i passed today everyone!!! it's super easy this video is awesome just stay calm .. breathe .. and go in with the mindset that you WILL pass you will NOT fail! good luck everyone you got this! thank you again for this video i watched it last night!!
@@jackspicer7709 When the front of your vehicle where your lights are in the front of your vehicle lines up with the first set of cones that you see pulling up, make sure you turn in ASAP! Also check your mirrors to make sure you don’t hit any cones and as always take your time! You will have 3 minutes to do the maneuver. You got this!
@@jackspicer7709 once you see that cone hit the middle of your passenger side window start pulling in! take your time don't rush hit your break if you need to , once you get close to the cone start to straighten your wheel!
I have a question, before the whole parking thing don’t they inspect the car and ask about blinkers and stuff? If so what are the ones I would need to know because I feel they will ask for the 1 thing I don’t remember
I passed my exam last month on February 24th , 2022. It feels very good to get my drivers license! The test is still the same & if you Keep watching this video many times , you’re gonna be good. Just remember to take ya time , they give you 3 minutes for each exercise & you will pass! Don’t try to rush it , go at your own pace! I pray & hope everyone who reads this comment passes there test & achieve a drivers license ! 🙏🏽god bless you all
@@yandhimontero1121 I don’t have a backup camera but my friends that took the test do. They did look at their back up cameras very subtly once and a while but they didn’t get failed because of it. So I would say technically you can’t but if they are there and you happen to look at them it’s okay
I passed today in Beltsville. As of Nov. 23, 2021, the test was exactly like this. I highly recommend driving up to the MVA location a few times before taking it and observing the test being conducted. At the Beltsville location you can conveniently watch from the parking lot. What's on the test: You drive out to either the A or B course and wait for the instructor. The proctor first will tell you to pull in nose first into the parking space. It was a right turn on both courses at Beltsville. You have 3 minutes to pull in to the right with signals all the way in, don't hit any cones, straighten the wheel, put the car in park. Next, the proctor will tell you to reverse out of the parking spot and to reset to the original position. Be careful backing out as there was an artificial curb that extended about 1.5 feet past the first set of cones. Once you've gotten out of the space, you can pull forward if necessary to straighten the car before reversing straight backwards to the original position, it may be too cramped otherwise. Now you'll need to reverse park (backing into the space tail first). From the starting position, the instructor told me to pull straight forward. On a previous attempt, I tried to move over to the right a bit to get closer to the cones and angle my front to the left by pulling forward. You can't do that, I guess. SO. You have 3 minutes to pull forward from the starting position past the line of cones on the left edge of the parking spot. Shift into reverse and use your signal. Go slow and begin to turn the wheel to move your car's rear to get between the two lines of cones. Go slow at first if necessary and remember to use your right mirror as a gauge, and that you can turn the wheel left or right in reverse to better adjust your angle, which is why it's good to go slow, so you have time to judge and adjust the angle before you get too close. You also can pull forward to straighten the car before backing in if necessary. Now you've backed in to the parking space. Put the car in park. Now you'll need to pull to the right out of the parking spot. Shift into drive, put on your right turn signal and pull out of the space. Once you've gotten out of the space, turn to the right and stop at the stop sign. Next is the three point turn, which you also have 3 minutes to complete. A few feet from the stop sign is the three point turn space. For reference, it is a section of artificial concrete curbs about 3 parking spots wide but with quite a bit deeper depth. Right turn signal in and hug the right side of the curb without hitting it, pulling in so the front of the car is about halfway inside and brake to stop. Left turn signal and turn the wheel all the way to the left, foot off the brake, go but don't hit the curb, brake. Next, right turn signal, shift into reverse, turn the wheel all the way to the right, let off the brake and go backwards, don't hit the curb, I used my left mirror to help gauge how far my car was from the curb. Next, left turn signal again, shift into drive, turn wheel all the way to the left, let off brake, go forward. Ideally, you only need those three turns, but you're allowed to do as many as you like, so feel free to reverse and turn the wheel right again and then do the final left turn if needed so you don't hit the curb. Now that your car's nose is facing the other direction, the proctor will tell you to reverse straight into the space. Just reverse without hitting the curb, don't worry about the lines. Next, the proctor will tell you to pull up to the stop sign a couple yards down. Turn signal right and pull out the area, go straight, stop completely at the stop sign. The proctor will tell you to turn left and drive down to the section of the parking lot for those who passed. Pull up into one of the parking spots (don't hit the curb) and park. I don't even think I was straight or inside the lines at all, but my lot was empty, so I'm not sure if it matters. The proctor will then have your parent/guardian/supervisor drive the car back to the other parking lot. You'll go inside and get your photo taken, get a temporary license certificate, and the physical card will come in the mail in about a week. If at any point you hit a curb/cone or run out of time to complete an exercise, the instructor will stop you and call over your parent/guardian/supervisor, they'll get back in the passenger seat and you'll drive out. I HIGHLY recommend you make your parent promise to not get mad or angry with you if you fail. They'll likely be worked up, tired of waiting in lines for 2 hours, and irritated they took off work, so make them promise to be kind and calm and honor it. I failed the first time, and my dad yelling at me was worse than the feeling of failing the test, so set everything up accordingly. Tips: Visit the MVA location a couple times and observe the test. Go home and practice the maneuvers again and again. Simulate the experience as much as possible. I practiced several times at night in a large, empty parking lot which allowed me to simulate the "stop signs" (trees), etc. My parent would stand outside the car and administer the test like the proctor, which was better practice than having them sit next to me and coaching me through it. Bring a pen with you to the MVA and double check to make sure your insurance ID card is up to date and registration is valid. Check to make sure all the lights and turn signals, hazards, and horn work the night before. Make sure you've got at least a half tank of gas. My god, that was long, but I just want to help in any way I can. Best of luck everybody! And don't be ashamed if you don't get it on your first or second try, schedule a couple tests in advance.
Thank you so much for the tips. My driving instructor gave me the same tips about the course, during my 6 hours of driving behind the wheel. We went there and watched people run the course as long as I needed. I have my test tomorrow. I hope I’ll pass and my nerves won’t get the best of me.
Hey I take my test tommrow and my moms car (which I planned on using) one of the lights don’t work, it’s not the turn signal or brake lights or anything important like that but just one of the the back lights meant for extra light would I still be able to take the test?
