What Your Examiner is Expecting

Examiners are people, just like any of us. When you come to be tested, they have expectations from you. Here is an article I wrote about what the examiners are looking for when you come to the test.

Driving Exam Tips - What Will the Examiner Be Looking For During Your Test?

If you are trying to prepare for your driving test, you need to study and learn all the rules of the road. You also need to practice regularly. You need to get comfortable in the driver's seat if you want to pass. Only practice with someone who will not yell at you for making mistakes. This will ruin your confidence and you won't learn anything at all.

At the same time, however, you shouldn't practice with somebody who won't offer you any real advice. Practice with a responsible adult who will explain your mistakes to you and offer advice on how to avoid making them in the future.

So, what do you need to know? Here are just a few ideas of what an examiner will be looking for during test time:

· Whether or not you adjust your seatbelt and mirrors.

· Whether you are holding the steering wheel appropriately.

· How well you start the car and pull out.

· Whether or not you look behind you as you back out.

· If you apply your brakes gently.

· How well you follow signs.

· If you maintain a reasonable amount of space between you and other vehicles.

· Whether or not you always use the appropriate signals (including hand signals).

· If you always go at the proper speed limit.

· Whether you know which lane you're supposed to turn into.

· If you can parallel park correctly, and safely pull out with the appropriate signals.

· If you know how to work the parking lights, parking brake, horn, and all other controls.

· How well you listen to directions.

These pointers are just the basics of what you need to learn. You can find practice checklists online. Print one out and take it with you as you practice. In time, you'll start to get the hang of everything, and you'll have your driver's license before you know it!

You can learn all you need to know for passing by checking out online driving guides. You can also find insider secrets online offered by DMV examiners themselves! There are plenty of resources available to help you become a better driver. Be sure to look over all the tips and secrets so that you can pass your driver's road test!
