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 !!
@@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.
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?
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.
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 .
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!!
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
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.
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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 UA-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
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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
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 🍀
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.
@@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!
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
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.
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
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.
@@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!
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
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 today February 4th 2022🙌🏽at largo and it’s raining, everyone take your time don’t run the stop sign before you start the test and remember to use your signals
@@nadajoe6401 hello there pull in park was hard for me when practicing reverse park was easy for me than pull in park please take your time and adjust if you feel like you’re going to hit cone all the best you’ll be fine good luck
@@bimalachhantyal1244 interesting. I wanted to know your strategy / technique for reverse parking if you have one . Like what reference point or how do you line up ya car
What's weird is they aren't doing a turnabout or a pull in, just a blind side back in and driving in the box with the stop sign and then out on the road, I feel like they dumbed down the test
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.
Thanks for the video! I have my test today, and I keep affirming to myself that I will pass! I’ll update y’all soon! Edit: I failed, because of nerves. I’m going back August 4th! Edit: I passed! Once I got over my anxieties, it was a breeze!!
@@cayladenae4782 probably passed. The parking spots are massive. It should be dead easy. I have my test tomorrow, hopefully I’ll pass. I’ll let you guys know, unlike this person
hey everyone! Glory to God I passed !! this video was very helpful! there are some things that are changed with this test (2024): 1. You only do reverse parking (no front and no 3 point turn) 2. Right after that you leave the course and go onto the road 3. Be mindful of bike lanes and the fire station near by (don’t block the front of it ) All in all , Trust God and practice!!
I did not pass today on July 22, 2024 😭 Here are some tips!! Pay attention to what the instructor says!! And the first thing they’ll ask you to do is reverse parking once you’re in the lane. The first thing she told me was to go right then take a left to the first lane, I heard that but didn’t really pay attention and went way too far ahead and had to go back but still went to the wrong lane 🤦🏽♀️ She probably took points out for that. Then when I went to the second lane, she told me to go forward and stop at the cone. I did that. Then she told me to go forward and do reverse parking. Guess what. I DIDN’T DO THAT 😭 I asked if it was front parking and she said yes (but that was probably in my head). So I had to go forward and do the reverse parking but I did park correctly and was almost in until I exceeded the three minutes and failed the test 😔 The lady was polite but was a bit intimidating so that might’ve been the reason why I was extra nervous. I felt like I was going to cry but then I thought about it, it’s not the end of the world. I’m going to take it again on the 26th and hopefully I pass 🙏 So just a reminder, not everyone passes on the first time! You may see the comments on this video and get sad after getting hyped up for the test and then failing, but remember everyone’s experience is different. You either pass or fail. It could be the instructor, it could be that you’re too nervous, it could be that you need more practice, etc. Don’t freak out if you don’t pass the first time, it happens to many people. But still aim to pass on the first time rather than going with the mindset that you’re going to fail. Do whatever is needed to calm down, like take a walk in the morning. Oh right and also, SLEEP WELL, EAT BREAKFAST OR TAKE A SNACK, AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER. If you have insomnia, try to take more naps earlier in the day and sleep earlier than you usually do (and maybe drink tea or have a whiff of medical alcohol, whatever is needed to help you sleep faster but won’t harm you in the morning 😅). If it takes a while to sleep, drink tea, read a book before going to bed, no phone, get ready for bed way earlier than usual, and then sleep earlier than usual. Anything to get yourself well rested, do it. Hope y’all pass on the first try! If not, the second try! Or maybe even the third, fourth, or fifth try! Keep persevering y’all!! 💕
It's ok. I failt my first drivers test back at the Largo obstacle course back in aught 98'. Had a mean cop riding with me in a rainstorm, and was trying to get my license so i could take my date to senior prom. Ended up taking a limo........
This is the driver's test rn, so get it while it's still easy lol. I got mine today! But I herd it's gonna go back to the regular test (instructor gets in car with you and y'all drive on the road) starting June 6 2022
hi! my test is this upcoming Saturday! I’m super nervous 😬😬 does anyone have good tips for pulling in? When I practice I keep hitting one of the two front cones…
The cones are huge with flags sticking out jus slant a lil to the left before you turn your wheel all the way to the right to pull in remember take your time
@@Prfctlysaid no I didn’t because it wasn’t a full turn I was doing I was just trying to Angle myself before I turned in I only turned it on when I turned right into the parking space good luck!!!!