@@Ignoranceisbliss0 It depends. If it's that ring of light AROUND the brake light, I don't think it'll matter. As long as the brakes, reverse, and turn signal lights work, you should be good
I just passed my test today, thank God!! All Glory to God alone 💃💃💃 This video was helpful and I took my test at the Largo location. After failing twice and so many rescheduling God did it!! Just an encouragement to anyone that is about to take the test, trust in God solely, practice and don’t be afraid or discouraged even when you fail keep persevering and trying and you’ll eventually get it by God’s grace!💃💃
as of january 2022 , the test is still the same ! exactly like this , and i passed !!! don’t be nervous , don’t be anxious , take your time and go slow , don’t overthink it . it’s easy to get worked up but just breathe and stay calm , believe that you’ll pass and you will ! i watched this video for 12 days ( leading up to my test ) analyzing it ! i highly recommend continuously watching this video to prepare , going up to the mva location to watch ppl take it , and practicing in an empty parking lot . it’s easy for you to get worked up but don’t allow it ! don’t let your nerves get the best of you , trust me . be confident , believe that you’ll pass and you will ! i also highly recommend praying hard about this ( for those who are religious ) . if you don’t pass the first or second time or whatever time it’s ok , it’s alright ! don’t get discouraged 😁 believe in yourself , and apply yourself into passing the next one . good luck to all of you taking it ! you’ll pass don’t worry !!!!!
@@nadajoe6401 i highly recommend using a car w a backup camera , using the backup camera helped a lot but also utilizing the rear view mirror and side mirrors . if you don’t have a car w a backup camera then i highly suggest adjusting the side mirrors and rear view mirror to fit ur perspective , when backing up always utilize your rear view and side mirrors ( don’t rely solely on the backup camera ) and if you feel as though you’re gonna hit the cone than maneuver the vehicle so you won’t . take your time and don’t be nervous !!
Congratulations on passing. This video was PERFECT! Thank you. My daughter takes hers soon. We have gone to the testing site several times to watch people as they park to get a better idea. This helps a lot. Helps her get a better perspective on how to maneuver her vehicle (Rav 4). It's a little difficult for her because she short, but this video opened up thoughts on what to expect and what to do. I recently saw 2 people fail before they even began. And 1 fail during the 3 point turn by simply not following instructions.
This video was a life saver!!! I just took my test today and PASSSED!!! Wont the Lord do it HALLELUJAH!!🙏🏾👏🏾 But forreal I had major anxiety about this test even though I was practicing everyday. But lemme tell you it is super easy (that’s if you practiced). As long as you stop at the stop signs, put on your turning signals, don’t touch any cones or curbs, and make sure you’re in the spaces ... YOU’RE GOOD TO GO!! Do any type of adjustments if you have to but make sure you don’t hit/touch anything!
@@Skylarrro I practiced for 3-4 weeks before my test day & I would go out almost every weekday for 30 min to practice in an empty parking lot. I had bought some small cones to set it up how my driving school did so it would be a bit similar to the test. For the forward parking, my driving school told me to align the passenger side mirror w/ the 1st line of the parking space that you’re going into, stop, turn the wheel all the way to the right and slowly go in. Now the car I used was more of an SUV type so it was a little bit bigger. So for that I would still align the mirror, but swing the car out a little to the left before, then turn the wheel all the way to the right and slowly go in. And on your test if you feel like your about to hit anything, you can always reverse, readjust and go forward in the space. Some points would be docked (idk how many) but at least you wouldn’t be failed for hitting a cone. I hope that helps. I pray that you pass!!
Thank you so much for providing this video. I took my test at the Largo MVA on Saturday, March 5th, and passed! Studying this video helped me feel more relaxed and confident behind the wheel. Although the experience was tedious and rough (specifically the customer service), I am so glad I achieved my goal and have my Driver's License. For the people scheduled to take the test, remember to believe in yourself, stay attentive, take your time, and know that you got this! Wish you nothing but the best on the MVA Test!
yo hey um leaving the test area after the three-point turn around how did you go about this, because the way my instructor worded it was confusing somewhat, and cause I was nervous and overthinking I messed up such a simple thing. could u help?
Took mine yesterday at the largo location, and I passed. It is not hard , the instructors make it hard . But just remain calm and you’ll pass. The only difficult part for me was the reversing but the camera help .
Passed on March 2022 at this exact location as well. After 2 failed attempts, (1st attempt I hit the cone during the 2-point and the 2nd attempt I bumped the curve during the 3-point turn), I finally got it down pat on my 3rd attempt. I was nervous, over-thinking, anxious and overwhelmed the first 2 attempts but eventually I had to pray and keep telling myself I had this on my 3rd try. Its all about having confidence and a clear mind when you go to take this test. Take your time, get plenty of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast if you have a time scheduled for the morning, and breathe so that you can relax & focus. Practice is always good before the test. And watching videos such as these, will definitely aide in your practice as well. Congratulations to everyone who has passed since this video and before. & Good Luck to all of those who are prepared to pass as well!
Here I passed my driving test 14 days ago, I did the whole process again, I went through a terrible process with certain people from MVA from Beltsville, and their surroundings please don't go to those places they are already tired and bitter,,So I went to the MVA of LARGO There are good people, the examiner was a very kind black young woman, when I passed the test I cried and hugged her, only God knows how I suffered to get it.
I just passed today y’all! Thanks to this amazing video. The test is just like this in Waldorf, biggest difference is the three point turn is right next to the parking spot. Also the spot is a little tighter than largo but it’s not hard to get into. Just practice how to fix yourself if you over turn. Stay calm and breathe you get through it with ease. Good luck, to everyone, and thank you for the video it helped sooooo much.
this vid helped alot! took my test today at the waldorf location. it was quick and the staff was cool. i was nervous but as soon as you start the test your nerves disappear so you’ll be fine! gluck everybody
I want to do it but everytime I decide to set an appointment, I get nervous and put it off. I have over 60 hrs and I can do the 3 point turn, I can pull into a parking space as well. I can back into a parking space but I’m inconsistent with that maneuver
@@silviamonroy7837 it didn't take more than 10 minutes, you'll be asked to do the reverse parking,then you'll be taken to the road with instructions. Just take a deep breath, you can do it.
i passed my test today 🥳🎉🎊😭🙌🙌🙌 im so happy just say to you guys if you have anxiety or nervous you need to say in your mind that everything gonna be ok breath and practice before the test and you got it the only have to do is go forward, reverse and three points turn is almost all about good 👍 luck 🍀
I just passed at largo!! The condensed test is easy and take your time on reversing into a spot, you have like 3 minutes but I literally couldn’t get it lined up right the first two times so I restarted 3 times in total and got it the last time and the guy still told me I passed at the end. Just stay calm and try not to think about it too much or at all cause overthinking will cause more stress
@@fummytommy5089 Find a driving school. I know in Dundalk, Essex, and maybe Towson and Timonium, ABC driving school lets you use their car. They will pick you up, give you driving practice before the test, and let you take the test with their car. I didn't have a car either, so ABC driving was very helpful. And the instructor shows you everything you'll do on the test right before taking it. They helped me pass. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for uploading this video this helped me so much that I passed my test last Friday at the Easton location. thank you so much this video saved my life.
