Failed road test again (2nd time)

Many people have test anxiety. The way I overcame mine is simply act like the instructor/examiner is not even there. I know easier said than done, but it works, I have been an instructor and test examiner for years, not in a truck but in the Army, and I can tell you, test anxiety is the same no matter where you are.
Hang in there, you will make it. When I went through Road Master, one of the other students had a tough time passing his driving exam, finally he followed my advice, forgot about the examiner and passed with one error on his PTI.

 

if you miss a gear down shifting do not coast, your right you need to get it back in higher gear then try again, if you coast you fail and if you hit wrong gear you keep on trucking..

 

Can't find it grind it

 

for the purpose of the DMV test you are better lugging the engine then coasting at least your in a gear

 

Try this it worked for me-face the fact that you cannot allow yourself to become nervous. After all, you have a HUGE responsiblity while driving. Just think of the examiner as a trainee you are instructing. You need to show this person the correct way to handle the truck. Would you want a nervous individual showing you how to drive? I think not. Remember you are in control and just relax. You will pass.

 

someone else said it if you have to grind it. Rev the He-- out of it and push it in. its only one point and not an instant fail ! I know it hurts to do it, but the outcome is better

 

Don't feel bad...we're doing a road-test ( as a 3rd party delivery service ( for a MAJOR Oil co ). We were told today we MUST DOUBLE-CLUTCH. If you've ever seen gears on a big-rig trans.....double clutching might help your nerves...but does absolutely nothing to match road-speed w/ gear ratios. Yer pickup...yeah....big truck??? LOL.

 

Sheesh, that's stressing me out
