Anyone else studying for MOTOR in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my Motor Vehicle Division exam in 6 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "MOTOR" and working on my weak areas — specifically around MOTOR exam.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
If you're looking for a starting point, the free motor vehicle division vehicle titling and registration is worth trying — the questions closely match what you'll see on test day.
Passed MOTOR 7 months ago. Happy to share what I remember.
On the "MOTOR exam" stuff specifically — I found the practice tests here were actually harder than the real exam on those questions. Which was great because going in I felt more prepared than I needed to be.
The time pressure is real though. I came in with maybe 8 minutes to spare and that was after skipping the ones I wasn't sure about and coming back.
Don't try to cram the night before. Seriously. Last-minute stress makes you second-guess things you actually know.
I actually failed the first time by a few points. Total gut punch. But passed on the second attempt with a comfortable margin.
What changed: I stopped trying to memorize answers and started actually understanding the material. Specifically on MOTOR exam — I went back to basics and worked forward from first principles.
Also switched from reading to doing. Less time with the textbook, more time on practice questions with detailed answer explanations.
You've got this. The second attempt is always better because you know exactly what the exam is like.
The advice about understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing right ones — is genuinely the best motor-vehicle-division advice in this thread. Rebuilt my prep around that and it made a real difference.
