Consider taking it with another school if that is a possibility, as another instructors point of view can be very helpful. If you can afford it, take another lesson once you feel you are prepared. You should be comfortable and confident in your abilities before you seriously consider taking the test.

Drive as much as you can and STUDY the drivers handbook over the next 3 (or more) weeks. From what you said in your post, my recommendation would be to postpone your test. It is completely doable to train and be prepared for the test in one month, but you have to actually train. There is NO substitute for adequate practice, and it will likely be the thing that will make or break your ability to pass the test. You really don't want to practice bad habits, as they will generally require two to three times as much training to break as they did to acquire. If at all possible, complete this practice with someone who has at least 5 years+ of driving experience, and has maintained their knowledge regarding the law. Once again, while it is not required of you, you should strive to have the 50 hours (10 at night) of experience required for minors. The first thing you should do is drive, drive, drive, and drive some more. You may say I am comparing apples to oranges, but the truth is, the difference all comes down to quality and frequency of training.

A much higher percentage pass on the first try than the average driving student as well. With 50 hours of experience, almost without fail, helicopter students are vastly more prepared to take their flight test (an exponentially more complex task) than any driving student I ever had, with the same amount of time behind the wheel. There are more similarities between the two than you might think.

So my new question is (as some of you have volunteered great answers): What tips can you offer a new driver for the driving test or just driving in general?įirst of all, I am a former California driving instructor, and currently in the process of becoming a helicopter flight instructor. I'm going to wait about a month and practice some more.

Tl dr: Is it really so unbelievable that someone can try for their license in less than a month?ĮDIT: Okay, I've taken the overwhelming advice and have decided to reschedule my last 2 hour lesson that was supposed to be today and cancel my test that was scheduled for Friday.

Should I just wait it out until then so I can just get a horizontal license, or does anyone have faith that its not a big deal and I should just take it now? I'm using the driving school's car for the test and I dont feel like forking out $100 for that and then failing. I can count the times I've gotten behind the wheel on two hands, and have so far had 4 hours of lessons starting two weeks ago. I have one 2 hour lesson left today and my driving test is on Friday.

I'm now trying to get my license as soon as possible. Didn't get my license at 16 because my dad is a sexist asshole who doesn't believe women should drive.
