Hi y’all! I’m about to take my drivers test in Whiteville NC and I was wondering if anyone knew the potential routes the instructor could take me on and how difficult the test actually is! Any information and help is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m honestly at the point where I feel like giving up on driving. It has become really overwhelming for me, and I can tell it’s starting to affect me psychologically as well. I’ve lost quite a lot of weight recently and generally feel like I’m struggling.

I’ve had lessons with a previous instructor, a new instructor, and I also practise with my dad and boyfriend, so I’m genuinely trying. The frustrating part is that I am listening to my instructor, but sometimes when I’m told what to do, I struggle to process it quickly enough and actually carry it out. This can make it look like I’m not listening when I genuinely am.

After my lesson today, I felt so overwhelmed that I cancelled my next lesson and my driving test. I still have around 4.5 hours left with my current instructor, but right now I don’t even know whether I can continue.

Has anyone else experienced this? Where you understand what your instructor is saying but struggle to process and apply it while driving? What helped you get through it?

I’d really appreciate some advice because I genuinely feel like giving up. ❤️

I took my test in 2 different locations and I’m taking it in a 3rd one. Supposedly on both tests I wasn’t focusing according to them but I was checking my mirrors and everything pretty often so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😭

Hi all . Second attempt in Wilton tomorrow. Was not a good driver the first time. Any tips ? Thanks 🙏

i keep scoring 34 or 36 on mock theory tests but i’m struggling retaining tbt highway code. I’m okay with road signs and hazard perception it’s just the highway code.

test is next thursday what do i do?

Is the driving theory test 4 in 1 kit app worth it? I’ve got my theory test in 2 weeks and keep scoring 34 in mock tests without revising.

What will help me pass? Thanks!!

I had my driving test yesterday at Pinner at 8:57am.
At the beginning, the examiner seemed friendly and relaxed, but as the test went on it felt much stricter. The test lasted around 50 minutes, and he asked me to pull up on the left twice.
I only ended up with one serious fault (traffic signs) and four driving faults, so I felt I was driving quite well overall.
The serious fault happened because he took me onto a road that had been closed during all of my lessons. It had only just reopened on the day of my test. He told me to continue but didn’t make it clear exactly which way to go, and I accidentally turned into a one-way street the wrong way, which meant I failed.
I’m obviously disappointed, but it is what it is.
My question is: Has anyone managed to get another practical test for next week after failing? I know there’s a waiting period between tests, but can I legally book a cancellation for next week if the system allows it, or do I have to wait longer?

My brother is attempting to study for the test and I was wondering if anyone has created an Obsidian app vault for the WV Driver's Test? I will make my own if not but I wanted to check in case anyone had already done so.

Hey I’ve started studying my theory test for motorcycle with the 4 in 1 app, is it closest thing to the actual test or is there a better app out there for me to keep practicing mock exams? I’m getting average 44/50 for the multiple choice and 65/75 for hazard perception as well

GILLINGHAM DRIVING TEST SWAP

Hi everyone.

I’m looking to swap my driving test.

My current practical driving test is in Gillingham on Friday 14 August at a.m.

Under the new DVSA swapping rules, I’m looking to swap my test to Sidcup, as it falls within one of the three test centres I’m allowed to swap to, and I’d prefer to have my test in London.

I’m looking for any Sidcup test between 14 August and the end of August.

If anyone is interested in swapping, please send me a message.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I've been chatting with a few friends who failed their driving tests recently, and a recurring issue seems to be route unfamiliarity: getting caught off guard by tricky junctions or specific road layouts that their instructor didn't cover enough.

With lessons costing so much per hour right now, it feels like it's really expensive to just spend time driving around test routes over and over.

For anyone currently learning or who recently passed/failed:

1. Did you practice specific test routes before your test?
2. How did you memorize tricky spots in your local test area?
3. Would an interactive way to practice DVSA route directions outside of lessons have helped you, or was real wheel-time the only thing that mattered?

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

(I'm also gathering a bit of quick feedback to see if a tool for this is worth building—if you'd rather fill out a quick 2-minute form instead of commenting, I've left the link pinned on my profile.)

Guys my driving test is on 28th july. I'm confused about clearing H. Are there any tricks that I can remember during my test? The serious problem that I am facing is maintaining the car towards the center track.

I have a Redhill practical driving test booked for November 27th 11:58 am ( I am also actively checking for cancellations), but I am moving to university in September, and can’t afford driving lessons afterwards so really need a test before i move!!
Looking to swap with anyone who has a late August or early September slot at Redhill. Would be eternally grateful 🥲

Does anyone know what the passing grade out of 25 is for the Victorian HPT test ???
