Im pretty confident in driving abilities for taking the test this week with nearly two months of driving with someone else. My only real issue with taking my drivers test is that its my understanding sometimes DMVs have a secret everyone fails once policy, or some instructors do. I'm mainly wondering on average in the US low long did people have to wait.

I failed my first time. The instructor never told me why I failed, so I have no idea what I needed to improve on. I remember thinking it MUST be the parallel parking section, so I asked my dad to take me out to the DMV so I could spend an hour or two perfecting my parallel parking.

I scheduled a second test for the next Sunday. Little did I realize this was Super Bowl Sunday. The instructor I got that time around was very chill and just told me to drive through a nearby neighborhood a few times so we could wrap things up quickly. I was never even asked to parallel park.

All of this to say that I don't think the DMV has a secret failing policy, but I can guarantee you that some instructors take it more seriously than others.
