total 40mins: 20mins in circuit, 20mins on road.
be polite, be courteous, be a "yes man"...
always listen to tester, he can alter the test route anytime...
some pple can just jalan 1 circle outside the driving school, then drove back into the school liao... and they passed 1...
just be very zai in circuit, best is 0 point in circuit...
n break stop at traffic junctions very smoothly... dont jerk the car...
just pls book the off-peak test time, easier to pass... e.g. no bus lane hours, morning n evening rush hours...more tips, go here: http://www.sgforums.com/forums/2

I only pass on my second test because I do no know what is the tester expectations. But I can tell you my major mistakes.
Stop on predestian crossing -10 demerit points
I was at a controlled cross junction, instruction is to turn left.
So I signal left, keep left, slow down, go into filter lane, look-out for predestians, check blind spot, no pedestian so I proceed, vehicles moving in major road, so I stopped the car just behind give way line to wait for my chance to move off..... and thats it, I got 10 demerit points just because the back of the car is on the pedestian crossing... there is totally no pedestians at all.
I am suppose to wait behind the pedestian crossing while waiting for the vehicles on the major road to clear off. (I wonder how a vehicle driver behind me will feel if I stop behind a pedestian crossing in a left turn filter lane when there is no pedestian.)
Next,
Cause other vehicle to slow down or take evasive action. - 8 demerit points.
I was driving on a 3 lane road. I was on the center lane. I signal left, with intention to move into the left lane.There is car following closely behind me (center lane), I check the left lane is clear, so start to move my vehicle towards left. Unfortunately, the vehichle behind me also tried to move to the left lane together with me at the same time. Since the vehicle behind me is accelerating (probably want to overtake me from the left), the driver has to press brake to avoid hitting my back while I carry on moving leftwards.... again is my fault.... The tester said I am wrong because I am suppose to leave 1 vehicle length gap from the car behind before doing the lane change. Then the car behind me sped off in the center lane(heading straight).
After the test, I keep thinking that the driver behind me could/should have either stay in the center lane or just overtake me from the right.... but why left.. sigh... I just blamed it on bad luck.
Anyway, I passed my second test, it went smoothly. No vehicles followed me closely or tried to overtake me from the left. Left turn filter lane, no pedestians, no oncoming vehicle just slow down, double check and move off to major road without stopping.
Tip: My first test is a weekday morning, my second test is on a Saturday morning.

which parking??
if the lot is a rectangular lot with its length along your car, then it's parallel parking.
if the lot is a rectangular lot with its breadth along your car, then it's vertical parking. -

Your instructor is right. But I think most instructiors never mention is 10 demerit points to stop on pedestian crossing. Everyday, I see vehicles stopping on predestian crossing... to normal drivers, its nothing wrong but to a Traffic Police, its a major mistake.

The tester will give instructions so dont need to worry about the routes too much.
