Pre theory tests in driving schools

Driving schools have to prepare their students to be a good drivers in the future. They can use various methods in order to achieve it. I would like to describe one of those methods in this article and present a problem connected with it. I don know if you are aware of the procedures that are present in driving schools. After finishing your course you have to prove that you have learned all the skills needed. To do that you have to take so called pre theory tests. As you can easily figure out from the name of this test it is a theory test held before the actual test. It is sat in order to make sure you will pass your later examination without a problem and to prove that you have worked hard during your course. How does it look? During driving courses people are usually divided into few groups. Then in those groups the pre test is taken. It is usually not taken on the computer as normal test is but on paper. The questions are the same as on final examination. But when I was taking my theory tests in driving school it looked a bit different. As I was not able to be there on this day my instructor told me to go to the center on the next day. I went there and the director of the center has opened the class for me, gave me my test and... left the room. I was able to pull out a book or a Highway Code and cheat if I wanted to. That means that the course can be finished by people who don have the knowledge necessary to do it. That is a little bit surprising, don you think?
