Generally, practicing for about three weeks is sufficient to take the test. Detailed explanation: A more accurate measure is based on the number of practice sessions, specifically 12-15 hours of hands-on driving practice, before being ready for the test. These 15 hours, spread out over each day, typically amount to around three weeks. It is recommended to take practice seriously, master all the techniques taught by the instructor, and stay relaxed during the test. Maintain steady speed, control the clutch properly, ensure parallel alignment when reversing, and turn the steering wheel quickly to prevent the car from crossing the line. Additional tips: For the hill start, find and maintain a 30cm distance from the side line before ascending, keep the car aligned, and slowly release the clutch while paying attention to the vehicle's vibration. Gently release the brake to prevent stalling. For parallel parking, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way when you see the corner of the parking space—do not hesitate, turn immediately when you reach the point.
Officially, you're required to complete 70 training hours before you can schedule the driving test, but actual implementation varies by region. I just researched this for my daughter last month and found that the real training duration depends on your aptitude and the coach's arrangement. Some quick-learning youngsters can master it in two weeks, while those with poorer spatial awareness might need a month. The key is to thoroughly practice difficult maneuvers like parallel parking and hill starts. Our driving school instructor recommends being able to complete all test items flawlessly five times consecutively before signing up, as test slots are quite competitive nowadays - you don't want to waste your chance.