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
Thanks for the video, passed on my first try and this helped. The "3 point turn" is confusing since it's not something you would use in regular driving. Not difficult, just confusing.
You do this specific kind of maneuver if you are going down a road and arrive at a dead end and need to turn around. Not common but not impossible to encounter.
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 ?
Today I failed my test, after I pulled in the examiner told me to pull back and back up. I never knew he wanted me to back up to where he was standing so that he can give me another instruction. So I pulled out, drove to the front and back up into the cone…. So he said I failed. I wish I’m able to pass it next time.
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
@@shogunscorner2774 thank you. i actually passed my skills test the other day and didn’t need to adjust 🥳. im just glad that that’s over. thank you again🙌🏼
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. 😂
I passed last week and just got my license in the mail. Anyone should be able to pass cause this test is the easiest thing ever. If you fail you better spend more time behind the wheel, good luck to everyone.
Does anyone know how far you’re supposed to drive passed the parking space to reverse park??? I practiced in a regular parking space before my test for over an hour and successfully reverse parked each and every time without hitting any cones because I drove passed two spaces ahead of the parking space I intended to enter. I took it in Waldorf and failed because when it was time to reverse park I first drove passed the parking space but couldn’t properly estimate where to stop and turn my wheel all the way to the right because the spaces in front of me were not even like a regular parking lot. I accidentally turned the wheel too early and before i knew it my car was behind the space I was supposed to enter. If I were thinking logically, I would have immediately drove passed the parking space even further to reverse but I panicked due to my nerves and tried to adjust my mistake by seeing if I could magically turn and steer my wheel into the right spot . Long story short the lady said I was taking too long and failed me. 😭😂
I used a measuring point which consisted of placing the left cone, if you are looking at the box in front of you, to the end of my rear passenger side window. If you see you wont make it into the space the first time you back up, simply move forward as seen on the video, adjust, then back up again.
@@shogunscorner2774 Thank you! I just figured out that for my vehicle’s size the front left cone has to actually be in the middle of my rear window before I reverse. I practiced a few days ago and parked perfectly every time without hitting any cones! It’s always best to also know reference points behind you and not just relying on the spaces in front of you to reverse park because you may not always get even spaces like a regular parking lot. The last time I took the test I only relied on the spaces in front of me which put me in a very unfamiliar situation which resulted in me failing. I was so confused and upset because I practiced driving two spaces forward before the test that morning and consistently reverse parked successfully. It completely slipped my mind that I should’ve also been checking behind me to make sure that cone was properly aligned in the rear window before reversing to increase the odds of me making it. My new test is on May 15th and I’m way more confident in myself!
I just came back to say I passed!!! I took my test at the glen burnie location and the test was extremely easy. My advice is to take your time and everything will go super smoothly!!!
try not to use it at all. the mirrors are more important and sometimes you can get failed if you use the backup camera too much. if u practice without relying on it, you will be good!
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.
Any tips for the pull in ? I failed mine today retaking soon
@@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
@@aniyahmoody8624 thank you !!
do they not take u out on the road?
Hi do you know if you’re allowed to use your back up camera on the exam?
@@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

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 !!

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.
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
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
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
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?

@@fummytommy5089 just now seeing this , I went with my brothers car.
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?
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

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.
Was your instructor is the car with you when you did your reverse parking ?
They don’t do 3 point turns anymore?
Watched this video multiple times, including others and I passed my drivers skills test today at the MVA out Essex. Thank you! 👏🏽
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.
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 .
Congratulations
If you dont mind me asking, what did they fail you for?
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
Congrats!!
It's so much driving u have to do
@@HotandSpicy87 It’s really not. It’s like changing spots in a parking lot. The test will be over in just a few minutes.
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
]I koi
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?
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!
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
U not lying about to tired and bitter part , like I be hoping I get some nice white lady unfortunately smh
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 UA-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
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 !!

I passed my test yesterday, I was so nervous but I did it!! This video was very helpful. Good luck to you all 😊
Test is still modified ? No public road ?
