I heard it's about the same as the Dutch driving test, which I finally passed last week after three tries. Nerves totally screwed it up for me. So yeah.... try not to be nervous (easier said than done, eh). Like you said pass rate is 43%, there is NO shame in not passing, because they'll fail you for the smallest things. My first test I failed because I didn't look around at 'the rest of traffic' enough. Second time I know I screwed up and made some bad mistakes due to really bad nerves. Last go went a lot better. I made a few small mistakes, but I also solved some situations really well. So they passed me. They'll watch your confidence in driving, your overall driving. They won't fail you for one small mistake, but they will if there's nothing good to balance it. For my last test I've taken valerian tablets for about a week in advance and it helped me stay calmer. Good luck to you, stay calm and drive as you know you can!

Answer 4

I took 4 but I am a bint. Keep going, if you fail get straight on the dsa website and book the next available test, thats what I did. If you fail don't blame any one else and don't let people say "they're only allowed to pass so many a month" if you drive well you will pass. If you make a mistake try your best to ignore it, I made a mistake on my fourth test but I still passed. Good luck.

Answer 5

Depends which country you're in - it's easier to pass in the US than the UK. I passed first time (in the UK), but I know most people here don't. The overall national pass rate in the UK for April 2003 to March 2004 was 42.8% (source Driving Standards Agency).

According to the DSA, it takes an average person approximately 1.5 hours, for each year of their life. So if you're 17 years old, it could take 25/30 hours.

Answer 6

(1) Always use the turn signal while turning. In fact, point out you are using it, the tester doesn't always see the indicator
(2) Always stop for stop signs and red lights no matter how stupid it seems. Particularly when turning right on red. You still have to stop.
(3) Learn how to parallel park. I am not sure why anybody cares, but you need to learn how to do it. Most drivers tests include it.

Have fun! Warn me if you are in my area the first 6 months after passing!

Answer 7

Not hard at all unless you borrow a friends taxi and drive it into a canal of water and make the person testing you pull you to safety. In that case it would be hard.

Answer 8

I passed mine in December, took me 3 months to learn. I found the best way was to have a professional driving instructor for like 2 hours per week, then i went out in my mom's car with one of my parents for practice. Drive anywhere - if they need to go to your grandma's house - you drive. if they need to go shopping - you go with them and drive. Listen to what they advise, but of course remember that they may have passed a long time ago and things have changed. This is what I found - my instructor told me certain things (like driving at or just under the speed limit where possible) whereas my parents told me I was going too fast. SO take their advice onboard but remember to ask your instructor about it too.
Of course, to drive your parents car with them you would need to be put on the insurance, but to my knowledge it made no difference that my licence was only provisional. As long as the person with you is over-21 and holds a licence themselves, I think it's ok - as long as you are insured.

Answer 9

yes so make sure that you study hard. it all depends on the inspecter, one time, someone i know did not pass because he came across a pedestrian, the padestrian let the car pass, therefore, the driving instructore failed the driver for not letting the padestrian have "the right of way".

Answer 10

It is not hard if you practice all the time. Practice makes things easy.

Answer 11

Not hard if you know how to drive. If you drive like half the people I see in Dallas, it might be impossible.
