Test: 1

Level: 1 (4 levels)

Score: 78% (with aid of textbook+notes)

34 Days left

 

The driving is going better than expected, but there are major flaws that needs fixing. I've chosen to learn to drive stick shift, because it want to be able to drive any kind of car and for some reason I think it's cooler?!... down side it is more to master and I have limited time since I'm working full time.

 

I've started with the theoretical part, it's always a bit of a struggle because I'm a slow starter... I'll DD and stall for hours and days before I get started + when I do my mind wanders easily... For that reason quiz type questions were I learn by answering works better.   I bought a 20 quiz online deal and did the first one today, 70 questions. It took me a good 2 hours and I had the book+notes as help, I scored 55 out of 70... ouch! 

 

November 4th has been booked, I've asked for the day off and paid the fee. There is no going back. I can't waste time regretting how I've chosen to do this, or waste energy with anxiety and fear (like I usually do). It feels hard, but not impossible. Michael Phelps last thought before hitting the water isn't "I might lose". I'm going to earn my driving license a crisp morning early this november, I can feel it in my heart.

Thank you so much for your support and good vibes, it really motivates me to see this through! you rock!

I'm taking the test in sweden, if I take the stick shift test I can drive automatic too (the other way around I only get to drive automatic and have to it all over again). 

J Noland, I need to get back to you on that ;)

I hear that stick shift are more fun to drive too. I'm sending you positive vibes too ~~~~~ (those are positive vibes).

If you don't pass will it be a matter of disappointment and then waiting to re take the test? Or maybe there is a reason that you must pass this test? I am dding right now that you have passed and you are so relieved!

I'm sending positive vibes, prayers, thoughts your way.  I feel like when one of us is successful, we all are.  Any thing we can do to help?  What country are you taking test in?

You can do it!! ^_^ You're also motivating me to get back on my driving. I just renewed my permit to practice some more. One day, I'll be as courageous as you to take the driver's test and finally get my license!
