If you are a regular driver and understand the rules here you might pass in first attempt but suggest you take short course if you are new

1) Traffic Signals-Very easy just see the signals in book once

2)'L' in inclined you just don't hit any pole and don't forget there will be a full line in the middle of the inclined surface which you have to stop and proceed

3)Pocket Parking--Estimate correctly don't get confused with the steering check the mirror adjustments before

4)Road Test--check the mirrors,follow the road rules,seat belt,don't over speed know and follow the lanes

Try to observe how people doing it before you !!

there are 4 steps that you must pass one by one.

1. traffic sign test - they say its computerized now.

2. inclined parking

3. pocket parking

4. road test-the policeman is your passenger.

its kinda difficult to pass on 1st try for the reason that in inclined and pocket, there are techniques there that you must execute correctly. like marking on the poles when to do the full turn, arrow on the curve when to do the quarter turn while backing, the position of steering wheel and where the right spot to stop. that if you go for the half course, all that techniques will be teach to you by the instructor.

no short course offered jut to learn those tricks.

good luck!
