I know that their is already a thread about this but I wanted some more current information. I will be taking my test in about a month and I want to know what to look for when taking the test. I'm very nervous to take it at the Eagan location, everyone I talk to says that is very hard and to not take it there. Well I am, so I need to know what to do to pass haha.

Its really nothing to get nervous about, its really easy and it goes by very fast. just follow the simple road rules, stop behind the line at the stop signs, i believe they have a uncontrolled intersection where there is no stop signs or lights, all you do is approach the intersection slowly look both ways before entering and just go through slowly.

Start practicing your 90 degree backing in and parallel parking and you should be good to go.

There is a part in the test where you turn right on to a 4 lane one way and you have to get across all lanes and turn left to a 2 way street. Make sure you look and signal for each lane change and that you turn into the proper lane when you turn left. A lot of people fail there. Also, the stop light near the building often changes rapidly and people don't stop in time. Be prepared for a signal change there. I agree about looking at uncontrolled intersections, exaggerate your head turn on those.

I am taking my road test in Eagan in another week or so. My question is to the public, if you could recall hw many one-way streets will I be turning onto? I failed tremendously (3x's) for the same thing, smh. Also, is there any "ONE-Way" sign markings on this course? Please anyone help me out.

Be sure that when you stop at a light or sign that the front bumper of the car is behind the white line. Don't stop so the front wheels are up to the line or they'll mark you down as having crossed it.
