Any tips for passing TP at first try?
-
I booked my TP and i've completed ard 25 practical sessions...
I managed to do everything well but i really dunno whether i can do well on my tp day... becoz ITS ON 24th APRIL!!!! YES, BOOK IN JAN AND TP ONLY IN APRIL!
I already booked the earlist day i can get!
WTH! -
joeacid: you took your lessons from the school or private? cuz i heard this rumour that if you take your lessons in a school, you no need to wait so long for your TP.

It's not a rumour. Schools' waiting time is around 1 - 2 mths.Originally posted by PriscillaTang:joeacid: you took your lessons from the school or private? cuz i heard this rumour that if you take your lessons in a school, you no need to wait so long for your TP.

better dont pin so much hope in passing on lst attempt. TP testers are paid to fail people.. feck!!!!!! got boxes to tick,they will tick as many as possible.. wtf... i drive okok liao still tio 8pointers and purposely ticked all for 4pts which i dont think its so serious lor... nBB!!!!!!!
-
oh man. TP test date is damn long now. last few days i see, if book jan earliest is april liao.
anyway. complete 3.10 and 2 auto car training, 1 simulator and book 6 lesson in advance then can book TP le.. NOTE: book your 6 lesson somewhere near your TP, else u gonna forget everything when u go back that day. haha.
Fast or slow is see ur TP tester is who loh. You will have time to look at his mark board de. den u see he tick where then becareful dont get same mistake again. If you veri kan jiong 1 juz relax and drive. think of safety can le.
GOOD LUCK. -

Heh I still remember, before my test, I only managed to get 1 practice session 3 days before it. The night before I took the test, I got so desperate I started practising parking in GT4 on my playstation.. Passed my test the first time, after spending 2 months in bbdc.
GT4 owns. -

3) Keep quiet all the time (.......)

and my friends were making a joke abt shouting "blindspot check" and "mirror check" during the TP test so that the tester would know u did check. HAHA.
i'm now at module 2. negotiating right turns. 15 practicals booked frm 16/01 - 20/02. -
oh~ stage 2 is nice where u spend all ur sessions on road~ when u get into stage 3, everything will be in circuit~ boring~~~Originally posted by sinicker:i guess u shud just say sorry and explain what wrong u did briefly? i always change gear, hit my instructors' leg. haha. den i say sorry. den he say nvm coz' he sit.. legs open wide2. haha.

Btw, remember to practice everything u dunno on the road and make sure u know everything b4 u go back to the circuit. Becoz i hav friends who went back to the circuit in stage 3 and he has problem negotiating U-turns.
And after the stage 3 and went back to reviews... he can't do his U-turn at all!
Spent 2 sessions practicing his U-turns! -
oh okay. u-turn is my nxt session on monday i hope. 0830-1020. ubi ave 2, the queue for CDC and private learning cars to u-turn is so long!Originally posted by joeacid:oh~ stage 2 is nice where u spend all ur sessions on road~ when u get into stage 3, everything will be in circuit~ boring~~~

yuppy~ make sure u learn it well, coz u'll do one during TP. Its very unlikely that the tester didn't test u on it. Even if the test route doesn't hav a U-turn, the tester can still change the route to juz try on whatever he wants.Originally posted by sinicker:oh okay. u-turn is my nxt session on monday i hope. 0830-1020. ubi ave 2, the queue for CDC and private learning cars to u-turn is so long!

The most important thing is to be calm and confident when driving.
Be a safe driver, but don't drive too slowly or accelerate slowly either( can get points for that, in case some of you didn't know)
Before changing lane, turning right or left, always check your mirrors and blindspot.
Don't drag your gear, change gear at right moment.
Listen instructions carefully. Avoid asking them to repeat.
I think thats about all. I passed my TP the 2nd time. Thinking back now, its not difficult to pass at all.
These guys ( testers) are paid to assess your driving skills, if you fail, blame yourself, don't blame them. Most importantly, learn from your mistakes. Even after passing, you will encounter new situations on the roads. Everyday is a learning process, remember all your mistakes and learn from them. Thats what am doing now.
Happy driving!

How come cannot wear slippers?..When i took my TP, i wore slippers. And i even took them off to drive(more feel). Perhaps they didn't notice...Originally posted by nullifi3d:Don't wear slippers. Dye your hair back to black. Don't appear to beng-ish.

frankly, you must be steady & easy to drive the car la...made the tp feel that you really can handle the car well.....so the chance for passing first time is higher..........i myself can't pass it on first time but second time still ok la...
here is some tip for those who taking tp test....trust or not is up to you la....
1) during test day time.....you will hand over your ic to the test centre..the tp will call out your name.....YOU MUST NOT SEE HIM FACE TO FACE..just answer to him looking somewhere else...
2) inside the car when the tp call you move on..make sure he put on his safety belt.....got friend kenna fail on the spot.....tp say you never take care of him la.....
3) shift all you rear mirror & side mirror....
4) to sit lower a bit..in order to view the rear mirror at all time....
that all about passing the test la.....wish those haven't pass can pass la......cheers -
hmmm... drive & look confident ( as if like u r experience driver )
.... but dun be too cocky and be humble when instructor talks
when u hit some poles or other, ( except pedestrian )
when tester ask u "whether u wan to try again" say yes!!!
if tester never ask you, ask him can u try again then....
gd luck!
