I have a driving test at the Redwood DMV in about a week, does anyone who has the taken the test recently (recently being like in the past six months or so, but also i wont be picky about advice) have any tips? where to practice?

I‘ve driven around Redwood City and feel ok on the bigger roads, but the downtown is still a bit scary for me (so many people walking around!) I heard that the downtown isn’t a large portion of the test, but I don’t know if that information is up to date. the neighborhoods are mostly ok, but I think that might have been because I went to practice in a non-busy time…

Also, how many times did you practice a driving route before the test? I looked online and I found many (like 24 on a website :0) and don’t know if I should commit the time to be driving all of them. (and if you only practiced one route and passed, what was the route?)

another question, my test is at 10 am in the morning, how early should I get there in order to practice a bit? An hour, two hours earlier?

and if anyone wants to share stories about how they passed or even conversation topics to ask the tester (i heard it was good to strike up conversation? maybe?) please add a comment below!

hi! I’ve already emailed the email on the website these questions, but I wasn’t sure if I would get a response since I haven’t been getting any emails from the music center after I submitted a request to use the practice rooms so I’ll just add the questions here.

1. how long does it take for the center to process a request ? I’ve submitted a request three days ago (2 business days) and haven’t gotten a response back. Is this normal?

2. On the site it says the general practice rooms will remain open through the end of week 4. Does this mean I won’t be able to access these rooms week 4 and beyond?

hi js what the title says idk anyone else thats going and im pretty sure other highschoolers are going so js wanted to see if any of them were on Reddit. (also if you’ve gone before, how was it?)