It is exactly that same place My exam was yesterday 11/02/21 and I passed it thank God. It is something very easy but one always gets nervous. I saw this video several times and it helped me a lot !! Thanks
I passed on my 4th attempt… It was so frustrating at some point , but I still keep trying and practice more .. The video is so helpful. I gat my license yesterday… Thanks for the video .
I got my test tomorrow, I'm not super nervous because this is my second time taking it, the first time (yesterday) I was super stressed and anxious so I ended up failing before i even got to the test course, WATCH OUT FOR THE FIRST STOP SIGN that is what failed me, the first stop sign where the examiner will test ur brake lights and all that, make sure u stop, signal, head check, then proceed, believe in your self and go there with a positive mindset that you will pass, that's what I'm going to do tomorrow since I already got a sample of the course I will pay attention to everything before I even move the car and clear my head, good luck everyone !! UPDATE: I passed!!! Thanks to this video, Just stay calm and believe in your self, also beware your timed because I almost ran out of time😅. Good luck 🍀
Any tips on 2point turn when is the right time to stop and full the wheel all the way to the right coz I think i drove to far that ended up too far to the cone and almost hit the curb (this curb got me confused 😢) and exceeded the 3min alloted
I passed my test today thank you Jesus!!!!! This video was very helpful and accurate for the Largo location. They were very busy which made me nervous but the test went by so fast. You got this!! Just breathe and take your time, good luck!
I passed guys!!! Thanks so much for this clear video it’s exactly how it is shown only thing missing is a lane change and that was at the end on the course the mva instructor will tell you what to do once you complete your three point turn it was the easiest fastest test as long as you practice and practiced please take your time there is no rush you have 3 mins which is a pretty extensive time btw the parking space seemed huge as well as the cones good luck everyone
I litterally messed up at the lane change it was so easy i literally drove to the MVA and did it, It was the way the instructor worded it kinda confused me, so could explain so I make sure I have it
Just passed it today(12/14/23). Although, i just had to back in and then we did the road test. But, you(the reader) can do it. Take you time and breathe.
Thank you thank you thank you this video helped me so much I PASSED!!!!! Everyone just don’t let your nerves get the best of you. I took my test while it was pouring rain and I just kept telling myself I have enough time to complete all the maneuvers.
I just passed my test January 6th 2021 at largo md This video helped a lot thank you for uploading To anyone taking theirs Good luck, be calm and listen attentively
@@shauntaboone735 Yes, the test was exactly the same as what was shown in the video here. It seems like MVA changed the test via covid restrictions to only include parking procedures. Don't know when they'll revert it though. If you follow what was shown in the video and work on your parking skills you should have no trouble in passing the test. Good luck to you!
How many times do they allow you to drive forward out of the spot to correct yourself when back up parking? And how many time to back up when forward parking?
I passed mine today 3/22/24 i showed my signals the hazard lights backed in a space then did a slight road test thank you for the video and if you reading this im sure you are ready just be confident and pass the test
Thanks for this update. About to take test in Westminster...failed the three-point turn the first time as my mind froze! WTH?!?!? I'm nearly 57 and my license lapsed as I was teaching uni overseas... Never let that happen to you! Arrange to come home and renew instead! lol Thanks again.
Yeah you turn left when you leave the 3 point turn area and drive until you get past that mini 3 point turn concrete box. Once there is room you signal and move to the right of the road then drive to the stop sign and then turn left and continue to where the examiner told you to go. I took the test at Largo. Promise you it will be obvious when you do it.
Congratulations!!! thanks for this very clear video. I will have my test next May 10, I hope I can pass the test, my difficulty is that I speak Spanish and I am learning English.
I stopped by to say that today was my exam and I passed it. I thought it was May 10 but it was today May 5. I had a very very good examiner calmly and patiently explained each test to me. and this video is great. I happened to see that same examiner today.
April 2022, test is exactly the same! Did mine at the Glen Burnie location. Just remember to go very slow and take your time, and ask your instructor many questions if you need them before doing each maneuver! For my 3 point turn, I did two or three adjustments and it did not hurt my chance at passing. Good luck!
Before the test started did they ask you where certain things were? I’m going to the Essex, MD location but in other videos for example in different states they ask the driver to put there signal on and the instructor walked around the car to check and make sure all the light work, did they do that for you? In the Md drivers test vids I’ve seen, they didn’t do that, I just wanna know bc I take my test tues may 3rd
@@sailur They did that for me at the Glen Burnie location. I did mine around this time last year. This is typically done before you enter the testing site, in the waiting area. For me they just asked that I signal left or right, and press on the break pedal. It was not very extensive. But that may change by testing instructor and/or location. There are videos on TH-cam discussing different car controls they typically ask about on a driving test. It's important for your lights to be working, since they actually grade you on how you signal during your test. For instance, as you are entering or exiting the parking spot make sure to signal properly. Stop at every stop sign, and signal for every turn.
@@sailur Like the commenter above, you go in a waiting line before your instructor takes you to your course. All brake light checks are done while waiting
@@sailur also signal while going into the park, coming out of the park, making the turn at a corner, and at literally any point where you turn your wheel. I even did it at some of my adjustments. No harm in over signaling
@@saelri2010 thank you for the tips!!! My test is tuesday may 3rd 2022 @8:30am, I might be the first one there lol, so hopefully since I'm the first one, I can get it done pretty quick and since I won't be sitting in line for a long time, I won't start getting nervous 💗 and since it's a Tuesday morning, and gonna be cloudy, I think it gonna be pretty chill especially since everyone has work/school and it's a week day and not a weekend
Can someone clearly explain the 3 point turn because I didn’t pass last time at the Waldorf location. So you pull in half way , pull up a little , reverse , then turn your car until it’s facing the front ? The thing that’s confusing me is do i reverse straight or turn the wheel ??
So with the three point turn pretty much go into it anticipating that you don’t have enough space to make a full U-turn. Go to make a U-turn and then stop because you’re not gonna be able to make the whole turn. If you remember that you won’t hit anything because you’re not trying to make a full one
@@Shadow-uz4bq It’ll be modified for a while, especially since there’s a new COVID variation spreading like wildfire. Don’t worry too much cuz Ik you’ll pass! :)
ive been on and off bout reading the mva drivers manuel. havent gone to even take that test of the questions. i hope it all goes well. i really wanna drive now. im 17 & 3 almost 4 months old. i gotta start now. but yesterday and today i started. theres 10 sections. im on the 7th one. ik imma take the test this week. my mom said “good👍🏽” bc she saw the book in my hand and told me if im going this week & i said “yes” she said good!
Ok I took the test today 4/3/2023 at the same location the test was not the same I had to back into the space and go around the course and then do a drive on the road but the 3point turn or pulling forward into the space I did not do at all. This test is super easy just stay calm and focus remember your signals and do your head checks!
