I was nervous too and it was so easy in the end. Just drive relaxed like you normally do, don't exceed the speed limit and just drive really defensive. Piece of cake

Bring a bottle of brandy with you and take a few swag of it to calm your nerves just before the test......

Dont be stupid. Listen to what your instructor says. Drive responsible. Hit as many babies as possible(helps with points)

Stole my thunder! Was going to say: Memorize your pedestrian point chart...

Don't think too much about driving itself, you'll get really confused, your subconscious will do better, just stay relaxed.
good luck.

Ahh, the old driving test. I remember when I took my test, all but a few years ago now. It all started out great, I was confident like everyone said I should be and I was doing quite well and eliminating my stress levels. This lasted for an entire 2 minutes. Due to the insane amounts of concentration I was putting into not crashing into anything, I forgot to pay attention to my speedometer. Little did I realise that I was going 20km's above the speed limit and rising. Unfortunately for me, though, my examiner noticed this as well and I knew straight away that I had failed.

Now, normally most people would drive quite well after this, knowing there's no pressure any more. I, on the other hand, was not one of those people. I was freaking out and furious. How did I manage to get 20km's above the speed limit? You idiot Dylan! I kept bashing my mind up over and over again and sort of forgot that I was even driving. Now here's a pro-tip: when you drive, don't ever forget the fact that you are driving. As I was lost in my own little world, I sped straight through a give way sign and was rudely brought back to reality by my examiner when I heard him screaming as he was pulling up my handbrake to stop my vehicle plummeting into an on-coming land cruiser. Luckily the other driver was paying attention and realised that his car actually had brakes, unlike my own, so I narrowly avoided killing us all in a terrible, terrible burning inferno.

So my advice is simple: In the middle of your test pull out a camera, tell the instructor that you have evidence of him looking at kiddy porn on the internet and blackmail him to pass you. I assure you, it will be much more effective then trying to do the whole "driving" thing.

Not too defensively or they will say you're not 'strong' enough in decision making.

man driving tests in USA(?) must be hard(or rather real) in my state in India I had it easy

Didn't even take a test just showed up a few times, talked a little, submitted a few forms/documents and hired a agent for a few hundred rupees to show up for me for the next 2 weeks and got my license.

In retrospect that might not be such a good thing considering traffic accidents though :/
Lucky I'm a good driver, except for parallel parking I'm good

I'm taking it soon so my question would be: What could be hard to do?

Hmm. They never ask that here, but the answer is pretty simple. You just turn the wheels so when the car goes backwards it stops against the bump on the side(no idea whats the name in english)

In most cases the hardest thing is staying calm(although i didn't technically take a test i was pretty worried b4 i went there and found out how things were), especially when driving with other ppl(people that are judging your driving skills - teachers,instructors,parents,etc), i know i still get nervous when i drive with my dad.

Take a gun with you. When you both get into the car, take the gun and place it in your lap and say, "Ride or die mothafucka!" then just floor it. If he knows whats good for him hell pass you.

well I took the test early this morning and I failed because the test was on a course, not on the real streets and they were marked really confusing, but I managed to do well on both parkings and the one way. But the instructor said I did a illegal left turn... but I ended up in the right lane. So I was kinda confused she gave me no room for a tiny mistake :banghead:
