Answer 1

Well for one DO NOT FREAK OUT!! Sorry if that sounded mean but if you're paranoid, you may over correct things or do something you didn't intend too (sometimes). If you've been practicing driving a lot with your parents and you haven't done anything wrong you should be fine. But on to more direct hints:

1) Check over your shoulder EVERY time before you change lanes, turn, etc.: You should have heared this before in your classes but in one possible time where it's obvious there is not a single person around when you do a park on the side of the road or whatever, you still have to check over your shoulder (I messed up here once and got points docked).

2) Remember to use the parking brake/lever when you go into a parked possition: when your instructor asks to park on a hill or wherever REMEMBER TO INITIATE THE PARKING BRAKE!!! I messed up here as well and forrgot to do that even though I turned my wheel the correct way and put it in the park possition on the hill. And take it off last when you are ready to go (1. have the car on, 2. put it in drive/reverse with the pedal and parking brake still on, 3. take off the PARKING brake and then go.)

Those are probably some of the bigger things but the most important thing is not to stress out and lose sleep over it and drive safely and normally. But in the end I got eleven points docked total and still passed.

Good Luck!! =)
