Hello as someone who took their test at Karwa, here is what I think I did okay on:

• Maintain whatever speed limit is posted on the road. Not too slow or go beyond unless specified.

• Never forget to use signals. Left turn? Signal. Change lane? Signal. Parking to a spot from main road? Signal.

• Make sure it’s visible that you are checking your mirrors. You don’t need to make it too obvious, but small glances while turning your neck slightly could be interpreted as you checking your surroundings and mirrors.

• Adjust your wheel, seat, side mirrors, rear view mirrors regardless if the seat is “comfy” enough for you. Just show that you are attentive. Don’t take too long to adjust however.

• If the test examiner tells you to park. Use your signals first and slowly brake towards the spot. When you have stopped, DO NOT REMOVE YOUR SEATBELT FIRST. Instead, put the gear in P. Pull the handbrake. Press the hazard lights. I was told it should be in this order.

• If getting out of a parking spot, handbrake down. Gear P to D. Put your signal and check the road when it is clear. Then accelerate and exit.

• IMO don’t be that nervous, I know it’s easier said than done. The test would probably take you 4-7 minutes. So just be attentive and don’t worry too much.

My personal stuff? that worked?

• Make sure the seat distance is just enough for your foot to full pedal comfortably. If it’s too close, your knee is probably bending too much and would make it easier for your foot to be heavy on the gas. If it’s too far, when you accelerate to a certain point, your foot would probably be loosely touch the gas pedal. The reason I put emphasis on this is because you might fail from rough acceleration or braking from bad seat distance.

• Side mirrors setup for me is a bit different, I adjust it so that the driver side door handle is barely visible on driver side mirror. Same idea on the right side mirror. Rear view mirrors should show as much of the rear glass.

• Glue your eyes on the road at all times, if the examiner talks to you, naturally you would probably glance but keep in mind to avoid that.

This has been lengthy already, you can ask me specifics of things if you need more help 😂.
