I'm going to driving practice, tomorrow, to hopefully see the driving course and get some practice with aforementioned parking.
Does this board have any tips for my driving test next week? I must have these answers. --- Number XII: Larxene. The Organization's Savage Nymph. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You may get an instructor who doesn't care. My driving instructor was like "go around the block... good. You didn't crash. You pass." Since you may not get that kind of instructor, though, all I can think to say is to practice with something like cones. Better than using real cars.

When you take the test, before you start the car, make sure you visibly adjust your mirrors and seat. That is literally a point on the test.
When I parallel park I always drive right past the car I'm parking in front of, until I'm literally almost wheel to wheel even with the car in front of it, and then start backing up and cutting the wheel safely as soon as I can clear the front car (so as to not hit the other car) and then cut the wheel as soon as I need to. Here, watch this .gif over and over, it's literally exactly what I do: Good luck, hope you pass!

tbh, I'm not sure how many times I've actually had to parallel park because I don't do a lot of downtown city driving. It thankfully never came up when I was tested, either.
In general, I suspect a lot of my parking skills (besides just pulling in) are woefully deficient because I mostly just pull in. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ... Copied to Clipboard!

cones My family is too poor to afford a large number of those. We find that practicing with actual cars is more cost-effective, minus the possible collisions when practicing.

I just turn all four wheels to the right and accelerate directly sideways into the spot.

Drive to the side of where you need to park then get out and push/lift the car until it's close enough to the curb.

Oh, you meant parking. I'm sorry for my lack of reading comprehension.

For my driving test, not doing the parallel parking correctly resulted in an automatic fail. On the one hand I understand because that's an accident. But on the other I have never parallel parked since my driving test about 9 years ago. There's always a spot maybe 10 seconds farther down, tops. It's never been worth the hassle for me personally.

From personal experience, instructors are pretty lenient on the parallel parking portion of the exam.

I took mine twice. Where they're gonna get you is little shit like checking your blindspots or not stopping completely.

Man I'd be so pissed if someone practiced parallel parking with my car and hits it. But they're "too poor to afford cones" so are they too poor to afford insurance too? I bet I'd be shit out of luck.
