You know I'm all for helping people cheat on tests but I think this is one that you need to pass without any hints.

 

It's better for all of us that way!

Agree, no one helped me cheat on my driver's test.  Just make sure you are aware of these few things that can really ding you:

 

1.  Observe school zones.  They'll probably take you through at least one.

2. Give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks.

3.  Keep your eyes on the road.

4.  Don't drive over curbs when making turns.

Is the dreaded parallel parking required? It's quite a lost art, so much so that they had to invent "parking assist" for people.

I had to do parallel parking on my Nevada driving test, even though no one in Southern Nevada parallel parks.  I failed that section, but was still able to pass my driving test at 80%.  Working and living in the suburbs, I've never had to parallel park, and I just try to avoid it when Downtown.

I'd bet most people can't properly load paper into a typewriter either.

Parallel parking should be a required part of the driving test and all candidates should have to take the test in a car with a standard (stick) transmission!

 That summed up my driving test.  I learned on a stick and the first and only car I have owned is manual.

I took my test in a wagon pulled by a team of horses (JK!), but I would be sure and FIRST when you get in your vehicle fast your seat belt and make sure the tester does, too.  Then, check your mirrors.  Always be sure and signal all your intentions and watch for pedestrians/bicyclists.  And most important of all BREATHE!

 

You'll do fine.

If you really want to practice, go to the DMV and start driving from there.  The exit into the near lane is the hardest part anyway.  That curb can be tricky because the lane is not extra wide.  Any place you can drive from there is likely to be on your test route.  And then go back and practice parking in the lot.
