Start the Connecticut practice testA new driver wants to operate an ordinary passenger car. Which Connecticut license class does the manual identify?
Why: A Connecticut non-commercial license is designated Class D and, unless restricted, covers motor vehicles other than commercial motor vehicles. Therefore, the supported response is "Class D".
Before starting an automatic car, which setup matches the manual?
Why: Before starting an automatic-transmission vehicle, the parking brake should be on and the shift selector must be in park. Therefore, the supported response is "Parking brake on and selector in park".
In ordinary conditions, which timing check does the manual use for following distance?
Why: The manual's normal following-distance check is the three-second rule, measured from when the vehicle ahead passes a stationary point until your vehicle reaches it. Therefore, the supported response is "A three-second interval to the same fixed point".
Daylight fog makes other vehicles difficult to see. What equipment should you use?
Why: Headlights must be used at night and whenever visibility makes it hard to see, both to improve the driver's view and to help others see the vehicle. Therefore, the supported response is "Headlights".
Your vehicle reaches a stop line with no other traffic visible. What is still required?
Why: A driver must come to a complete stop at a stop sign or stop line. Therefore, the supported response is "Come to a complete stop".
A dashed white line separates your lane from the lane beside it. What does it permit?
Why: Dashed white lines separate lanes moving in the same direction and may be crossed for a lane change when it is safe. Therefore, the supported response is "A lane change when it is safe".

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