OK I got this one, Just took my Son through it.
Other than the normal looking before you back and while you back.
1. Know how to parallel park. You get one shot. If you fail that and enough of the other stuff it will put you into the fail zone.
2. use of signals.
3. when you park going up a hill or down, remember to turn you wheels the proper direction. and set the E-Brake. remember also to signal when coming back into the lane of traffic from that stop.
4. Know your heater, A/C and defrost controls and how they work. This one got my Daughter.
5. When looking in the mirror make a head movement not just a look of the eyes as you would normally do. They may count off if they don't think you look in the mirror enough.
My Son was tested in The Kansas City Mo area. one time he got it.
Most of all don't freak out and be nervous. You might drive around the roads over by the office to get familiar where you will be driving for the test. Think about how many people do this every day.....You will do fine.
These tips along with the others will set you on a course to pass.
Good Luck

The driving test is very easy if you have practiced. Every county has a different course, but what you have to di is the same. You have to drive around a short course, making sure you signal when turning and stop at signs. If you do not signal or come to a FULL stop, the instructor can fail you, so do both. You will also come to a section of the course where you must parallel park between cones. They give you way more space then you need, so take your time. If you a hit a cone, you also fail. Afterwards you do a K turn and your done.
Good luck, I hope this helped. Remember, the order of signs or tests is different dependin on the county you take the test.

You take a written test to make sure you know the main rules, and a practicle test to check that you can safely operate the vehicle.
The examiner for the practical test knows you are nervous and will allow for that.
Dont be hurried. Its better to be a bit cautious at stop signs.
The test is usually parrallel parking, and then a short drive. You will make a series of left and right turns, stop at stop signs or traffic lights. All the normal driving things.
You may be asked to pull over to the side of the road.
The examiner is watching to see that you maintain a distance from other cars, use turn signals, obey the driving rules and speed limits. Be cautious at stop signs and intersections. You must come to a COMPLETE stop.

Well first off you should feel lucky.. In California (as of Jan 2007) you cant even get a full license at your age.. you can only get a conditional permit until you are 18 here.
You should be OK.. its just basic driving... turn left turn right, come to a stop etc etc.. worst they might make you do is parallel park (that one screw up a lotta people LOL)
