I took the road test a handful of years ago in Hastings. It wasn't a closed course, it's real driving on real city streets. There are a few one-ways around the testing area, and they are easy to miss when concentrating heavily on looking good for the instructor. As long as you can park, 90 degree back-in, and read you should be fine... provided its the same road course I took 4 years ago.

Overall, its not very difficult as long as you pay attention to street signs and make complete stops at the 4-way stops in the area.

Good luck.

Not really. I have heard that many people have failed for that reason. You would think that common sense would kick in, but sometimes a stop that one thinks is a good one is not enough for the examiner.

place right arm over seat when backing up looking over shoulder make sure coast is clear so too speak
dont speed
maintain speed when merging with other traffic
turn off cell phone
no radio

other than these there are about one houndred more give or take.
It took me twice before I passed
I went over rr tracks and was failed instantally because there was a train coming way way down there.
Years later when renewing my liscence I had to take the computer test twice because I failed it the first time by getting one or two over the allowed wrong, but it was easy to memorize the correct answers because they were shown to me as soon as I pressed the button for submission.
Good luck
