Look on your blindspots when you're going to change lanes, it marks you down alot and some of the people will end the test right then (happened to my friend).

shoulder checks and school zones. go EXACTLY the speed limit, or maybe a little bit below. even a little bit over the speed limit in a school zone = instafail.

Make sure the car comes to a complete stop everytime you're at a stop sign or something. I failed my first driving test because I repeatedly did "California" stops (slowing down but never stopping to the point where the car jerks back)

Check all three mirors before and after any turn. That's what I missed points on.

Hitting the curb at all is a fail.
I remember I got marked down most for merging incorrectly.
Signal, look, and then turn the wheel and begin merging. Don't try and combine them like you will once you get your licence. Do them one at a time.
Also, exaggerate when you check both ways when crossing an intersection. Move your head, don't just move your eyes.

You pull up along-side it and back up as if you were going to park in front of a car parked along the curb. As Knarl said, if you nudge it you fail. You'll do fine.

Yes, you will be asked to park along side of a curve, and then reverse for a half a block to a block.

keep hands at 10 and 2, turn hand over hand, and the part that gets most people... is the stop signs.. dont stop AT the stop sign, stop at the line in front of the stop sign. obey all speeds is a must... never ever ever ever take a hand off the wheel unless using it to turn signal.. they will be in your ass if u takeyour hand off the wheel and put in on your lap or the center console.

Becareful of the sneaky ones.
So you drive with a guardian to the test place right? And then the guy would ask the parent/guardian to get off the card to sign something and then he would ask you to pull up a little. Once the car moves, he failes you for driving without guardians in car. Just, wtf =/

If u do or say something dumb, the state trooper may find something to purposely fail u for. So. um, stfu and ask questions when u need to!
If he tells you to turn into a do not enter zone, tell him and say it is a one way or something. And becareful! You don't want to know how i got my license... and the ease.
