Picking up Driving - What are my choices?
-
Basically, I'm a 18yr old, planning to take up driving licence, hopefully to clear by Jan 2008.
But I'm rather lost in deciding on where to learn my driving. Haven't even take my BTT yet, but have fully read the BTT booklet.
Can any seniors here please advise me? Thanks in advance. -
woah jan 2008 might be abit too rush.
i suggest sch ba.seems faster. -
How much will it cost?Originally posted by stellazio:woah jan 2008 might be abit too rush.

How's the one over at Yio Chu Kang? As I stays in Seng Kang, my choices is rather limited.
Ps: Initial target was Nov. But I know it's impossible -
Only way for you to get license by January is to join a driving school. But even then at SSDC the earliest time you can get your PDL is in mid-August if you enrol now. And considering the fact that you need to pass your FTT before booking your TP, the earliest you can get your license is probably around Feb/Mar 08.
For me I enrolled in Jan 07, passed BTT in Feb 07, passed FTT in Mar 07, got a TP test date in August but managed to find a date in early July. Now graduated from SSDC already.
About 6-7 months from enrol to getting your license, provided you pass everything the first time. -
From the history of driving school... a person took 2 mths to pass everything..
which he chiong his TP lesson almost everyday.. (thats history thou.. i tink u cant book more than 2-3 lessons a day i tink..)
provided u camp in the website to book for cancelled slots of TP test date..

1.2k shld be for pte...
for school.. at least 1.6k+++ is needed -
Now impossible already.. SSDC slots super hard to get nowadays unless you book like 2 weeks in advance. Not like when I was learning where there were slots available on the day of booking itself..Originally posted by paperx:From the history of driving school... a person took 2 mths to pass everything..

Lucky chap, managed to get an earlier TP slot. -
School MAY NOT be faster. I've a friend who took 2-4 years to complete, and they wasted alot of money. I took private, and finished in about 1 year 2months. I spent only about $1100. It doesn't mean joining a school will be easier to pass.
-
school gives you higher chance of passing, that's why it may be faster. i enrolled in end jan 05 and got my licence by may 05. ssdc for you would be nearer.
and if u're a girl, better wear mini-skirt during test. oops i believe it's politically incorrect to say this. -
I enrolled mid Jan 07, got my PDL mid Feb 07, got my QDL in mid July 07. Not bad hor.
-
nobody said enrolling sch is easier to pass.. pte and sch are the same... its only that sch candidate are able to get earlier test date.. which pte dont.. usually pte will be allocated 4 mths away test date whereas sch is allocated 2-3 mths away or even earlier..Originally posted by selfobliged:School MAY NOT be faster.

I'm still considering between SSDC and Comfort right now. Actually, to take my BTT, I've to go to which centre ?
1 more point. Heard from my teacher that there's a 'Guaranteed Pass' course. Is there something like that? -
check this policx website and compare the passing rate

Personally, I would recommend signing up for training with one of the training centers. I got my license learning from Kaki Bukit driving center.Originally posted by photo_seeker:Basically, I'm a 18yr old, planning to take up driving licence, hopefully to clear by Jan 2008.

Many trainers rotate to give you different tips and enhance your skills fast.
I have not tried private trainers. My friend passed learning from his Private instructor. also no problem. Depends on trainer.
So, its up to your preference. -
