  ooo make sure u try not to make the same mistakes lor :] er.. going out that part is very impt. U must turn accordingly. some stuff can be avoided like your fail to check blind spot. make sure u see here n there.. moving off or stopping. practice on the stuff u not very familiar lor ^^v

  so sorry to hear u failed again. yr abv points are very standard markings of tp. practice on improving yr weak points like above. avoid striking kerb (10 points) and IFs. 35 lessons not much compared to mine (40). remember, practice makes perfect. you shud be able to pass on yr 3rd attempt. happy revising!

  actually its does not matter u already gone for 20 lesson or 30 lesson or even 40 lesson or even 50 lesson.you must actually learn from each lesson and take each lesson as if you are already qualified driver with valid licence.not taking each lesson as learning.if you keep on learning,when can you complete your learning i wonder?

  ya, u haf to learn frm ur mistakes. there are some ppl who went revisions so many time that she needed 2 booklets. in the end, got 18points. juz try to stay calm during the test. must haf that confident face. dun regard the tester's presence, juz treat him as ur instructor. or better, ur friend. so u wun feel so stressed up. n prove to 'ur friend' that u cld drive well. he wun be killin u if u fail the test, so dun exert too much pressure on urself also.

  Is it a MUST to use engine brake always when going downslope?
  What if the road ahead of you is clear and u are travelling on 4th/3rd gear?
  Should I change down to 3rd/2nd gear and take off foot from accelerator pedal or should I just take off my foot from the accelerator at 4th/3rd gear gear?
  
  Incorrect brakingt on slope? What does that mean? and what is correct?
  
  thanks for advice....taking TP test at end of the month...getting abit nervous liao so trying to learn as much as possible from the ppl here.

  i dunno if is correct ornot. depends on the degree of ur downslope. those gentle ones(like 5 degree?), juz take off accel. those steeper ones, than downgrade ur gear. but most of the time on slope, i m in 3rd gear. accel pedal off gettin ready to brake. tester didnt say anythin. remember, safety first!!
  
  as for incorrect brakin on slope, for upward slope, u clutch in than brake. for downward, u brake than clutch in.
  
  for clearer better explaination, better approach ur instructor. jiayou!

  put it this way.
  
  correct braking aka the safest driving style that that moment in time. thats all that they r looking at.. safety.
  
  and.. drive like u wanna be driven.. if u dun wanna be driven by urself.. what chance others wanna be driven by u..
  
  gd luck.

  i don know wat i tell u is correct anot but just a piece of advise, u have to use engine brake when u are going down slope infact u should also depress the brake abit if u feel the car is moving very fast down.... it will be very dangerous if u don depress the brake if u feel the car is fast cause u may hit the car infront...
  
  when u are driving n u see the traffic light infront still green colour n u are at 4th gear, u should change to 3rd gear n slow down just incase it change to red light.. remember toward traffic light, u have to change 4th gear to 3rd gear... if not the tester will deduct point... itsok to stop at 3rd gear but i don its ok to stop at 4th gear...

  if tts the case, than its ur clutch tts the problem. u must release ur clutch to its bitin point (slowly release ur clutch till a level when u can feel ur car slightly sink). thats the point u haf to MAINTAIN. release ur handbrake wif the clutch still at that level, n accel abit, than slowly release ur clutch.
  
  biting pointin is the most impt thing for circuit. u haf to master it v well.
