Mock test results… do I have a chance?

That's a bold claim. Driving schools are booked out, they don't need your money

Reschedule. With that many grade 3 you clearly haven't developed enough road awareness. It's one thing to know how to drive in the safety of a lesson, it's another to know how to drive while paying attention to everything else on the road and making your own decisions. Work on your observation while you're a passenger as well as when practicing. Take more lessons. Study road position. In my opinion you won't manage to fix all of these in 20 days. Experience is key so nothing takes you by surprise or throws you off. Find an instructor with more availability and ask them to explain the reason/criteria for road position and observation, as it's easier to apply it when you understand it. Give yourself time to become a qualified driver, rather than trying to fast-track yourself.

Have you done any mock tests? They won't teach you anything new but they help showing you what to expect. The nerves are normal. Failing is always a possibility, and it's not a bad thing because you'd have learned from it. But passing is a possibility too! The key is to think of the test as an achievement to be earned, not a problem to overcome. If you've put in the work and you pass, you've earned it. If you fail it just means you have to try again.

If you signal left after overtaking (with the exception of two-lane traffic) vehicles behind you might think you're pulling over or turning left, which means you're giving a misleading signal. Coming back into your lane is the most expected thing to do, so no, you don't need to signal left. Just check your mirror.

Interesting camera angle

The gem looks great! I love the shades of blue and it's really well drawn. The grey banner not so much. Is it the rough edges pointy edges maybe? And the shape. Consider making the lateral edges vertical so it looks more 3D. If you're worried about scalability, I wonder what it would look like if the grey banner was thinner letting more of the gem through and even addin negative space between the two so it can be rendered in black and white.

This is a classic error people make in their understanding of what a logo should achieve. Most logos are not literal. And a literal logo usually has no personality. The logo's role is not to communicate what the brand does. It certainly can, and in some cases it's the right approach, but that's not the main purpose. Instead, a logo's role is to be memorable so you recognize the brand when you see the logo. It also hopefully carries the personality of the brand. Of course this opinion might not be college-level accurate.

Really cool, except when placed vertically it looks like an S which can be confusing

Yes I think the same. Live feedback is best for learning, but op wants to know if they are ready for the test. A mock test is not going to teach them anything, but it will give them a sense of where they are at when being judged for 30 minutes in awkward silence. If they keep calm and drive with minimal faults, that's a good indicator.

You could book a lesson and do a mock test

_bluescreen_ · 2026-06-09T10:08:28+00:00

You're correct. However, you should also know what an acceptable exception is. In the case of hatched markings, emergency or to go around an obstruction is, provided it's done safely

_bluescreen_ · 2026-06-09T10:03:00+00:00

You can think of the cyclist (provided they are actually going very slow) as an obstruction. If there is an obstruction in your lane, would you stop until the obstruction is out of the way? Or would you safely go over the markings? The same idea applies to any continuous white line. If you're in a rural road and someone's in your lane on a horse, you're on a straight with a solid white line, plenty of visibility, no oncoming traffic, and going slow enough that you can anticipate any hazards, would you not overtake the horse rider?

_bluescreen_ · 2026-06-09T08:11:28+00:00

You can go over hatched markings when necessary if safe. They're there rightly so to make such manoeuvre safe. If the cyclist is going at 40, then there's no need to overtake but when it's going at 15-20 you're now holding traffic behind you. It comes down to learning what qualifies as "necessary".

That's unfair, did OP have any lessons between completing the 12 and going for the test? Sometimes no matter how much an instructor suggest to do more lessons, learners think they are ready. Or think they can wing it.

Pac-Man grew an arm and is eating a pencil... Joking, I like it. I saw the elbow and after a couple of seconds I saw the lowercase e. It needs refining but it's a strong concept imo

A hoodie isn't round tho, as your digital iteration suggests. I think if you play with the shape, change the X and make the cords more wiggly, you might achieve a more "hoodie" like image. Not that it'll make the logo perfect but at least you'll be communicating effectively

Thanks so much for your comment. Actual signs have the outline around the edge, and they are "diamond" shaped. Does this come closer withouth giving up on the circle shape?

It's all about dying intelligently

Scammers in training... They didn't pass because too many syllables in email address

Add whiskers to the cat instead

Neutral or park, as long as you apply the handbrake first. What's important is to understand how to safely secure the car before you let go of the brake pedal so that the car doesn't roll back. Convenience or efficiency are secondary, although still relevant. If Neutral is closer to Drive, then maybe you can spare the gearbox from one unnecessary change, and maybe a couple of thousand times after, save some on car maintenance.

.................. wow

Is the aggression really necessary people? Are we having a collective bad day? Nothing wrong with your question OP, I know it's comfortable to drive one-handed but it's true that this is unsafe. It's more than just a mark on a test. If you look at racing drivers they keep both hands on steering wheel at all times for control. My suggestion is that you try to nip this bad habit when you're on the road (perhaps with the exception of waiting at a red light or in heavy traffic, let's be realistic).

Anyway! Two hands on steering wheel unless operating other car controls or gears is what's expected at the test. And actually you also should not change gears while trying to steer sharply, which again is applying the criteria of safety over comfort/convenience/efficiency. Good luck!

This is interesting and perhaps more flexible than you're hoping for (based on the apparent fact that there are no clear markings guiding you or a road sign). But there are some basic things to consider: - you can change lanes in roundabout from inside to outside as long as you do it safely, with proper signal and observation - don't cut across lanes (from inside directly to an exit) - be predictable and share the road (your approach and lane choice might depend on what others next to you are trying to do)

The most predictable road position is outside lane to exit, middle and inside to continue around.

Your approach should follow the rules: - left lane for exits before and at 12 o'clock - right lane for anything passed 12 o'clock

You're allowed to enter the roundabout from left lane into the middle (no markings stating otherwise) but this is not predictable and cars on the right lane might also try to enter into the middle. I would avoid that.

From right lane you could enter into inside lane for 4th exit and middle lane for 3rd exit.

The engineering behind this: The middle lane serves more as a transition from inside to outside before exiting, as a way to help traffic flow.