@@linnardstorey7373 I drove past the parking spot stopped at the stop sign made two right turns went past the 3 point turn space and went straight through the remainder of the course however before you get to the end you have to do one lane switch and then stop at another stop sign
@@linnardstorey7373 none at all lol you don’t have to do all the maneuvers this video shows it was super easy! Just stay calm and focused and watch the test from the parking lot before you take it lol
Watching this helped so much. I was able to prepare with this video to know what to practice and then later do on the test. I’m so happy for this video cause it helped me pass on 2/22/22
@@MrKaziMan I took it at the one in Essex. The spaces were pretty spacious for me. The only part in which I felt that there wasn’t enough space was for the 3 point turn. The instructors there try to work with you as much as possible though because they really want to see you pass.
@@aniyahmoody8624 Hello, could you tell me which parking lot was in Essex Maryland and I imagine you are afraid of the 3-point turn in the last exercise and if you can explain it better, thank you very much
@@Dumbirri hello, the parking lot was the one behind the MVA in a lot that was made for the test. It’s usually surrounded by a gate, but locked at night (tried to go for practice but it was closed). The 3-point turn was very concerning for me. It felt like I didn’t have enough space when I was going forward and then going backwards I kept thinking I was about to hit the curb. It might have been a mind thing and I was thinking it was close but might not have been. They allow you to move as much as you want in order to get out but points get taken off. I really hope this helped and if you have any more question I would be really happy to help
Thank you so much for this video however I have a question. I am taking my test at this same location in a few days and for the three point turn, are we expected to reverse into parking space outlined there perfectly like you did or do we just need to get the car facing forward and back into the space ?
So when you backing in to the spot do they make you put your arm on the passenger seat and back or you can do it how you want as long as you looking both ways while backing up .Just wanted to know because my test tomorrow and I'm taking it in Reisterstown In Baltimore
Just passed it, on my first try too! The proctor even gave me a nickname, it's pretty dang easy, people just make it look hard. You even get a diagram of what you're supposed to do before you do it.
Took it today at the Beltsville location and passed! It’s the exact same thing as this. Just pay attention to the instructions given and you will be fine.
you're amazing for this video , i go to take mine may 10th i'm very nervous . i just have a few questions...when you stopped after you were finished each course did you put the car in park and put the parking break on or just hold the break with she was giving other instructions? also did anyone accompany you in the car or do you have to be in the car by yourself?
Ty for the comment. When I stopped I placed the car in Parking. And no one can accompany you while you are taking the test. Hope this answers your question.
@@rebeccaolu4876 I had to wait a week from the second time I did it i passed on the 3rd time the 1st time I didn’t practice much because of work and not having nobody free to practice with because of the pandemic so I hit the second set of cones 2nd time I got to the end of the course and crossed over the wrong side third time was a charm 🙏🏾🥳
Hello. I have a question, I have a Dodge Journey suv I will be taking to my test. I would probably have to do wide turns for pull in and etc because of my car right? Is there enough space for me to be able to do those for pull in parking and etc? From the video, it doesn’t look like you did wide turn for pull in parking. Any advice for suv drivers or how to do certain things?
You’ll be fine the spaces are huge I’ve seen a huge ass Chevy traverse pull in with ease there is enough space on the left side of you if do need to pull over some to get a angle in
i wonder about the hand movement on the steering does the way you move your hands matter and if it does how the hands should be shaped on the steering, please?
Hello everyone, What a great video, thanks for uploading. I have a question when the driving test is done, do the cones always put them on the right side? because when I park on the left side it becomes more difficult for me.
I take my new test tomorrow morning! I’m pretty confident with the help of this video. My last question is: when you’re done with all of the maneuvers, when exactly are you supposed to do the lane change? I don’t wanna accidentally make a simple mistake again. 😂
Maybe it’s just the camera angle, but I failed at Salisbury today and came across this video. I swear the lane for pull in and reverse is so much smaller there than in this video. But this will really help me on my second attempt, thank you
With the three point turn did you have to back up into that parking space or can you just do it and face out the opposite way you came in. And what did you mean by lane change at the end?
Not sure i know what you mean. However, for the three point turn, you have to go in face first then perform the 3 point turn. if you are referring to the very first maneuver, you have to back up in the parking slot, there is no other way allowed.
i take my test next week. this video was super helpful!!! does anyone know what documents you have to bring with you to the mva the day of your test? also if the vehicle you’re using can have tinted windows.
I take mine tomorrow! Wish me luck 🍀 if I pass, I get to drive to college 🥳 Update: I passed! It was super easy and nothing you guys should stress about! I took it in Hagerstown and everyone was rlly nice. Practice a little bit a day or two before and you’ll be fine! I’m off to college 🥳
Yes it's a 3 point turn but maybe the instructor told them to stay there after finishing, so the instructor could give them further directions to exit the course 🤷
i passed today everyone!!! it's super easy this video is awesome just stay calm .. breathe .. and go in with the mindset that you WILL pass you will NOT fail! good luck everyone you got this! thank you again for this video i watched it last night!!
Congrats! Glad the video helped you out.

@@yandhimontero1121 I don’t have a backup camera but my friends that took the test do. They did look at their back up cameras very subtly once and a while but they didn’t get failed because of it. So I would say technically you can’t but if they are there and you happen to look at them it’s okay
I feel anxiety just watching this video 😭
I passed today in Beltsville. As of Nov. 23, 2021, the test was exactly like this. I highly recommend driving up to the MVA location a few times before taking it and observing the test being conducted. At the Beltsville location you can conveniently watch from the parking lot.
What's on the test:
You drive out to either the A or B course and wait for the instructor. The proctor first will tell you to pull in nose first into the parking space. It was a right turn on both courses at Beltsville. You have 3 minutes to pull in to the right with signals all the way in, don't hit any cones, straighten the wheel, put the car in park.
Next, the proctor will tell you to reverse out of the parking spot and to reset to the original position. Be careful backing out as there was an artificial curb that extended about 1.5 feet past the first set of cones. Once you've gotten out of the space, you can pull forward if necessary to straighten the car before reversing straight backwards to the original position, it may be too cramped otherwise.
Now you'll need to reverse park (backing into the space tail first). From the starting position, the instructor told me to pull straight forward. On a previous attempt, I tried to move over to the right a bit to get closer to the cones and angle my front to the left by pulling forward. You can't do that, I guess. SO. You have 3 minutes to pull forward from the starting position past the line of cones on the left edge of the parking spot. Shift into reverse and use your signal. Go slow and begin to turn the wheel to move your car's rear to get between the two lines of cones. Go slow at first if necessary and remember to use your right mirror as a gauge, and that you can turn the wheel left or right in reverse to better adjust your angle, which is why it's good to go slow, so you have time to judge and adjust the angle before you get too close. You also can pull forward to straighten the car before backing in if necessary. Now you've backed in to the parking space. Put the car in park.
