Well, I took my road test in Berkeley Township, but assuming the test is the same everywhere...

Practice parallel parking. Everyone I knew back in high school who failed, failed on parallel parking. Aside from that, the test is a cake walk. Don't sweat it one bit. Just remember to do all the "required" things like buckle you seatbelt, check the mirror, stop at stop signs, etc.

Don't forget the 3 point turn and check the mirrors occassionally 'cus they may deduct points if you don't appear to do so.

Parallel parking, go the speed limit (which is 15 - weird, I know), and make a full stop at the stop signs. If you do those things, it's very easy.

Stay to your right. Remember this when turning onto what seems to be narrow street that unless marked one way will have two way traffic. Know someone who was doing fine until she turned onto a two way street and assumed it was a one way and went down the left. Instant fail.

Parallel parking can be a PITA but you've got to know it down. Grew up in SI where the thing is almost an alien concept outside of certain areas but...

It does kill me living now in Manhattan seeing some NJ drivers taking ages and multiple attempts at parallel parking with small car into a space you could fit the Titanic.

If you drive past the main building during your test, make sure to yield to any pedestrians who wish to cross the road. My daughter failed her test here for this reason.

I wouldn't worry too much. Just practice everything other posters mentioned. The parallel parking space is pretty big from what I can remember.
