bottomline is ai zai... ai zai... -
I passed my driving test after my 6th attempt. The first 4 times I learnt under private instructor and he was extremely strict with me & I always felt very uncomfortable. After that I decided to go to Bukit Batok Driving School after my sister passed her driving test on her first try. I still failed in the school on my first try but finally passed on my second attempt. I thank God I managed to pass (just got 18 points exactly)...this tester was different from the previous testers in that he didn't make me nervous & I was able to pass my circuit & road driving tests.
Things I have done in the past which warranted an immediate failure include :
- Mounting up kerb while parking
- Mounting up kerb on the S-course.
- Knocking down poles while doing reverse parking.
- Stopping on the zebra crossing exactly.
Whenever I failed my test, I would feel totally demoralised but I never adopt the "I give up" mentality. Eventually after much perservarance & determination, I passed the test.
So whoever has been failing the test, please don't give up. Stay focused & don't let the tester see you are nervous. Best of luck

Hi folks, well I am yet another victim who failed the first time for my tp few days back. Still havent got over it yet. Considering the fact of having to wait 2 months and pumping more money for the revision lessons makes me even more frustrated after spending so much money. Well, wad to do...

....failing is the mother to sucess
i feel tat the driver must be stable (zai) in handling the machine overall is to let the tester feel comfortable when u r driving....
dun be gan jeong....very important point to take note....listen to instructions by tester carefully....some actions need to be abit dramatic like checking blindspot.....signalling dun forget.....always safety NO.1........safety comes 1st very important....if fail then take again dun give up....but for private candidate hav to wait longer to book the next tp again lah...nevertheless dun give up
about the avoid monday to tp test thing is up to u to believe....i hav 3 frens whom tp test is on mondays...and they passed.... another fren jus passed today: Monday 20th dec 2004...... -
Well, i fail in the following areas:
Speed too slow for traffic and road conditions-10pts
Beat amber( i was at the last arrow marking)-8pts
Sharp turn-2pts
insufficient aceleration and inappropriate gear-8pts
Change lane abrupt-4pts
Fail to signal at good time-4 pts
incorrect positioning-4pts
i went for so many revision lessons... so disappointed in myself -
seriously, i m damn curious about the monday thingy too.... but actually i passed on a monday too... but the reason i chosen monday that time was b'cos i needed the rest on sunday to prepare for the test... work was tiring...
anyway, TP is really all about pure luck... not only weather (as mentioned in the earlier post), it also depend on the route, other traffic users and the car itself.... Imagine a road full of taxis.... one obstruction after another thanks to them... really will test your reaction up to the max... And if u r from School, the cars will all be different... my fren kana one with a "dying" clutch... in the end he kept stalling and of cos got more kan cheong....
so to the original poster, good luck and all e best eh..!! never give up..!! The time u had selected for your next test (10.15am) is actually one of the best times eh, from wat my instructor advices me tat time... cos at this time it's already after morning peak hour and still before lunch time... so the road will be quite empty, & easier to drive..!!
Btw where's ur test? cdc or ssdc or bbdc? -
and oh ya.... be very very polite to the tester also.... greet him once u get on the car and reply with "yes" or watever when he gave any instructions.....anything not clear can politely ask him to repeat the instruction again 1.... i think i heard of some case whereby the tester gave my fren another chance after he made a immediate failure mistake... maybe he like my fren bah...hehe...

for me,
1st time passed with 10 pts at ubi.
but i did have driving experience in army.. so that helps a bit..
some advice:
1 ) always check blind spot.. n make it obvious that you are checking
2 ) drive at ease, dun be kan jiong or start panicking
3 ) try not to get any demerit points in circuit
4 ) always signal
5 ) get used to the car u r driving for test. know all the positions for parking, turning etc..
6 ) dun drive too slow.. but also dun drive too fast!
7 ) always look further ahead and prepare for any kind of incident that might happen.
8 ) show that you r confident
9 ) learn to drive in different weather conditions and time (especially the time of your test)
10) always believe in yourself and tell yourself you gonna take things smoothly and pass the test so that you dun need to see your stupid instructor or tester ever again! -
My test will be held at BBDC and there are usually no more 10.15am slots. However, mine is at 11am and on a friday. So, i dunno whether i will be at the right day at the right time or not.

tell u guys a little secret - don't spread ok?
take test on holiday eve very high chance to pass. happy holiday mood mah. serious... =X