Now you'll need to pull to the right out of the parking spot. Shift into drive, put on your right turn signal and pull out of the space. Once you've gotten out of the space, turn to the right and stop at the stop sign.
Next is the three point turn, which you also have 3 minutes to complete. A few feet from the stop sign is the three point turn space. For reference, it is a section of artificial concrete curbs about 3 parking spots wide but with quite a bit deeper depth. Right turn signal in and hug the right side of the curb without hitting it, pulling in so the front of the car is about halfway inside and brake to stop. Left turn signal and turn the wheel all the way to the left, foot off the brake, go but don't hit the curb, brake. Next, right turn signal, shift into reverse, turn the wheel all the way to the right, let off the brake and go backwards, don't hit the curb, I used my left mirror to help gauge how far my car was from the curb. Next, left turn signal again, shift into drive, turn wheel all the way to the left, let off brake, go forward. Ideally, you only need those three turns, but you're allowed to do as many as you like, so feel free to reverse and turn the wheel right again and then do the final left turn if needed so you don't hit the curb. Now that your car's nose is facing the other direction, the proctor will tell you to reverse straight into the space. Just reverse without hitting the curb, don't worry about the lines.
Next, the proctor will tell you to pull up to the stop sign a couple yards down. Turn signal right and pull out the area, go straight, stop completely at the stop sign. The proctor will tell you to turn left and drive down to the section of the parking lot for those who passed. Pull up into one of the parking spots (don't hit the curb) and park. I don't even think I was straight or inside the lines at all, but my lot was empty, so I'm not sure if it matters. The proctor will then have your parent/guardian/supervisor drive the car back to the other parking lot. You'll go inside and get your photo taken, get a temporary license certificate, and the physical card will come in the mail in about a week.
If at any point you hit a curb/cone or run out of time to complete an exercise, the instructor will stop you and call over your parent/guardian/supervisor, they'll get back in the passenger seat and you'll drive out. I HIGHLY recommend you make your parent promise to not get mad or angry with you if you fail. They'll likely be worked up, tired of waiting in lines for 2 hours, and irritated they took off work, so make them promise to be kind and calm and honor it. I failed the first time, and my dad yelling at me was worse than the feeling of failing the test, so set everything up accordingly.
Tips: Visit the MVA location a couple times and observe the test. Go home and practice the maneuvers again and again. Simulate the experience as much as possible. I practiced several times at night in a large, empty parking lot which allowed me to simulate the "stop signs" (trees), etc. My parent would stand outside the car and administer the test like the proctor, which was better practice than having them sit next to me and coaching me through it.
Bring a pen with you to the MVA and double check to make sure your insurance ID card is up to date and registration is valid. Check to make sure all the lights and turn signals, hazards, and horn work the night before.
Make sure you've got at least a half tank of gas.
My god, that was long, but I just want to help in any way I can. Best of luck everybody! And don't be ashamed if you don't get it on your first or second try, schedule a couple tests in advance.
Thank you so much for the tips. My driving instructor gave me the same tips about the course, during my 6 hours of driving behind the wheel. We went there and watched people run the course as long as I needed. I have my test tomorrow. I hope I’ll pass and my nerves won’t get the best of me.
Thank you so much for this information! My test is today and I am very nervous, but I will breathe and get through it.
Ugh omg thank you!!!! I take mine today at the Beltsville MVAand I am ready to be sick!!!! My nerves are so bad!! 😭😭😭
Hey I take my test tommrow and my moms car (which I planned on using) one of the lights don’t work, it’s not the turn signal or brake lights or anything important like that but just one of the the back lights meant for extra light would I still be able to take the test?
@@Ignoranceisbliss0 It depends. If it's that ring of light AROUND the brake light, I don't think it'll matter. As long as the brakes, reverse, and turn signal lights work, you should be good
I just passed my test today, thank God!! All Glory to God alone 💃💃💃 This video was helpful and I took my test at the Largo location. After failing twice and so many rescheduling God did it!! Just an encouragement to anyone that is about to take the test, trust in God solely, practice and don’t be afraid or discouraged even when you fail keep persevering and trying and you’ll eventually get it by God’s grace!💃💃
Any advice ? I take my test tomorrow
That’s Great. Congratulations 🎉. When you get the driving practice, only you in the car or anyone sit next to you ?
@@Kimmynails yes you are in the car by your self
Amen I have Faith I will passed mines
I needed this word in Jesus name
as of january 2022 , the test is still the same ! exactly like this , and i passed !!! don’t be nervous , don’t be anxious , take your time and go slow , don’t overthink it . it’s easy to get worked up but just breathe and stay calm , believe that you’ll pass and you will ! i watched this video for 12 days ( leading up to my test ) analyzing it ! i highly recommend continuously watching this video to prepare , going up to the mva location to watch ppl take it , and practicing in an empty parking lot . it’s easy for you to get worked up but don’t allow it ! don’t let your nerves get the best of you , trust me . be confident , believe that you’ll pass and you will ! i also highly recommend praying hard about this ( for those who are religious ) . if you don’t pass the first or second time or whatever time it’s ok , it’s alright ! don’t get discouraged 😁 believe in yourself , and apply yourself into passing the next one . good luck to all of you taking it ! you’ll pass don’t worry !!!!!
Any advice on reverse parking ? Like a reference point or anything ?
@@nadajoe6401 i highly recommend using a car w a backup camera , using the backup camera helped a lot but also utilizing the rear view mirror and side mirrors . if you don’t have a car w a backup camera then i highly suggest adjusting the side mirrors and rear view mirror to fit ur perspective , when backing up always utilize your rear view and side mirrors ( don’t rely solely on the backup camera ) and if you feel as though you’re gonna hit the cone than maneuver the vehicle so you won’t . take your time and don’t be nervous !!
@@martinez1630 si te dejan, pero reccomiendo que aprendas a usar los espejos por si acaso
I have a question do they take you on the road because I’m about to take my road test soon
@@diamondsdiamond9704 no they don’t , you just stay within the testing site
Congratulations on passing. This video was PERFECT! Thank you. My daughter takes hers soon. We have gone to the testing site several times to watch people as they park to get a better idea. This helps a lot. Helps her get a better perspective on how to maneuver her vehicle (Rav 4). It's a little difficult for her because she short, but this video opened up thoughts on what to expect and what to do. I recently saw 2 people fail before they even began. And 1 fail during the 3 point turn by simply not following instructions.
I’m taking mine at 4 did she pass
Watched this video multiple times, including others and I passed my drivers skills test today at the MVA out Essex. Thank you! 👏🏽
Finally! A driving test video that's clear. The other ones on youtube are filmed from a far distance!
so is this all they do for the driving test or do they still making you drive around the perimeter
Under COVID conditions, this is the whole test.
