My test is scheduled for Wednesday and I'm particularly looking for ways to not worry about it. I'm gonna be worrying so much that I won't be able to think and I'll freeze up.

Any other tips would be helpful as well

When the instructor says turn left you should instead floor the accelerator.

I don't think they've rolled out the new test anywhere besides Bel Air, so it should be really fucking easy.

1) Do not let your parent get out of the car until you turned off the car
2) Do not start the car until both you and the examiner are buckled up
3) There's a stop sign about 20 feet after you start moving, don't be that person who doesn't notice it and instantly fails

That's really it, the rest is just knowing how to drive.

/I think I have been upgraded to a full driver's license I passed the 18 month mark on the third, hopefully they've mailed out my attachment card already.

Smoke a spliff for relaxation.
Drink some vodka for confidence.

What's in the new test?

If you mean road tests, those have been mandatory for about a year or more now and they have them at both the Largo and Annapolis DMV which are the only ones I'd take mine at. I'm doing it in Annapolis though, cuz I know the area better and doing the test on 202 would fucking suck anyway, it's a slanted road filled with ignorant drivers. Bad enough I'll have to deal with it when driving normally to PGCC, let alone doing a driving test and having to go the speed limit so every single person tailgates the shit out of me and cuts me off from switching lanes.

Mine was

Test the lights, back out of the parking spot, drive 20ft stop at a stop sign, move to the little course, test brakes, do some more backing up, parralell park, drive about a mile on a designated section of road, left turn, drive, left turn, drive left turn, drive, pull into parking lot, stop, get critiqued, ???, profit.

A paraplegic dog could get a drivers license.

yep I meant road tests, haha I'm glad I got my shit done before that. even though I probably would have passed.

and yeah doing the test on the 202 would blow, I don't like PG county drivers

Here in Austria, one of the more important things to do during the driving test is to check your mirrors (side and rear-view), as well as look over your shoulder before taking over someone.
And the thing is, you have to visually do it by exaggeratedly moving your head, not just look with your eyes, so the tester in the back seats sees it.
Another thing we have to do is, to check the position of the head support and seat belt, and adapt it to your height.

Also, here in Austria, almost everyone makes their test in a driving school, with a driving school car, with your driving instructor on the passenger seat. Those cars have an additional set of pedals on the passenger side, and when during the test, you suddenly feel something weird, it's most likely your instructor, pulling on the gas pedal, subtly indicating you that you're going too fast.
