    Have you been smoking three packs a day? If so, you're ready...

    Seriously, where are these hills you're afraid of? On your drive test route?

    I remenber how nervous I was about downshifting on a hill climb the first time. I asked my instructor what I should do if I missed a gear. He replied, "I don't know. ..there's 10 gears. ..just keep shifting until you find one." ;)

    My problem was I was in to high of a gear and if I had just put it in second I would have passed the test on my third try but I didn't. Its no biggie though. although you should have known your test date the first week you were out training. That way it gives you a idea of how much time you have. I think that's pretty bad that they didn't tell you the test date up front.

    Generally the course the route you're driving on in school is the one you take when testing out.
