed to avoid a crash even when another driver should yield. Therefore, the supported response is "The left-turning driver".
A vehicle ahead is stopped beside a crosswalk. What should the approaching driver do?
Why: When approaching a stopped vehicle from behind, a driver should slow and not pass until certain no pedestrian is crossing in front of that vehicle. Therefore, the supported response is "Slow and wait to confirm no pedestrian is crossing".
At what point total does PennDOT begin corrective action on a driving record?
Why: PennDOT begins corrective action when a driving record reaches six or more points; a first accumulation triggers written notice for a special point examination. Therefore, the supported response is "Six or more points".

Every test you take draws from all of them, so a weak area shows up quickly.
