I passed the test today and it was my first attempt at it.  As I said before, I can't agree with the member who started this thread but I do appreciate that everyone has a different experience and our experiences impact on our opinions.

My being a holder of a driver's licence for several years is one contributing factor to me passing the test on the first go but preparing for the test involved me having to unlearn some bad habits and adapting to the rules of driving in Qatar, so that was a bit of a challenge.

 

Of the 70 women who took the test at Al Khebra today only 25 passed.  I must say, thank God the traffic officers conducting the examinations executed their duties professionally, and impartially.

 

As for the criticism of Al Kebra taking advantage of students, I didn't find that the Theory Tutor (Isaac) or my Instructor (Kenneth) were trying to take advantage of me. Both repeatedly gave me good tips to improve my driving and to pass the test.  If you listen, learn and apply what you learn you will pass.

I pride myself in giving credit where it is due and you can see from my previous posts I will strongly criticise.  I don't know what the other driving schools here are like but I was very satisfied with Al Khebra and I WOULD RECOMMEND THE DRIVING SCHOOL and I still suggest that someone speak to that INSOLENT, ILL MANNERED supervisor in the cabin, he is a real turn off.
