So I just passed my first time at Arden!!!! Watching this video a couple times definitely helped. What I did good: -perfect parallel -good 90 backing -good speed (20-25mph) -good observation (looking when crossing intersections and lane changing) -use turn signals everywhere!! Even when turning out of parallel and 90 backing. What I messed up on: -try to make sure you stay in the unmarked lanes correctly. The roads all seem to have faded lines so even the yellow line separating traffic is hard to see. The roads are all 4 lane, so make sure you’re not driving in the center of the road. -when you turn into the one way road with the turning signs, make sure you turn into the FIRST lane of whatever side you come from. The second lane if there is a car parked in the first. You got it !! I was so nervous, but I still passed. I even watched a girl that went before me who failed parallel, like she couldn’t even get in, I don’t know how the rest went, but she passed too!! You don’t need to be perfect in everything to pass !
I think you had a generous instructor, I keep on going on the wrong side of the 'residential' roads twice now after a turn because they are too wide to be real and I forget to hug the curb
I just passed at Arden Hills!!! This was my 4th time taking the test and this video helped so much. Thank you so much for posting it, it literally saved my life! For anyone taking the test, as long as you remember what he says in this video you’ll be ok. Really pay attention to the one way left turns, that’s what messed me up all the times before. As long as you’re calm and confident then you’ll be ok! Don’t be nervous about parking, just take your time! The instructors let you readjust, so don’t worry if it’s not perfect. Be calm and confident and you’ll pass! Good luck to everyone!!
I think another common mistake that people have while taking it at a closed course is knowing the right of way, especially at uncontrolled intersections. So if you're on the one way when you approach that big intersection, the two way has the right of way since they're the bigger traffic. And if you see oncoming cars, just yield to them and proceed when the coast is clear.
i was on the two way in the middle lane and someone was on the far side of the one way turning right, and my examiner forced a stop because “I was almost about to be in a accident”
I have my test tomorrow also. I have driven for many years but due to a bad back Injury I didn’t drive for about 10 years now. I just wanted to add one thing that I remembered people screwed up on usually if it’s one of the first turns. Your nervous when they tell you ok stop and take a right. MAKE SURE that you double check for a NO TURN ON 🛑 RED sign. People say I stopped like they asked and turned right. That’s where they get you sometimes. It’s an automatic FAIL….. thanks for making this video for people that was Very Thoughtful of you!!!
I recently failed my test her but then passed a week later in faribault Couple things to look out for -semis are parked up and down the roads so make sure you turn into the closest safe lane -Make sure you are turning into the correct lane into the one way and the correct lane turning off of the one way -the parallel park isn’t too difficult if you’ve practiced -the 90° back in can be tricky if you aren’t in the right lane to do so but you are allowed to readjust so just take your time -the “stoplight” that they have in the course switches from a normal stoplight, to a flashing red stoplight/stopsign, and a flashing yellow which means you need to yield Where i failed was turning from the right lane onto a two way-one lane street that was unmarked, don’t make the same mistake i did and you should be fine, good luck to all those taking the test and try and calm your nerves before the test
failed here passed in faribault. i don’t have a preference open or closed course. watch the videos they jaleo a ton. i failed on an automatic fail turning left in a unmarked right turn lane. i knew what to do i was just stressed. honestly don’t stress and you’ll pass it’s not hard. i practiced my parking for 2 hrs the night before and did fine. it stinks to fail but it really does not matter and nobody cares so don’t feel pressured. you got this!
I love that you mention after the 90° back turn. Come back out and signal. Watched 3 other videos and they don’t mention that at all!!! Every point counts
Went today and did the mistake of lane changing from one way...Going back next week and I hope to pass... Thank you for the nice video it is so informative.