i was devastated when i failed my TP for the first time
... Took me a long time to get over it.. After that i break for 1 month due to exams and I took 4 revision lessons for the second try...
During the second attempt, while waiting in the sha zhu chang, I met this auntie who i saw during my first Tp, turned out that she also student from kovan CDC... It was her 3rd attempt and we chatted with each other to calm our nervEs... The tester face is really charcoal black and when I walked towards my car, he actually didnt follow me cos i walking under the sun and he walked under the shade..
During the slope part my car actually rolled back 3 times and died 3 times, i really want to cry and break down at that point becos i never had problem handling slope. luckily the private car beside me on the right waited for me and didn't make me more kan cheong... i told myself to relax and try one last time, this time it finally went over... the thought of it still scares me now, i dunno how i managed to overcome that but i did~ i was actually breathing deeply and chanting "relax girl, relax... u can do it"... the tester must be thinking i am xiao or what...
i felt quite disappointed after that but the tester kept quiet and didn't tick anything so i just continued... i thought sure gone case, fail again so i not nervous anymore and can drive normally.. hahaha...
when i went up to the room with him, he still never say anything just tick tick tick, minus 10 points (6 for the slope and 4 for wide turning) and handed the paper to me, still no comments... i was so happie~
actually wearing sexy, i dun think it helps much... the first time i wore spag top, i striked kerb twice also fail.. second time i wore my liverpool jersey, nothing much to show then can pass... first time i pray at si ma lu also didnt work~ my instructor say take at end of month easier to pass so first attempt i booked 29th then second time i took my test on the 8th ... but i agree that luck is an important factor...
Good luck to those who are taking their TP
-
i think luck play apart, the 2nd time i took, the moment i on the engine its start to rain heavy make me blur cause i seldom learn driving during rainy season. of course i don believe in wearing short skirt ect.. u see the tester all old man see liao also turn off. u still wan to let them see yr wonderful white leg? no way man. wat i am sad is tat... i wasted so much time n $$ but still fail. make me feel useless n stupid. we pay so much n get sadness... worth it anot? 4th time i fail, i sure give up. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[/b][/quote]
i suggest u give up, dont blame others, just your yourself, i am sure all the testers are diff, if u meant to fail, u should cos u are not up to standard., pls go back and learn your mistakes and not keep going for lesson till the tp comes. -
I know that despite being "advised" so many time by so many people from all walks of life on needing to be confident, calm, etc etc, the test day is test day, you can't help it but feel (and perhaps do)exactly the opposite of what people have said, you can't seems to calm down, tend to make mistake not made in the past, etc because you know that time is a major change for you, a time when you will move on to a new paradigm of life...able to enjoy the pleasure (or pressure) of driving on roads without the stupid L Plate in front of the car, without the instructor beside you, without keeping to the confinement of the test area, if you make it, that is.
Since advice is useless, I can offer suggestions, maybe if you are under private, maybe can ask you instructor to mock up a scenario exactly / closest to the test, treat the mock test if you are really taking the test, go through the circuit, go through one of a pre-selected route and see how many points your instructor give you. Go through as many time as possible. The important thing is that you have to treat each time like the real test.
I know the feeling is that when you instructor(whom has become more of your friend, teacher, someone you are familiar with) is beside you, you will relax and able to perform but change a person, the sense of security is gone! So my suggestion is that maybe you get your instructor to arrange to can get another instructor (whom might be your instructor's friend) to sit beside you for a change. Again treat it like the real test with the real tester.
You might wish to consider...

Imagine if you passed and get to drive on the public road yourself, are you gonna blame it on luck when u crash into other vehicles? Or worse still knock down people?! It's other people's lives at stake!!

I've seen too many horrible drivers on the road, so much that I wonder how they passed in the first place. These people are not only road hazards, but are a danger to other people's lives. That is why I encourage those who know it themselves that they are not confident and not able to handle a car, pls dont even bother to pass the TP test and become a danger on the road. sori if i sound discouraging, but it's for your own good too.

i disagree with youOriginally posted by Poopie-Head:err, not trying to be mean here but I hope those who know it themselves that they are not good at controlling the vehicles - plz don't take any road tests anymore. If u have been failing for so many times (like 4 times or more
), then plz re-think about getting a license. These people cannot handle a vehicle well, so what happens if somehow they finally managed to pass then drive in the public road? It is very dangerous!
If u fail so many times, plz be true to yourself and think if u are indeed comfortable and good in controlling a vehicle. Chances are, you're not, and there's a high chance u will get involved in accidents even if u finally get a license. Lives are at stake here.
P.S > I'm not specifically talking about the topic starter, juz stating my views. Chill
some are fast learner, but some are slow learner
failing many times may mean slow learner, but not necessary a hopeless driver.
using your logic, many school dropouts die liao

As for your analogy, a school dropout who failed may actually come to terms with the realisation that he/she is not made out to be as capable as others in the academic sense, but of coz it does not mean he/she is a hopeless or worthless person. He/she may excel in other fields. For example, if u dislike maths or music, and is terrible with it, do u think you can be as good as the others? Yes, practise helps, but you will always be the underdog when u compared to people who do better than u.
As for driving, please be aware that we are dealing with a very dangerous hazard if a person cant even control a vehicle well. A person who kept failing for so many times, you telling me he/she is 'unlucky'?
A mistake can be fatal! -

giving more time to practise and forget about how many time she fails. she could make it eventually.
it doesn't matter how many times one takes to pass, how the driver drives safely on road is more important.
pass the test and get that piece of plastic is only the stepping stone to drive on road legelly
i agree a mistake can be fatal
drivers who pass on the 1st test could be more dangerous, as they may think they are good drivers. -
I passed on my 4th attempt, and it happens to be on my birthday.
.
Spent so much money, so I dun wish to give up man, die die still must go for it. Even if 4th time fail, go 5th time, 6th time
Just dun give up and LEARN FROM MISTAKES.
Drive slowly and steadily. Pick up faster from stop at junction. dun be like idiot taking 5s to move off. Testers hate tat. but dun speed at the end. Memorise route so that u know when to filter lane early. And also check ur mirrors!