@@Shadow-uz4bq yep still modified! The driving school I went to taught me what will be on the test and I just practiced it over and over again
@@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! :)
@@veotic2728 u think it will be modified in october
@@veotic2728 thankyou my test on august 24 in easton location
I FINALLY PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! Thanks for all your help! 😊❤️🎉🎉🎉
I was literally nervous for nothing
Congrats!!
Where did you park after the 3 point turn course?
@@kingindica after you did the forward park how far did they have you back up before you backed in parked?
Did you rent a car or you have yours already. I also want to take the test but don't have a car. I don't know where to rent
Im nervous just watching but i notice you went slow and steady so I will follow in your footsteps :)
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!
Good luck on your test
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
Any advice on reverse parking ?
@@nadajoe6401 reverse slowly and always turn and watch the back and side mirrors
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.
ah wow not a good situation to be in, but Im sure you will pass this time, best of luck to you.
Literally the same thing happened to my father they made him fail after being a driver for 45 years at the three point turn
Is the spacing the same at Westminster
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.
Just took my test yesterday and passed thanks 😊
Me too!
Was the Parking spaces big enough for you to park with no errors?
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
I take my test today! Glad I watched agent Cody banks and know how to pass with flying colors!
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?
@@A1325-q1l you don’t have to do the lane change for my knowledge.
Thank you for this informative road test video. I just passed today a couple of hours ago at the Largo branch as well.
Was it the simular to this one
@@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!
Pls can you tell me where to rent a car. I want to take the road test but I don't have a car
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
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?
As many times as you need but you only have 3 minutes to perform each maneuver
Just passed today! This video helped me a lot. Thank you.
Can you tell me parking spot is bigger or normal
@@Shadow-uz4bq It's a bit bigger than a normal parking spot.
I take mine tmr. in Jesus almighty name I will pass whew! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Me too!
How’d it go
@@anthonymyers177 good! i passed
Amen
Took my test today and passed. March 5,2022. This video is exactly what you’ll be doing !
I Passed today February 4th 2022🙌🏽at largo and it’s raining, everyone take your time don’t run the stop sign before you start the test and remember to use your signals
Well done.
Hello how was it ive mine next week I’m so nervous please help me
@@bimalachhantyal1244 any advice on reverse parking ? How did you do ?
@@nadajoe6401 hello there pull in park was hard for me when practicing reverse park was easy for me than pull in park please take your time and adjust if you feel like you’re going to hit cone all the best you’ll be fine good luck
@@bimalachhantyal1244 interesting. I wanted to know your strategy / technique for reverse parking if you have one . Like what reference point or how do you line up ya car
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
What's weird is they aren't doing a turnabout or a pull in, just a blind side back in and driving in the box with the stop sign and then out on the road, I feel like they dumbed down the test
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 ?
Just got my license, i’m so happy!!!
Congratulations
do they care if you resverse it like the position way or as long as you in can reverse it in the in cones ? anyone please
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!!
I Pass My Test At Reisterstown MVA. You Guys Got This Don't Let Your Nerves Get The Best Of You 💯
Thanks for the video! I have my test today, and I keep affirming to myself that I will pass! I’ll update y’all soon!
Edit: I failed, because of nerves. I’m going back August 4th!
Edit: I passed! Once I got over my anxieties, it was a breeze!!
How did it go?
How'd it go!
@@cayladenae4782 probably passed. The parking spots are massive. It should be dead easy. I have my test tomorrow, hopefully I’ll pass. I’ll let you guys know, unlike this person
This video help me a lot , I pass it on my first try
@@ibeenfly341 hi. Are they still modified?
I took my test 2 days ago at largo and this video definitely helped me pass thank you!!!
I have my test at this location next Friday!!! This is the same place I got my permit from and I am actually scared but I'm also excited!!!
hey everyone! Glory to God I passed !! this video was very helpful! there are some things that are changed with this test (2024):
1. You only do reverse parking (no front and no 3 point turn)
2. Right after that you leave the course and go onto the road
3. Be mindful of bike lanes and the fire station near by (don’t block the front of it )
All in all , Trust God and practice!!