Passed my test today here first try . shi I can say to much stress outta ma head Tips - y’all need to move yo heads 24/7 even when turning right from right - Know the mechanics of the pakings. U will do fine if u watched the videos how to 90° and parallel SIGNAL when getting out. and I’m sure y’all know how to uphill/downhill . For the uphill park I went over the curb to have enough space, I don’t think they care if u over the curb. - U and the examiner need to be in a positive vibe, so keep it 💯 - Signal every time u change lane and turn. - And lastly turn yo neck left/right, over the shoulder, every time in intersection - I think looking around is the most important thing to them then the parkings - The test wasn’t even that much long as the videos. Mine was like 8-10 min. It was super quick.
i have also heard to exaggerate your head movements because the examiner would have missed it cuz i had a friend recently fail because of this very reason
Thank you! I will be having my test in July and I’m studying the place and road so when I get in there it’s not new to me and I have an idea about the lanes.
Thank you. I'm super stressed about my test, even though I haven't scheduled it yet. I'm 18 years old and I still don't have my license, due to health reasons, but I need to get it if I get a job
so my car as a camera at the back and i can see where the cones are during parallel and 90 parking. makes life so much easier and i've just been practicing with that cheat. but is it required to look over the shoulder during the actual road test as you reverse into the space? or is it fine as long as you get it in the spot and don't hit the cones?
if you're on the one way when you approach that big intersection, the two way has the right of way since they're the bigger traffic. And if you see oncoming cars, just yield to them and proceed when the coast is clear.
Hey, a tip if you want to take the test sooner than that, check back online ALL THE TIME to catch appointments opening up from cancellations! I failed my first test at the beginning of oct, and within two days of checking back online all throughout the day, I was able to catch an opening for just a couple after that.
You shouldn't be stopping in each lane. You should be constantly moving, looking, and signalling to cross. Things might change, but the last time my father signal once and cut across three lanes, he failed.
Took my test twice at arden. I will tell you this, watching this video will DEFINITELY help you! First time- (FAIL) Good: -90 degree back in -right turns -SMOG *important* -keep good observation (They look closely!!) -speed (20-25) Bad: -Be aware of your surroundings they may try to trick you! (They tricked me on a left turn which caused for an automatic fail) -Poor parallel parking Second time- (PASS) : I did everything well, be sure to stay observant, stay at a low speed, look at the signs, and dont worry, for parking you get MUCH more space then you think!! Although, in parallel parking I got in between the cones but went over the curb, i corrected it after i messed up and still passed! you dont need to be great at everything, they are just looking for confidence in what you're doing and want for you to follow the laws. goodluck!
Often drivers failed because they did not yield to the two ways or look. Uncontrolled intersection doesn't have any traffic control systems so being careful, look and yield if needed to is a must.
When you try to move to another lane then you should signal every time, to change lane. When you're in a lane to turn the corner then it should also be on because you will be turning at the corner.
I made one of the common mistakes, the left turn into the wrong lane. Still passed though bc that was the only mistake I made. Worst thing was that I JUST watched this video before leaving to take the test haha. It's all good though!
Im taking the test Novemeber 2nd wish me luck guys! not allot of people pass areden first time but lets see how it goes (i currently suck at parking) But lets hope i get a nice insrutctor ^.^
Update: Passed first try i forgot my drivers log so ill be having to go back with it to get my liscnese! i got a black hair instructor with pircings they were really nice i got enough to pass didnt even have to parallel park :)
@@TDangPhysicsFoodFamilyFun i had an to stop my test because i went into an uncontrolled intersection when another car was coming and i don’t see it so i failed

