sylvaz - I passed on 3rd attempt. Actually from personal and other people's experience, a huge part really depends on which tester you get. Skill, technique and attitude are absolutely compulsory factors, together with being calm, confident, yet humble. But ultimately, the tester makes a big difference. I guess I'm trying to say, luck plays an important role too.
Seems like you need more practice. You have to psycho yourself into being confident and good too. Mind over matter. Strict instructors are okay lah. For me, I 'eat soft don't need hard' heheh, so I cannot tahan instructors who scold and yell. I respond better to instructors who are calm and more 'coach'-like, able to inspire you and explain clearly. But some people respond better to the scolding type. Heheh. One man's meat is another man's poison, I suppose.
It's understandable to be kan cheong. But try not to let it overwhelm you. Focus on your driving and stay calm!
Good luck and hope you pass. Receiving that official driving license in the mail was really an incredible feeling! Hope it happens for you too.

It's good if instructor scolds ya. At least he is correcting your mistake than those who just keep quiet or bo chup. Also good experience driving during peak hour so you will be trained not be gan jiong when there are many cars around and cutting into your lane.
My instructor used to keep talking to me for the duration and he expects me to join in the conversation. It's beneficial to me as he mastered me to be more focused while driving haha

Different approaches work on different people ba. My previous instructor didn't just scold. He actually yelled. All the time. Firing him and finding my instructor was the best thing I ever did for my driving. Heheh.

ya lo.. den keep saying those kids learn driving scold abit only den nv learn alr.. haha
omg! i don't know why i'm feeling so excited after reading this..
anw, i got my FTT abt 6 months ago? and i haven't started on my practical lessons! my bf totally gave up on trying to get my lazy bum started on learning so, new year is coming and i determined to finish it asap!
hmmm... so.. i'm kinda looking towards Auto learning (bitterly convinced by my bf tt it is faster and easier)... however, i'm still a student so kinda need to find a reasonably priced tutor who is good. (not necessarily cheap because Sometimes quality and price do link right?
)
given the rough thread market rate, what should be a reasonable price for a reasonably good tutor? Btw, i live around thomson and sch's at clementi so super duper willing to travel within radius!!!
so, on that note, any good tutors to recommend?
sorry for the super long hyper post!
