just practice all the stuff. exaggerate things like looking at intersections and checking mirrors and stuff, as in, make sure the test-giver sees that you are looking and stuff. watch out for one ways, etc.

keep your speed a wee bit under the limit.
check everything double time.
keep your hands 10 and 2.
dont go up on the curb when you're parallel parking. i did that and failed

get some big boxes and stack em up like fake cars to practice parallel parking. Nothing gets driving instructors revved up like a 16 yr old who can throw it into a parallel park with skill. Also don't turn on a yellow light, and just cause a stop sign is in a parking lot doesn't make it stoptional.

whenever your parents are driving somewhere, ask to drive so you can get practice in. especially with parking. but don't even worry about parking either, because if you don't get it right at first, you're allowed to correct it and they won't take off any points. also, when in doubt, use your blinker. it's better to go blinker crazy than to not use it when you should have. check your mirrors consistently to be always aware of your surroundings. hardest part in my opinion was the written test, but most of it's common sense. good luck.

what helped me a tonn was every 2-5 minutes i would just take a really deep breath. calmed me down a lot while driving, and let the tester know i wasnt cocky or anything.

DONT DRIVE WITHOUT AN ADULT IN THE CAR

ASK THE TEST GIVER TO WEAR THEIR SEATBELT

IF THEY SAY GO THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, DON'T GO THROUGH THE STOP SIGN

its hella easy.

all you really need to think about practicing is the maneuverability test. but that is also pretty simple.

It's really easy.
The only tricky thing is to always look over your shoulder when changing lanes and stuff like that.

use both.
dont just rely on your mirrors cause you can have blind spots.
my friends instructor told her that they always look for MIB-correct use of mirrors, indicators, and breaks.

very corny way of remembering it but yeh...it works.

then again, she failed because she didnt stop at a stop sign...it had been hit and pulled out of the ground, so it wasnt there, but the solid white line was.

Legit advice right there homie.

Also, make sure you make a complete 3 second stop at stop signs. Rolling and checking doesn't count. I did this through 3 signs before the instructor said, "You know you can't do that, right?".

yea im taking mine tomarrow, i went threw what i think is the route with my dad, its in a small city which is kinda shity, the route  though is mad hard, like when you turn the speed limit sign is right on the corner of the road so you pass it with out even seeing it and its 15 mph school zone which they fuck everyone up on, they also bring you threw this small park which is 15 mph, and 15 is actually really hard to do when you actually try to go threw a whole park, its sooo slow, but i hope i pass, im pretty diesle at driving, taking my dads subaru i think, i reallllly hope i pass first time, does anyone know how many points you need to pass and if you fail how long it takes to take it again?
