i got 12 points due to the usual stuff: check of blind spots, failure to make safety check when turning, roll back abit from slope. And eventually mounting the kerb which cause me to fail.

1-2 on road
1-2 on circuit

I passed on my first attempt. Yet I was FREAKIN lucky to be able to pass. Here's why:
I got 14 demerit points. But the main point was, during my test outside on the test route, I encountered merging lanes. Now, my instructor has NEVER asked me to hit the signal when it comes to merging lane. So I went ahead and merged with the other lane without hitting signal. The tester inmmediately said: "Why didn't signal right to warn motorists at the back that you're merging into the right lane?"
I was snooked. But because I don't want to agitate my instructor, I admitted that I'm wrong and carried on. When I'm back at CDC, my tester told me: "Do you know that can be an immediate failure?" I was so sad when he said that. I thought I'm gonna see CDC for a 2nd time. Then suddenly the tester added: "But never mind, I shall close one eye."
Then he started calculating my demerit points and wrote "14" and "passed". I was amazed! He closed one eye on an immediate failure! WTH!
But main point is, has anyone ever encountered an instructor asking you to hit the signal when you come to merging lanes?

Yeah, around Ubi. So did you hit the signal? Did your instructor teach you to hit signal?

He waved at me. But seriously, he is a very good instructor. Many people said so and I personally think so. He probably forgot to tell me about it. -
then juz give the benefit of doubt lah..
anyway, congrats for passing ur test..

perfect for circuit, me!
perfect for entire TP, not me.
but he said... "your driving good. but i give u points somewhere lah ah. -tick tick- okay drive safe!"
2 points for driving in inappropriate gear & 4 for changing lane abruptly.
till now, i dono if the tester give me points because i really wrong or because it just had to look... imperfect.
furthermore test route cut until so short.