I did not pass today on July 22, 2024 😭
Here are some tips!! Pay attention to what the instructor says!! And the first thing they’ll ask you to do is reverse parking once you’re in the lane. The first thing she told me was to go right then take a left to the first lane, I heard that but didn’t really pay attention and went way too far ahead and had to go back but still went to the wrong lane 🤦🏽♀️ She probably took points out for that. Then when I went to the second lane, she told me to go forward and stop at the cone. I did that. Then she told me to go forward and do reverse parking. Guess what. I DIDN’T DO THAT 😭 I asked if it was front parking and she said yes (but that was probably in my head). So I had to go forward and do the reverse parking but I did park correctly and was almost in until I exceeded the three minutes and failed the test 😔 The lady was polite but was a bit intimidating so that might’ve been the reason why I was extra nervous. I felt like I was going to cry but then I thought about it, it’s not the end of the world. I’m going to take it again on the 26th and hopefully I pass 🙏
So just a reminder, not everyone passes on the first time! You may see the comments on this video and get sad after getting hyped up for the test and then failing, but remember everyone’s experience is different. You either pass or fail. It could be the instructor, it could be that you’re too nervous, it could be that you need more practice, etc. Don’t freak out if you don’t pass the first time, it happens to many people. But still aim to pass on the first time rather than going with the mindset that you’re going to fail. Do whatever is needed to calm down, like take a walk in the morning. Oh right and also, SLEEP WELL, EAT BREAKFAST OR TAKE A SNACK, AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER. If you have insomnia, try to take more naps earlier in the day and sleep earlier than you usually do (and maybe drink tea or have a whiff of medical alcohol, whatever is needed to help you sleep faster but won’t harm you in the morning 😅). If it takes a while to sleep, drink tea, read a book before going to bed, no phone, get ready for bed way earlier than usual, and then sleep earlier than usual. Anything to get yourself well rested, do it. Hope y’all pass on the first try! If not, the second try! Or maybe even the third, fourth, or fifth try! Keep persevering y’all!! 💕
Just passed at Hagerstown thanks you this video ! I was just like this except you do the 3-point turn first good luck everyone
@@hannahyoung4021 The space at Largo is a normal parking spot size , theres plenty of room to go forward and back up.
It's ok. I failt my first drivers test back at the Largo obstacle course back in aught 98'. Had a mean cop riding with me in a rainstorm, and was trying to get my license so i could take my date to senior prom. Ended up taking a limo........
Did they change it back to pre-covid ways?
This is the driver's test rn, so get it while it's still easy lol. I got mine today! But I herd it's gonna go back to the regular test (instructor gets in car with you and y'all drive on the road) starting June 6 2022
Do you think I should be good for may 21st?
@@jugg1kk59 it changes June 6 2022……. And May is before June…..🤦🏽♀️ duh lol
Thank u bruh for this, I passed at my 2:30pm appointment today.
Glad the Vid helped.
Does anyone know if the test is still the same as this, with the instructor not in the car with you?
It is
I have my test tomorrow and I’m so excited and nervous at the same time!!! Hopefully I pass!
Best of luck.
Thanks this video helped me pass my test yesterday 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great job!
Congratulations brotha
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.ua-cam.com/video/NW8iGkawXbg/v-deo.html
hi! my test is this upcoming Saturday! I’m super nervous 😬😬 does anyone have good tips for pulling in? When I practice I keep hitting one of the two front cones…
The cones are huge with flags sticking out jus slant a lil to the left before you turn your wheel all the way to the right to pull in remember take your time
@@shauntaboone735 did you turn on your left blinker when you turned slightly to the left?
@@Prfctlysaid no I didn’t because it wasn’t a full turn I was doing I was just trying to Angle myself before I turned in I only turned it on when I turned right into the parking space good luck!!!!
@@shauntaboone735 thank you! I’ll try!
@@shauntaboone735 thank u!!
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?
Thanks for the video, passed on my first try and this helped. The "3 point turn" is confusing since it's not something you would use in regular driving. Not difficult, just confusing.
hey, pls are you supposed to make sure you are in the middle box in the 3 point turn and are back cameras permitted?
@@morints The lines don't matter for the 3 point turn Just don't hit the curbs. Oh, and backing cameras are allowed.
