Practise your parallel parking. If you don't get that reasonably right you will fail.
Knowing when you need to come to a stop, even if it's not posted is also a biggy. The examiners generally try to get you for improper stopping at the side of the road, when you're pulling out of the parking lot. That is, if there is a sidewalk, by law you must stop at that sidewalk, check to see if there are any pedestrians, if not, proceed over the sidewalk, and also stop at the roadway. Check to see that traffic is clear enough to pull out safely.
They'll take you through a school zone, and if it's school hours you had better make sure you slow right down as soon as you hit the first school zone sign. (Check your book for the speed in your area.)
Also, the examiner will tend to ride you a bit, to see if he can unnerve you. You have got to stay calm to show that you would be calm under unusual pressure. My examiner even ended up shouting at me when I was doing my parallel parking, and my only response was a cool "yes?".
And you will have to show that you can back up the car into a tight parking space. They make the parking slots at the DMV slightly smaller just to make it difficult.

Iritadragon has it pretty well right on!
I can only add two things.
SAFETY first.
ALWAYS signal for turns, always be sure to NOT tailgate, etc. Always stop where you are supposed to.
The second thing is logical, but usually un-thought; When you begin a maneuver, the examiner doesn't know what you are thinking, nor does he know what YOU see. Therefore articulate (speak) those things that make a difference in your decision making process, such as---
Examiner asks you to make a left turn at an intersection. Announce to him in a clear, confident voice (NO attitude) "You have directed me to turn left at this intersection. I have turned my turn signal on (for the appropriate distance before the turn) and have begun to slow. I have stopped, and there are no pedestrians or traffic to interfere with the safe execution of this maneuver". Or something to the same effect.
If he wants you to make a lane change, do the same thing.
Anything you see that you should use to make a decision, tell him.
"That car just cut me off. I will slow down just a little to allow for safe following distance."
"The sign says speed limit is 35 mph, but we are in a school zone, and when there are children present, the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph".
You know what to do, and so does he, but HE doesn't KNOW that you know, so tell him.
Good Luck