I passed my first time at Arden! This video is SUPER helpful so just be aware of your surroundings and be cautious, and you'll do just fine!!
Any specific parts you had to look out for? (If the video didn't mention it at all?)
my test is tmr i’m so glad i found this
how’d it go?any tips?
Mine is tomorrow and I’m nervous as SHÍT! Any tips?

“Bam to the left” “BAD” Lmaoo this helped me a lot!!!
This was super helpful, especially how you explained the one ways! I passed my test last week after I watched this
took my first test today and passed thanks to this video.

I recently failed my test her but then passed a week later in faribault
Couple things to look out for
-semis are parked up and down the roads so make sure you turn into the closest safe lane
-Make sure you are turning into the correct lane into the one way and the correct lane turning off of the one way
-the parallel park isn’t too difficult if you’ve practiced
-the 90° back in can be tricky if you aren’t in the right lane to do so but you are allowed to readjust so just take your time
-the “stoplight” that they have in the course switches from a normal stoplight, to a flashing red stoplight/stopsign, and a flashing yellow which means you need to yield
Where i failed was turning from the right lane onto a two way-one lane street that was unmarked, don’t make the same mistake i did and you should be fine, good luck to all those taking the test and try and calm your nerves before the test
Do you have any tips for the faribault test? Taking it in a couple weeks, anything helps.
Just passed couldn't have done it without this video
This video is spot on! My son passed first time! Thanks so much. Your tips and tricks are fantastic! Well done!

Vehicles equipped with back- up cameras are allowed during the test but should not be the only method of observation when backing up.
Thank you so much
Taking my test for the fourth time in about a week...second time at Arden. I think I got it this time. Wish me luck
good luck!
did you pass
THANK YOU! my test is this thursday im so nervous lol
Good luck!!
me too i’m so scared
My test is in three days, I will come back to tell you whether I passed or not. But this does seem really helpful, really calms my nerves
so did you pass? lol
Howd it go, man?
Did you pass?
How do you treat the uncontrolled intersections? I’ve seen videos with them having lights too?
if you're on the one way when you approach that big intersection, the two way has the right of way since they're the bigger traffic. And if you see oncoming cars, just yield to them and proceed when the coast is clear.
Does anyone know how big the parallel parking is ?
I got mine Jan. 20th so I have A LONG TIME to practice before hand. Thanks for the video!
Hey, a tip if you want to take the test sooner than that, check back online ALL THE TIME to catch appointments opening up from cancellations! I failed my first test at the beginning of oct, and within two days of checking back online all throughout the day, I was able to catch an opening for just a couple after that.
Update: PASSED!
My test is tomorrow here at 9:20 am and I’m very nervous and I hope that I don’t mess up on parallel🙏🏾🙏🏾
How'd it go?
My driving instructor for behind the wheel told me to just get to the left don’t stop in each lane when getting from right to left
You shouldn't be stopping in each lane. You should be constantly moving, looking, and signalling to cross. Things might change, but the last time my father signal once and cut across three lanes, he failed.
Took my test twice at arden. I will tell you this, watching this video will DEFINITELY help you!
First time- (FAIL)

-SMOG *important*
-keep good observation (They look closely!!)
-speed (20-25)

How was your test? And was it similar to this video? Also did you turn left or right at the start?

Taking my test this Wednesday, wish me luck
Good luck!!

Girl omg I have mine on the 5th I’m so nervous I needed this video so bad
i have my test on wednesday so can someone give me tips and info it’s on my 16th birthday so failing would be sad
Recommended speed for the uncontrolled intersection? My daughter just failed due to that -not sure if there is a recommended speed\
Often drivers failed because they did not yield to the two ways or look. Uncontrolled intersection doesn't have any traffic control systems so being careful, look and yield if needed to is a must.
Is it okay not to turn my signal off when moving in to the other lane at 4 lanes. 6:45?
When you try to move to another lane then you should signal every time, to change lane. When you're in a lane to turn the corner then it should also be on because you will be turning at the corner.
I just took my drivers test in Duluth and failed because I went 5 over the speed limit. I’m taking it again here, hopefully I pass!
You got this!
What is the speed limit?
I have my test next Tuesday. I'm really bad at parking but I think I'll ace the rest so I'm crossing my fingers
good luck
Can you do walk-ins anymore genuinely curious?
It might be different now but as far as I know. Yes, however, the line starts around 3am.
Thanks man I passed !!