You do this specific kind of maneuver if you are going down a road and arrive at a dead end and need to turn around. Not common but not impossible to encounter.
Really the best test video I’ve seen. Without question this vid helped me pass
Great to hear!
Does anyone have tips on reversing?
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.
Today I failed my test, after I pulled in the examiner told me to pull back and back up. I never knew he wanted me to back up to where he was standing so that he can give me another instruction. So I pulled out, drove to the front and back up into the cone…. So he said I failed. I wish I’m able to pass it next time.
Sorry to hear. You will get it next time. Guaranteed.
The exact same thing happened to me when I took the test 3 weeks ago
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?
Hi. Im taking my skills test tomorrow. Is it ok to adjust when doing two point reverse parking or does it have to be perfect?
You can adjust as much as you'd like as long as you don't run out of time
@@shogunscorner2774 thank you. i actually passed my skills test the other day and didn’t need to adjust 🥳. im just glad that that’s over. thank you again🙌🏼
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.

I passed last week and just got my license in the mail. Anyone should be able to pass cause this test is the easiest thing ever. If you fail you better spend more time behind the wheel, good luck to everyone.
Yout a life saver for this video
Hope it helped you out.
I take mine in 2 days on October 2, 2021 in Waldorf. I'm so nervous. 😬
Good luck , mine is Oct 6 in Largo
@@eyobdebebe3336 Good luck to you! I didn't pass today. I ran out of time backing up parking. I gotta retake it another day. I hope you pass!
Did they ask any road or sign questions or anything else before you started parking?
They asked me to turn on my turn signals before i did this.
Does anyone know how far you’re supposed to drive passed the parking space to reverse park??? I practiced in a regular parking space before my test for over an hour and successfully reverse parked each and every time without hitting any cones because I drove passed two spaces ahead of the parking space I intended to enter. I took it in Waldorf and failed because when it was time to reverse park I first drove passed the parking space but couldn’t properly estimate where to stop and turn my wheel all the way to the right because the spaces in front of me were not even like a regular parking lot. I accidentally turned the wheel too early and before i knew it my car was behind the space I was supposed to enter. If I were thinking logically, I would have immediately drove passed the parking space even further to reverse but I panicked due to my nerves and tried to adjust my mistake by seeing if I could magically turn and steer my wheel into the right spot . Long story short the lady said I was taking too long and failed me. 😭😂
I used a measuring point which consisted of placing the left cone, if you are looking at the box in front of you, to the end of my rear passenger side window. If you see you wont make it into the space the first time you back up, simply move forward as seen on the video, adjust, then back up again.
After she failed u, you just left?
@@complicity4015 yeah lmao
@@shogunscorner2774 Thank you! I just figured out that for my vehicle’s size the front left cone has to actually be in the middle of my rear window before I reverse. I practiced a few days ago and parked perfectly every time without hitting any cones! It’s always best to also know reference points behind you and not just relying on the spaces in front of you to reverse park because you may not always get even spaces like a regular parking lot. The last time I took the test I only relied on the spaces in front of me which put me in a very unfamiliar situation which resulted in me failing. I was so confused and upset because I practiced driving two spaces forward before the test that morning and consistently reverse parked successfully. It completely slipped my mind that I should’ve also been checking behind me to make sure that cone was properly aligned in the rear window before reversing to increase the odds of me making it. My new test is on May 15th and I’m way more confident in myself!
@@kingindica what kind of car do u have?
I failed at Waldorf. I hit a cone backing out. Next test is in 2 weeks. Just got to practice more
Hi guys, is there still no road test? I heard the parking was the only part but I’m not sure
As far as i know, the test consists of only the parking, not road tests.
I just came back to say I passed!!! I took my test at the glen burnie location and the test was extremely easy. My advice is to take your time and everything will go super smoothly!!!
I take mine next week, and I will pass!!!
If you have a backup camera, can you use that?
try not to use it at all. the mirrors are more important and sometimes you can get failed if you use the backup camera too much. if u practice without relying on it, you will be good!
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 🤷
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 will take it tomorrow! I Hope everything goes well! 🙏🏼
This video looks helpful I need to do my practice again. My exam coming on June 19
How did you do??
