I recommend reading the manuals and materials several times before the test. You'll have to pass the written before the driving exam. Relax the night before - don't cram, you'll only confuse yourself. You can practice parallel parking with some soda bottles, preferably the two liters, no liquid but some sand in them to help them stand. Then place them where bumpers would be on two cars to parallel park between and then practice a couple times. You can do it! My mistake is always not enough speed or not cutting the wheels sharply enough.
You'll do fine after a bit of practice - confidence is important and remember to be polite to the person judging your driving.

Yes, I did do the parallel parking in my drivers test. It is not that hard, you just need to practice before you do it. I had to do it between two cars. Once you do it you will never have to do it again and I don't I will circle the area until I can get in without parallel parking. I also had to do a 3 point turn in a driveway.

I did and so did my son, 21 years apart. We were both told to pull up next to and then parallel park behind the only car on a street. No other cars around at all.
Good luck on Monday!

well stay relax and do not freak out. When you proceed in your parking always look around your surroundings meaning scan the road of on coming traffic. Then when it trying to park make sure your signal light is on to the direction in which you is parking. After that make sure you is far enough from the park to turn in straight and look on both sides to see if you left enough room for you and your friends or family to get out of the car.

You will have to parallel park. Also, make sure you know where all of the car's controls are (windshield wipers, headlights, high beam switch, etc). If you can't find one of the controls, they may not let you take the test.

yeah, i had to parallel park...its not that bad if you practice. maske sure you stay calm when you take the test. when you are nervous, your mind isnt exactly focused and that can cause you to make simple mistakes and you might not get your license because of them........they give you ample amount of time to attempt to park if you struggle the first time so....just breath. everything will be ok....TRUST ME!

It depends on what state you live in. We live in Texas, and neither of my kids had to parallel park. You should check with your local department of public safety.

Yes I did and never have again. I'm sure by now everyone had given you the advice on exactly how your supposed to do it. My advice is not to psych yourself out. Relax clear your mind and just do it.

I actually didn't have to take a drivers test so no. It just depends on where you live.
