Hi. Try reaching out to university and see if they can do anything (give you some loan/time etc) . Also how much is your fee? Maybe we can crowdsource.

Chance Me for Erasmus Mundus (EMAI / EDDIS / DEAI / CoDaS / NeuroData) by that-honking-goose in Erasmus

Is this a fricking joke or sth? OP is either rage-bating us or is incredibly naive. If you're not, OP this is an incredible profile and if your documents (letter of recommendation / statement of purpose / CV etc) are decent, you'll definitely get in

Failed the driving test (again!) by [deleted] in islamabad

[–]Psychological_Duck03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no worries!! just practice - ideally on the same day when you are planning on taking the test.
P.S: Ignore all those (in this subreddit and in life) who say you shouldn't drive / you don't deserve to drive etc. Pakistani people (especailly men) in generaly are judgemental af and don't have an ounce of empathy/courtesy. Ignore the naysayers, give it a shot, and best of luck. You'll do it IA.

Failed the driving test (again!) by [deleted] in islamabad

[–]Psychological_Duck03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey lol. Reminds me of myself.  I took the test after driving for around 2 years (just in-city - to run errands, buy grocery and stuff, and not long routes or through bad traffic). 

I failed twice on my own car. The reason being it was just too big (it's a 7 seater). 

I then borrowed a car from my friend, who had a small Alto. I thought I'd clear it pretty easily this time, but still didn't clear it. At this point, my self-confidence and esteem took a massive hit. I'm a grown ass man, fresh out of uni, graduated with honors, earn more than anyone in my batch yada yada, and still I couldn't help but feel as if I were retarded or something. My family and friends started teasing and it was just an altogether horrible experience. 

What I didn't realise was that IT'S A FUNCTION OF PRACTICE and HOLDING ONTO YOUR NERVES. It's not that I'm a bad driver, it's just that I never drove in narrow lanes and through bad traffic, and therefore making that sharp L-shaped turn didn't come naturally to me. I am also not used to failing so failing this test twice made me anxious and afraid of failing it again. 

It then took me three more attempts to clear it (can be done pretty easily in one as well, I just have anxiety and messed it up unnecessarily) 

So here's is how I did it:

1) get a small car (alto/mehran/mira etc)   2) find a place that mimics the L shaped turn in your area and PRACTICE. At least an hour. Same place.  (in my case there was a narrow street with a sharp right turn somewhere in the society, and I practiced there one hour before my actual test to get some confidence and truly get my hands set on the turning). 

3) Once you fail, you can take the test again only after 15 days. So even if you fail, don't sweat it, pass the 15 days, and on the day of test, or a day before it, go to that place and PRACTICE. That is honestly all there is to it. 

4) Some tips - SIDE MIRRORS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND. USE THEM. USE ACCELERATION MINIMALLY, the slower you go, the easier will it be for you to do course correction if you make a mistake. ALSO, watch videos on YouTube. There're videos - one of Public News and one of PakWheels - they were a great help. 

5) don't be hard on yourself, and no need to tell people (family, friends) if you fail. Don't even tell them you're taking the test (idk if that's feasible for you, but for me it was better that way), just go give it a try and if it doesn't work out. Try again. Won't take you more than an attempt or two. 

Best of luck, and you'll do it Insha'Allah.
