stop and never move off in 1st gear.
S course mount kerb
directional change mount kerb.
Slope backward roll by more than 1 meter..

Hi there.... Just passed my tp during my first try in jan this yr... was from private sch... Anyway, I can empathise with you rite now.... cldnt sleep the entire nite b4 my test, but at the end of the day, told myself tat either I can continue being afraid of all the unfortunate things tat can happen during the test or I can be confident enough to show the tester wat I have learnt over the last 5 months.... I did the latter and passed.... try to do some mental-driving before you start the test (at the waiting area). Dun kan cheong in the circuit... Read up on all the previous threads on tp in this forum and rem to take ur own time to clear the circuit. If the tester is rushing you, just reply "Yes Sir" but continue to drive at ur own pace. Its either this or you can follow his pace and risk screwing up ur tp and waste ur precious time and $$$ again. Lastly dress appropriately and good luck for ur tp tomorrow.

hey....thanks so much for your kind advice..
i really need tt man....
Btw I heard from my friend who took her test in BBDC, she said that the tester fault her for stopping the car at red lights on 3rd gear.
My instructor on the other hand told me its ok to stop the vehicle in 3rd gear..
Guys, any advice? shd I drop 1 gear to 2nd or is it ok to stop at 3rd when stopping for red light? -
suggest u save up and book another revision soon

Roger tt. Thanks for the advice.Originally posted by wudimax:suggest u save up and book another revision soon -
Its kinda strange tat she was faulted for stopping on the 3rd gear. I was taught tat its ok to stop on the 3rd gear. You can even stop on the 4th gear shld you not have enough time to lower ur gear, but tats ONLY if you dun have the time. Maybe someone who was previously from sch can confirm this?Wat the tester is looking for is someone who can drive smoothly and safely. Anyway, refer to ur checklist(the one for tp) when in doubt.

depends on situations. If you are on 2nd gear you do not move to third to stop. A lower gear will have a better stopping grip. What the tester wants will be a calm tester who can react to situational changes. Not someone who base his/her knowledge just from the books....Originally posted by incredible:hey....thanks so much for your kind advice..

you should and try to stop at 2nd gear. because you are driving at 50km/h, it is easy to brake at 2nd gear.

mental strength is more important that actual skill. many people are skilled in driving but lack the confidence and resulted in a fail. Dun put too much pressure on yourself to pass. just drive as per normalOriginally posted by incredible:My TP test tmr at SSDC...

yes indeed.
first test....
I realised too....after so many rd of lessons, driving seems so comfortable....but when it comes to the real thing...my goodness....all mistakes tt seems unlikely to happen are all happening!
but anyway, i will put in my best effort tmr and tell myself ...its only driving mah... no big deal.
but really thanks for all comments. -
Good luck to your test
- Check all blind spots
- Do not do wide turning, turn early.
- Take your time in circuit. No time limit except in parellel and vertical parking
- S course, crank course, directional change, parking use half clutch is the best. Remember your safety check in your parking. Check blind spots.
- On the road, drive confidently. How? Look below
- If it is a all clear road, shift up your gears
- Got car in front, slow down to gear 3 and anticipate
- Can stop at gear 3. If got time and distance, better gear 2.
- Look out for traffic light, if green light still on, apply the arrow sign. Once reach the third arrow, dun step accelerator, slow down if speed is fast. If near the line liao, speed up.
- On the road, always check your front, rear mirror every 5 seconds. Even it is unneccessary, show to your tester that you always check. *Wayang a bit lah
Most importantly, stay calm and awake. If tired, go SSDC buy redbull to drink, very effective. If you check all your blind spots, 70% likely to pass.
Thats all, good luck. Hope to see your good result posting in this forum tmr. All the best -

tester is this CS LIM.
He is real nasty....F me all the way from start till end....even after i leave the room, he still find chance to F me.
But i guess, if he is nice to me, maybe he would have fail me.
So all fair and square...He F me but he did still give me chance.
No matter what, I am still grateful to him for passing me today whether or not, indeed he is giving me chance or I did it on my own merit.
Yeah sure, I will drive safely and more importantly I will drive with lots of patience. -
lucky u. i passed only on the second attempt.. both attempts tested by him.

You prolly didn't pull your handbrake up fully?

how to check? u slowly let go ur brake, if the car roll slightly backward, tt means u didnt engage ur handbrake fully. -
