TO each his own. I moved here when I was 37ish, took driver's ed when I was 16 (might have been 15) and missed 1 question. I don't think the test is hard and it is possible to pass the test based on prior driving education. If you drive the way you are supposed to, then what you learned in drivers ed should be second nature.
I think what bothered me about the question is that it sounded like where's the cheat sheet for the test?? I know it's minor, but that seems to be a problem in our culture period. Just give me the answers so I can pass the test. Who cares about understanding the material. It's a problem in high schools, I see it at the university level and its a problem in other areas of life. That's probaly why we have so many accidents and you've seen people in this forum trying to defend their bad driving decisions. People don't know the proper way to make a U Turn, who has the right away at a 4 way stop, 3 way stop, How much distance do you need between you and the car in fron of you when on the freeway, when can you legally make a left hand turn on a 2 way street, a one way street, car seat regulations, etc... If you drive, you should know what a stop sign symobol looks like, a yield symbol, merging traffic symbol. If you're rusty, read the book. For your sake and the rest of us that share the road with you.
OK... I'm off my soap box now. I'm a decent not perfect driver, I've been ticketed too. This must be one of my pet peeves. ;-)
ETA: this isn't directed at the OP. Just my commentary and observations.

They do this because they want you to read the book.
The bottom line is you have to get the handbook and at least study the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. The questions from the test are taken directly from there. You can view the handbook online now so you don't need to go to the DMV to buy one. Make sure you study the signs also. The eye test in part will show you a bunch of signs with no lettering and you have to say what they are.
