For the driving test, you’ll only feel confident if you’ve really put your time in behind the wheel. If there are particular skills you’re worried about, use your time with experienced drivers to practice those skills. Many new drivers struggle with parking, so finding an empty lot to practice skills like parallel parking can help you build confidence.
Get a good night’s sleep before the exam. Any distractions can prove costly and being tired leads to poor decisions behind the wheel and can leave you distracted while taking the written portion of the driving test. Set yourself up for success with a good night’s sleep and making sure you have something to eat before the test.
