Does anyone here have any experience with the road test at this DMV location? I have my test in a few days and I don't have any idea of what to expect route or maneuverer wise. What were you tested on, do you have any tips, was there parallel parking or backing in? Thanks.

Presumably that is (or should be) part of the test at all locations.

I'm not sure. I've heard that it varies. In any case, it would just be helpful to know what to expect.

How about just expect it all and be fine with that because you are extremely skilled with all maneuvers? And of you aren't, you aren't ready for your test.

Didn't take it at this location but it was basically - leave the DMV parking lot, take a few laps on local streets around the DMV, return to parking lot, the end. If you want to be prepared, practice on the roads around the DMV and look out for anything unusual like say roundabouts and prepare for that as it's not unlikely they'd test you on that.

^^^^I second this.

Years ago, I took my road test at the Sterling DMV. It was basically driving around nearby side streets. I was surprised as to just how uncomplicated it was.
