Hi….

There are 2 slots for the computer written test at Chiang Mai Transport Dept.

One at 10 am

The other at 1 pm.

Ive been twice on two different days and failed both times.

You get 6 wrong and you fail.

I feel like giving up.

The English in some of the questions is incomprehensible.

I did the test again today at 10am and failed…..and the lady tried to convince me to come back at 1pm and do it again.

I thought it was a random computer thing and that every test would be different.

So I didn’t go back.

Now I’m thinking she may have been trying to help me.

Maybe the test changes every day but on the ONE day…maybe…..the morning 10am test is the same as the 1 pm test…

Can anyone confirm or deny…?

Reaching desperation….appreciate any help. Cheers. 

 

Go online. All the questions are there plus answers. I flunked the test twice before someone turned me on to the website. 

I passed first time and I'm bird brained. The only farang there, all the Thais gave me a round of applause.

 

Interesting to note that I finished my paper long before the Thais. Wondering why, I later found out that the Thai test is longer and harder. Doesn't seem to help with the way they drive!

They need mandatory higher road learning time by a grade of instructor as tough as German/Japanese ones.

Make them drive on the road to pass not these stupid off-road circuits.

 

Road carnage capital of the world almost....

mikey88, I sent you a private message...check it out before you go retest

When did you do it though…..This test I’m told is NEW…….this year…..50 questions….get more than 5 wrong and you fail.

BKK Post says 95% are failing…..only introduced recently …..I’m told.   Many of the questions make no sense at all….the English is indecipherable….

I finished the test last night just to see what the rumble is about.

Not difficult at all! I past the first test 74 out of 80.

The English is fine but i did not know what a blue sign meant but once i

got that i past 78/80 the second time.

I did find a fault in the traffic signs,the proper answer is marked as wrong.

Not a really big deal this test,try it for yourself.

The post you quote says get more than 5 wrong is a Fail.

If you see someone on a "zebra crossing". 

What to do?

 

1. Speed up.
2. Knock the person over.
3. Stop the car and get your barbecue out.

I learned the person who translated my test from Thai to English is the sign maker next door to the license office:

At my office, the test changes each time you take it. 

 

Apparently, there are numerous ways to translate the Thai into English, so the possibilities are endless, and all wrong.

Thank you for sharing, This should be pinned post with useful resources for expats.

Just a tip I used, when you look at these questions and answers online, read the question and just look at the highlighted answer, ignore reading the three wrong ones.. i passed 3rd time with 45.