Finally passed my driving test!!! Thanks for this video. It really help me focus on what I needed to do to pass. Good luck everyone!!!
Congrats!!
I passed mine 6 months ago in largo, this particular lady was my instructor, she was nice to me and I gave God the Glory.
Did you rent the car for the test or you have yours already
This video was a life saver!!! I just took my test today and PASSSED!!! Wont the Lord do it HALLELUJAH!!🙏🏾👏🏾 But forreal I had major anxiety about this test even though I was practicing everyday. But lemme tell you it is super easy (that’s if you practiced). As long as you stop at the stop signs, put on your turning signals, don’t touch any cones or curbs, and make sure you’re in the spaces ... YOU’RE GOOD TO GO!! Do any type of adjustments if you have to but make sure you don’t hit/touch anything!
How many days of practice did u need?? I take mine in a couple days but I still can’t forward park :(((
@@Skylarrro I practiced for 3-4 weeks before my test day & I would go out almost every weekday for 30 min to practice in an empty parking lot. I had bought some small cones to set it up how my driving school did so it would be a bit similar to the test. For the forward parking, my driving school told me to align the passenger side mirror w/ the 1st line of the parking space that you’re going into, stop, turn the wheel all the way to the right and slowly go in. Now the car I used was more of an SUV type so it was a little bit bigger. So for that I would still align the mirror, but swing the car out a little to the left before, then turn the wheel all the way to the right and slowly go in. And on your test if you feel like your about to hit anything, you can always reverse, readjust and go forward in the space. Some points would be docked (idk how many) but at least you wouldn’t be failed for hitting a cone. I hope that helps. I pray that you pass!!
Thanks I’ll use that info for my behind the wheel test in Waldorf MD
Any advice on reverse parking ? Any reference points ?
@@khalia8845 they make parking space bigger?
Thank you so much for providing this video. I took my test at the Largo MVA on Saturday, March 5th, and passed! Studying this video helped me feel more relaxed and confident behind the wheel. Although the experience was tedious and rough (specifically the customer service), I am so glad I achieved my goal and have my Driver's License. For the people scheduled to take the test, remember to believe in yourself, stay attentive, take your time, and know that you got this! Wish you nothing but the best on the MVA Test!
How long was the entire test?
Hour of Truth with Evangelist Emmanuel Owusu I would say it depends on the person, 20 minutes max.
yo hey um leaving the test area after the three-point turn around how did you go about this, because the way my instructor worded it was confusing somewhat, and cause I was nervous and overthinking I messed up such a simple thing. could u help?
I take my second behind the wheel in 3 days this time we will be on the highway and I am suuuuper nervous 😩 pray for me please
Took mine yesterday at the largo location, and I passed. It is not hard , the instructors make it hard . But just remain calm and you’ll pass. The only difficult part for me was the reversing but the camera help .
So you’re allowed to use the back up camera during the test?
@@abbyalilio8025 yes
@@abbyalilio8025 I did, he wasn’t happy with the fact that I used it but it helped me .
Did you rent a car for the test or you already have a car
@@fummytommy5089 just now seeing this , I went with my brothers car.
Passed on March 2022 at this exact location as well. After 2 failed attempts, (1st attempt I hit the cone during the 2-point and the 2nd attempt I bumped the curve during the 3-point turn), I finally got it down pat on my 3rd attempt. I was nervous, over-thinking, anxious and overwhelmed the first 2 attempts but eventually I had to pray and keep telling myself I had this on my 3rd try. Its all about having confidence and a clear mind when you go to take this test. Take your time, get plenty of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast if you have a time scheduled for the morning, and breathe so that you can relax & focus. Practice is always good before the test. And watching videos such as these, will definitely aide in your practice as well. Congratulations to everyone who has passed since this video and before. & Good Luck to all of those who are prepared to pass as well!
They don't take you on the road?
Here I passed my driving test 14 days ago, I did the whole process again, I went through a terrible process with certain people from MVA from Beltsville, and their surroundings please don't go to those places they are already tired and bitter,,So I went to the MVA of LARGO There are good people, the examiner was a very kind black young woman, when I passed the test I cried and hugged her, only God knows how I suffered to get it.
Congratulations
I just passed today y’all! Thanks to this amazing video. The test is just like this in Waldorf, biggest difference is the three point turn is right next to the parking spot. Also the spot is a little tighter than largo but it’s not hard to get into. Just practice how to fix yourself if you over turn. Stay calm and breathe you get through it with ease. Good luck, to everyone, and thank you for the video it helped sooooo much.
Great job!
this vid helped alot! took my test today at the waldorf location. it was quick and the staff was cool. i was nervous but as soon as you start the test your nerves disappear so you’ll be fine! gluck everybody
I want to do it but everytime I decide to set an appointment, I get nervous and put it off. I have over 60 hrs and I can do the 3 point turn, I can pull into a parking space as well. I can back into a parking space but I’m inconsistent with that maneuver

I just passed at largo!! The condensed test is easy and take your time on reversing into a spot, you have like 3 minutes but I literally couldn’t get it lined up right the first two times so I restarted 3 times in total and got it the last time and the guy still told me I passed at the end. Just stay calm and try not to think about it too much or at all cause overthinking will cause more stress
Condensed test?
@@yeyesksk6516 Yeah, this isn’t the original road test. Before COVID, drivers were tested on public roads with the instructor in the passenger seat..
Pls where can I rent a car for the road test. I want to take the test too but no one to rent a car for me.
@@fummytommy5089 Find a driving school. I know in Dundalk, Essex, and maybe Towson and Timonium, ABC driving school lets you use their car. They will pick you up, give you driving practice before the test, and let you take the test with their car. I didn't have a car either, so ABC driving was very helpful. And the instructor shows you everything you'll do on the test right before taking it. They helped me pass. I highly recommend it.

If you dont mind me asking, what did they fail you for?
I got my test tomorrow, I'm not super nervous because this is my second time taking it, the first time (yesterday) I was super stressed and anxious so I ended up failing before i even got to the test course, WATCH OUT FOR THE FIRST STOP SIGN that is what failed me, the first stop sign where the examiner will test ur brake lights and all that, make sure u stop, signal, head check, then proceed, believe in your self and go there with a positive mindset that you will pass, that's what I'm going to do tomorrow since I already got a sample of the course I will pay attention to everything before I even move the car and clear my head, good luck everyone !!

Glad it helped!

Public road test is not required ?
@@Shadow-uz4bq Yes because of covid restrictions the examiners do not get into the car with you, so no road test. I’m not sure when this will change.

