Found an old post of mine when I was about to sit for TP. These were my notes for parallel parking.
- See the first pole from the rear, full lock to left...
- See second pole appear on right mirror, 2 rounds to the right...
- See first pole in the front, full lock to right...
- Make sure I don't hit the rear poles while reversing...
- Then 1st gear turn left to straighten the wheels...
- Reverse move back to center of parking lot...
- Neutral and hand brake.
- Raise both arms surrender to tester.
- Then 1st gear move to the front again...
- Reverse full lock to the left
- Signal right and 1st gear move out...
- Then pray.was this 2 really necessary? i don't remmeber doing it..hahahaa.. especially the raising of both arms to surrender..

Guess my version has a few flaws, for TS, check out a useful step by step procedure from another forumer from somewhere else.
Quote megaweb:
Position your car so that it is 1 car length ahead and about 1m away of the side.
Turn your head to check the rear for clearance
Signal left
Turn your head to check left, right and then the rear
reverse straight slowly
Reverse until see the first pole from the rear, full lock to left
occassionally turn head to check left and right
Reverse until see second pole appear on right mirror, 2 rounds to the right...
See first pole in the front, full lock to right...
Turn head to check the rear
Make sure I don't hit the rear poles while reversing...
Then 1st gear turn left to straighten the wheels...
Reverse move back to center of parking lot...
Neutral and hand brake.
Raise both arms surrender to tester.
Then 1st gear move to the front again...
Turn your head to check right and the rear for clearance
Reverse slowly with full lock to the left
Signal right and engage 1st gear
Turn your head to check right for blind spot and move off
btw, I am still using the same techniques to park my car but not using pole. Checking safety is important. There is reason to check safety for each step. Check left, right and the rear is not only checking the car, you also need to take note of the pedestrian esp. kids.
Additional tips:
- move off and reverse slowly <-- you need to master the half clutch to get smooth and ready
- do not turn the steering wheel when car is stationary
- always know what you suppose to do next , thus drive confidently
- do not panic when encounter a hazard. If you can proof that you can handle any hazard, there is no reason TP will fail you. __________________ -

keke. on the school car, you have 2 tiny red triangles on the right bottom front windscreen and right top back screen.
it acts as visual aid and its a tool that you can use on when to turn left or right.

lol yeah actually they shouldn't even include the red markings as part of the lesson plan. it screws up the proper way you should learn how to park.

FYI, reverse sensor does not detect poles. My friend learnt it the hard way.

.=sensor
hahahahaha

erm... first attempt 68 points. second attempt 58 points. strike kerb, roll backwards on a slope. and zoomed past these 2 filipino jay walkers.
-
yea. it may help but at the same time screw you up.
Anyway, when you are outside, its all different. and outside, you have more time and less pressure to park. so no worries. can keep going in and out as many times as you want. as long as you got thick skin. hahahaha

raise both arms surrender??
i didnt do that... none in my circle of friends also did that...
soleachip, i think you do that also the tester O_O! -
sometimes the reverse sensor beeps before you're too close to the backwall, so you tend to push it till the beep gets louder and louder then wham! you hit the white wall in the dark. such is life.

soleachip, i think you do that also the tester O_O!no lah just to be funny mah. i guess during that period of time, i felt that i could never afford a car anyway, enjoyed driving so just kept sitting for lessons, act like monkey so there's an excuse to keep going for lessons. kindda silly idea. hehehe...
then during the third attempt, just show up late, drive as if i am going to fail anyway then the tester passed me. i asked him sir, why you pass me??? he screamed and said he can fail me also. if i want i can always come back.

were you feeling too rich or sth?
you do know that after you pass, you can always go back for refresher lessons right? or even rent a car!

same.
jsut show that you are a safe and responsible driver. I stress, safe and responsible, not hum ji driver.
repeat his instructions, like how pilots communicate in the cockpit. What ever he instructs me to do i just repeated verbally.
this will help you alot. If you drive well in the first place.
-
i didn't know i could rent cars mah (P plate) and refresher lessons didn't cross my mind.
sometimes it gets like that, driving becomes very enjoyable you start liking it so much and the freedom that comes along with it. sometimes opt for night lessons just to go for a spin.
after i passed my tp, immediately queue up and ask whether converting to international license (so i can sit for more lessons) need to apply or not.
