I better go again soon as my 5 year window expires in July...so thanks for asking this question, cause it helps me out too!  |
I took standard when I got my G 2 weeks ago. Piece of cake. When I took drivers ed, they told me that only 2 of the 8 examiners know how to mark standard. If you gear down, and try not to change gears in the intersections you'll be fine. For my G test, It was exactly the same as G2 + highway driving. Make sure you merge at the speed limit, and dont start slowing down until you have entered the deceleration lane. Other than that you should be fine. I believe that they allow you 31 errors through out the test, and my examiner told me that the average number was 15, and I had 11. BTW, I had one of the standard examiners, and he said that I drove standard exceptionally well. They aren't as strict as you think, and if you have one slightly rough shift they won't nail you for it, and if they do, its not nearly enough to cause you to fail.
Good luck!
