Road Test Anxiety Questions

Edit: thanks to everyone for replying even the ones saying I shouslnt be on the road. It was anxiety talking here. I passed with a 92/100. Evaluator's only note was that I "didn't close the door on right hand turns- but that it's mostly a safety thing going forward."

And now for another timeless classic: a road test question.

Or rather a series of questions from overthinking the road test...

My exam is tomorrow morning in Laval and I took a road test prep lesson and all, but when riding in Laval today I started overthinking every little thing I do and id appreciate some clarity.

Any other tips would be welcome too... Thanks y'all... And sorry for posting yet another road test post

Questions:

1- should right on reds be considered stop signs where you stop and so your checks even if you're behind a car that just went?

2- when going for a right turn, when do you go into the center of the lane exactly? And do you do so even if there is a car in front of you?

3- on a green light where you have to turn, do you check your blind spot before committing to the turn without stopping?

4- when at a red to green light, if you are behind other cars who start going through the light, do you have to do the left-right-left check or just follow along?

5- parking lots. Where do you absolutely have to stop aside from stop signs or when going onto a road?

6- should all yields aside from highway/service road be considered more or less a stop sign?

7- if there is room for you to move around or squeeze through with a wide margin of error, can you do so or should you wait? Ex: a channelized right turn where there is about half a car to a car length open, can you go through?

8- lane switching. I know the 5 car length rule but what about in situations where that isn't possible? Do you still make the switch?

9- if I'm told to turn or change lanes but there isn't enough room to do it safely or according to the spacing rules, should I continue straight and wait for another instruction?
