How to pass your Botswana drivers theory test, PART 2 studying to pass
How to pass your Botswana drivers theory test, PART 2 studying to pass
Is the theory test difficult?
Well it depends yes it is difficult, if you have not studied.........yet on the other hand no, its very very easy if you have spent quality time studying before taking the test.
So here is my guide to studying to pass,
1. Set a deadline
What do i mean set a deadline? Well what i mean is go and book your test, once you have booked you will have a week to study for your test, you only have one week so focus, this is the time to really study hard.
2. Be systematic
Don't just open the book at any random page and start reading, start at the beginning and move from section to section.
3. Seek to Understand the reason why
Don't just try memorize the book, thats not going to help you. Rather try to understand why a certain answer is correct or incorrect. Seek to understand the principles behind the answers.
4. Review each section
When ever you finish a section and you are confident that you understand it go take a break have a walk and a glass of water (important to keep hydrated as it helps with your memory) then get a friend to test you on the section that you have just completed, he should ask you about two questions per page.
5. Review the hard parts
Once you have finished the book, you will know what sections are more difficult for you to understand, so go back to these sections and focus some more time on these areas.
6 Final test
Once you done studying get your friend to ask you 10 random questions from the book, repeat five times, if you get around 9 or 8 out of 10 correct you can be confident that you can succeed and pass the test.

How to pass your Botswana drivers theory test, PART 1 an introduction
Welcome
First of all let me tell you why i am writing this help guide, ok so lets go back a few years, and i have stood in the lines outside maun transport office at four in the morning, not that i was alone, i was hoping i would be alone but alas even at four in the morning i am number 50 something in the unofficial official que.
Any how finely at around two o clock in the afternoon i pay my 40 pula and i am booked to write my theory test on Wednesday,
Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon i am with a group of nervous youths waiting to write our test, 40 of us, some of us still paging through our text books to trying to cram something anything, just hoping and praying to pass. Some here have fail this test over 15 times and us newbies stand in awe as these old timers relate there woes and experiences of test writing, we get even more nervous!
Finally we enter the class room, find some chairs, and the test begins.
We go the next day to get our result, only two of us passed...me and one other newbie, it was sad almost unfair it felt.
And so i decided there and then that i would write a help blog, so that hopefully more people would pass

The Best fresh meat in Maun
Botswana Beef is some of the most delicious on this continent if not the best.
And so when you drive into maun make sure you don't leave with tasting it.
so here is a brief rundown on where you can buy a good steak in maun.
On top of the list:
1 BEEF BOYS.
as their name suggests this is deli that knows what they doing and you can get any cut of beef here and if they don't have it they can get it.
Price wise: expect to pay a bit more per kg however there quality makes it worth it!
You can find their shop just past markas fuel station on the opposite side of the road.
2 MAUN MEAT DELI
The best biltong you will find in maun and the most beautiful chicken kebabs wrapped in bacon, a nice friendly shop.
Price wise: fair
You can find their shop at the Rileys Garage complex.
3 SPAR x 2 AND SHOPRITE
both the spars and shoprite have good beef.
spar has a really good block man and so you can get some great cuts.
shoprite has good clean meat but sadly they are not consistent some days you will find some nice cuts other days you will just find packs of mince meat.

Kubu Island Botswana
There are few destinations that are as way
off the beating track as Kubu Island. Way out on the brink of the vast
Makgadadikgadi salt Pans there lies this mysterious granite Island full of
giant boulders and ancient weirdly twisted gnarled Baobab trees and the traces
of a civilization of people that have long since vanished. Kubu Island is truly
an island in the middle of nowhere. As the vast pans that surround it on just
about all points of the compass stretch way out, as far as the eye can see and
way beyond the limits of the horizons. If you love photography this is of
course a must visit place. And then because the pans are so flat the sunsets
and sunrises are absolutely out of this world.
However here are just a few points to
remember when traveling out to Kubu Island
1 There is nothing out there which means
you will need water, food, petrol, and any thing else you may need.
2 Kubu island is a community trust so you
will have to book if you are going to camp.
3 The toilets, Rest rooms or whatever you
call them are not great at Kubu in fact there is just one smelly hot orange
porterloo per camp site. There are no
showers as there is no water. So you will need more water for that.
4 Although Kubu Island is an amazing place
photographically and you can even find bits of broken earth pots and little
beads that were left there by the lost civilizations of who knows who. It’s also
not very big and there is lots of nothingness out there. So don’t plan on
staying there for more then three days unless you like nothingness.

The rains come down Maun Botswana
The rainy season is all way a time of great activity people are plowing planting and fixing leaky hut roofs
but this year the rains here in maun have not been the best. The rains should start in December and end in march
yet we are now nearing the end of January and we have only had a few thunder storms since December. but at least maun is looking green and the maize in most of the fields are knee high ( although sadly some people are only starting to plow there fields now!) some of the bush roads have also turned into small dams or lakes.
the maun river on the other hand is not really affected by the local rains and is still dropping yet news has been coming from the depth of the delta that the flood waters are already on there way. well all for now TMFM