I passed guys!!! Thanks so much for this clear video it’s exactly how it is shown only thing missing is a lane change and that was at the end on the course the mva instructor will tell you what to do once you complete your three point turn it was the easiest fastest test as long as you practice and practiced please take your time there is no rush you have 3 mins which is a pretty extensive time btw the parking space seemed huge as well as the cones good luck everyone

As many times as you need but you only have 3 minutes to perform each maneuver

Can you tell me parking spot is bigger or normal
@@Shadow-uz4bq It's a bit bigger than a normal parking spot.
I keep seeing people mention a lane change as you exit the course ? can you elaborate on that ? and is it an automatic fail if its not done properly ?
Yeah you turn left when you leave the 3 point turn area and drive until you get past that mini 3 point turn concrete box. Once there is room you signal and move to the right of the road then drive to the stop sign and then turn left and continue to where the examiner told you to go. I took the test at Largo. Promise you it will be obvious when you do it.
Congratulations!!! thanks for this very clear video. I will have my test next May 10, I hope I can pass the test, my difficulty is that I speak Spanish and I am learning English.

I stopped by to say that today was my exam and I passed it. I thought it was May 10 but it was today May 5. I had a very very good examiner calmly and patiently explained each test to me. and this video is great. I happened to see that same examiner today.
@@jemmixon congratulations 🎉🍾🎈I also passed.
April 2022, test is exactly the same! Did mine at the Glen Burnie location. Just remember to go very slow and take your time, and ask your instructor many questions if you need them before doing each maneuver! For my 3 point turn, I did two or three adjustments and it did not hurt my chance at passing. Good luck!
Before the test started did they ask you where certain things were? I’m going to the Essex, MD location but in other videos for example in different states they ask the driver to put there signal on and the instructor walked around the car to check and make sure all the light work, did they do that for you? In the Md drivers test vids I’ve seen, they didn’t do that, I just wanna know bc I take my test tues may 3rd
@@sailur They did that for me at the Glen Burnie location. I did mine around this time last year. This is typically done before you enter the testing site, in the waiting area. For me they just asked that I signal left or right, and press on the break pedal. It was not very extensive. But that may change by testing instructor and/or location. There are videos on TH-cam discussing different car controls they typically ask about on a driving test.
It's important for your lights to be working, since they actually grade you on how you signal during your test. For instance, as you are entering or exiting the parking spot make sure to signal properly. Stop at every stop sign, and signal for every turn.
@@sailur Like the commenter above, you go in a waiting line before your instructor takes you to your course. All brake light checks are done while waiting
@@sailur also signal while going into the park, coming out of the park, making the turn at a corner, and at literally any point where you turn your wheel. I even did it at some of my adjustments. No harm in over signaling
@@saelri2010 thank you for the tips!!! My test is tuesday may 3rd 2022 @8:30am, I might be the first one there lol, so hopefully since I'm the first one, I can get it done pretty quick and since I won't be sitting in line for a long time, I won't start getting nervous 💗 and since it's a Tuesday morning, and gonna be cloudy, I think it gonna be pretty chill especially since everyone has work/school and it's a week day and not a weekend
Really the best test video I’ve seen. Without question this vid helped me pass
Great to hear!
Can someone clearly explain the 3 point turn because I didn’t pass last time at the Waldorf location. So you pull in half way , pull up a little , reverse , then turn your car until it’s facing the front ? The thing that’s confusing me is do i reverse straight or turn the wheel ??
So with the three point turn pretty much go into it anticipating that you don’t have enough space to make a full U-turn. Go to make a U-turn and then stop because you’re not gonna be able to make the whole turn. If you remember that you won’t hit anything because you’re not trying to make a full one
I passed my test yesterday, I was so nervous but I did it!! This video was very helpful. Good luck to you all 😊

Hi. for the pull in parking, when did you start to turn the wheel, and when did you straighten it up again?
Depends on size of car. This video is really helpful. Good luck. m.th-cam.com/video/NW8iGkawXbg/w-d-xo.html
I will take it tomorrow! I Hope everything goes well! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much I just passed at largo your video was excellent and helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Ok I took the test today 4/3/2023 at the same location the test was not the same I had to back into the space and go around the course and then do a drive on the road but the 3point turn or pulling forward into the space I did not do at all. This test is super easy just stay calm and focus remember your signals and do your head checks!
What did going around the course consist of?
@@linnardstorey7373 I drove past the parking spot stopped at the stop sign made two right turns went past the 3 point turn space and went straight through the remainder of the course however before you get to the end you have to do one lane switch and then stop at another stop sign
@@shaunyshaun34 No pressure at all 😂
@@linnardstorey7373 none at all lol you don’t have to do all the maneuvers this video shows it was super easy! Just stay calm and focused and watch the test from the parking lot before you take it lol
@@shaunyshaun34 Yeah I definitely want to go and watch someone else do it in person prior to taking it
Watching this helped so much. I was able to prepare with this video to know what to practice and then later do on the test. I’m so happy for this video cause it helped me pass on 2/22/22
Where u take?
Was space bigger ?
Parking space bigger?
@@MrKaziMan I took it at the one in Essex. The spaces were pretty spacious for me. The only part in which I felt that there wasn’t enough space was for the 3 point turn. The instructors there try to work with you as much as possible though because they really want to see you pass.
Glad it helped!
@@aniyahmoody8624 Hello, could you tell me which parking lot was in Essex Maryland and I imagine you are afraid of the 3-point turn in the last exercise and if you can explain it better, thank you very much
@@Dumbirri hello, the parking lot was the one behind the MVA in a lot that was made for the test. It’s usually surrounded by a gate, but locked at night (tried to go for practice but it was closed). The 3-point turn was very concerning for me. It felt like I didn’t have enough space when I was going forward and then going backwards I kept thinking I was about to hit the curb. It might have been a mind thing and I was thinking it was close but might not have been. They allow you to move as much as you want in order to get out but points get taken off. I really hope this helped and if you have any more question I would be really happy to help
Just took my test yesterday and passed thanks 😊
Me too!
Was the Parking spaces big enough for you to park with no errors?
This video looks helpful I need to do my practice again. My exam coming on June 19
How did you do??
Thank you so much for this video however I have a question. I am taking my test at this same location in a few days and for the three point turn, are we expected to reverse into parking space outlined there perfectly like you did or do we just need to get the car facing forward and back into the space ?
You can do more than 3 maneuvers to complete the 3 point turn.
Yout a life saver for this video
Hope it helped you out.
Thank u bruh for this, I passed at my 2:30pm appointment today.
Glad the Vid helped.
So when you backing in to the spot do they make you put your arm on the passenger seat and back or you can do it how you want as long as you looking both ways while backing up .Just wanted to know because my test tomorrow and I'm taking it in Reisterstown In Baltimore
At this location, it didnt matter.
How did the test go? I’m taking mine at the same place
Can u use the back up camera?
I have my test tomorrow and I’m so excited and nervous at the same time!!! Hopefully I pass!
Best of luck.
Just passed it, on my first try too! The proctor even gave me a nickname, it's pretty dang easy, people just make it look hard. You even get a diagram of what you're supposed to do before you do it.
Congrats to you!!
Took it today at the Beltsville location and passed! It’s the exact same thing as this. Just pay attention to the instructions given and you will be fine.
I’m taking my test there tomorrow. Wish me luck and I’ll update this if I pass!
When did you have to do the lane change at the end of the test?
@@user-jb7ht2jn2i you don’t have to do the lane change for my knowledge.
Does anyone have tips on reversing?
you're amazing for this video , i go to take mine may 10th i'm very nervous . i just have a few questions...when you stopped after you were finished each course did you put the car in park and put the parking break on or just hold the break with she was giving other instructions? also did anyone accompany you in the car or do you have to be in the car by yourself?
Ty for the comment. When I stopped I placed the car in Parking. And no one can accompany you while you are taking the test. Hope this answers your question.
Omg this video realllllllly helped I pass my test the 3rd time at the Essex branch on June the 3rd 2021 after watching this video 😊😉
Congrats, glad the video helped.
Hi Angela.. Even i will have in Essex branch...what things have to keep in mind?
Did you have to wait 1 week since you did it 3 times?
@@SuperNeal111 I’m soooooo sorry I’m late I never had nobody respond to anything i put on here I’m sure by now you passed 🤗
@@rebeccaolu4876 I had to wait a week from the second time I did it i passed on the 3rd time the 1st time I didn’t practice much because of work and not having nobody free to practice with because of the pandemic so I hit the second set of cones 2nd time I got to the end of the course and crossed over the wrong side third time was a charm 🙏🏾🥳
I passssed today this vid was a big help thanksss
Hello. I have a question, I have a Dodge Journey suv I will be taking to my test. I would probably have to do wide turns for pull in and etc because of my car right? Is there enough space for me to be able to do those for pull in parking and etc? From the video, it doesn’t look like you did wide turn for pull in parking. Any advice for suv drivers or how to do certain things?
You’ll be fine the spaces are huge I’ve seen a huge ass Chevy traverse pull in with ease there is enough space on the left side of you if do need to pull over some to get a angle in
@@shauntaboone735 thank you! For the reverse with a Dodge Journey suv, would I need to move up ever further than the car did in this video?
Does anyone know if the parking spaces are bigger than normal ones
I take mine tmr. in Jesus almighty name I will pass whew! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Me too!
How’d it go
@@anthonymyers177 good! i passed
Amen
i wonder about the hand movement on the steering does the way you move your hands matter and if it does how the hands should be shaped on the steering, please?
As is taught in drivers training, hands on steering wheel should be 3 and 9 or 2 and 10.
For anyone wondering it’s only the reverse parking now and they take you on the road
NOOOOO
hey thanks for letting us know! what is the route? is it the one where you go by the fire station ?
I take mines today at 11:00.. I’ve been practicing and watching this video SINCE so I’m praying I really pass! Wish me goodluck 💖
Best of luck
did you pass?
I take my test today and I’m watching this video over and over again I don’t wanna mess up or anything kinda nervous
Just got my license, i’m so happy!!!
Congratulations
Hello everyone, What a great video, thanks for uploading. I have a question when the driving test is done, do the cones always put them on the right side? because when I park on the left side it becomes more difficult for me.
to my knowledge, yes they do.
Thanks for the video! Passed at the Loveville location
I have my test for the 17th at the loveville location.
No problem!
I take my new test tomorrow morning! I’m pretty confident with the help of this video. My last question is: when you’re done with all of the maneuvers, when exactly are you supposed to do the lane change? I don’t wanna accidentally make a simple mistake again. 😂
As you exit the course, the instructor will tell you what to do.
Did you pass bro?
Did u pass bro
pass ?
I take my test June 5th just out of curiosity is the spot we have to pull in and back into is that bigger than normal spots
The spot is the same size as a normal parking spot.
how was it
@@_BLUU_ extremely easy
@@graveyberger3926 what did you do? Did they test you for hand signals and stuff?
Hi...during driving test what things have to keep in mind?
So, you're allowed to enter through the second lane? I always enter the course through the lane closest to the cones.
Maybe it’s just the camera angle, but I failed at Salisbury today and came across this video. I swear the lane for pull in and reverse is so much smaller there than in this video. But this will really help me on my second attempt, thank you
Sorry to hear that
With the three point turn did you have to back up into that parking space or can you just do it and face out the opposite way you came in. And what did you mean by lane change at the end?
Not sure i know what you mean. However, for the three point turn, you have to go in face first then perform the 3 point turn. if you are referring to the very first maneuver, you have to back up in the parking slot, there is no other way allowed.
@@shogunscorner2774 I passed!
i take my test next week. this video was super helpful!!! does anyone know what documents you have to bring with you to the mva the day of your test? also if the vehicle you’re using can have tinted windows.
I passed mine 2 weeks ago not as bad if you go to bel air the parking place is bigger than you expect !
I take mine tomorrow! Wish me luck 🍀 if I pass, I get to drive to college 🥳
Update: I passed! It was super easy and nothing you guys should stress about! I took it in Hagerstown and everyone was rlly nice. Practice a little bit a day or two before and you’ll be fine! I’m off to college 🥳
Good luck!!
I take mine next week, and I will pass!!!
has anyone taken it in waldorf? i take it tomorrow and im nervous
Does anyone know if the test is still the same as this, with the instructor not in the car with you?
It is
I failed at Waldorf. I hit a cone backing out. Next test is in 2 weeks. Just got to practice more
Thanks to this awesome video I made it todayyyyyy.
I have my test in Westminster today, I’m trying to remain calm! Will update later if I passed
Update: I passed!
Hey does anyone know if they're gonna switch the Test back to pre-covid?
I have the same question
Me 2 I have my exam in September
For the 3 point, do they make you back up into the middle of the 3 spots. Or do you have to just be straight anywhere inside of it?
After you finish all the turns in the 3 point, they do make you back up into the box. I just happened to end up in the middle.
@@shogunscorner2774 thank you. Also in the 3 point do u have to use turn signals any time u make a move in it.
@@anshpatel6756 yes, you can see that in the video. I used turn signals for all moves once inside he 3 point turn.
@@shogunscorner2774 thank you
@@shogunscorner2774 You are a lifesaver, I'm about to have my MVA Driver's test tomorrow and this is a great video for reference!
I’m a little confused on the last part of the test , isn’t that the three point turn ? Why did she have you park once you made the turn
Yes it's a 3 point turn but maybe the instructor told them to stay there after finishing, so the instructor could give them further directions to exit the course 🤷
