    If you like the instructor you have maybe it's best sticking with him, the others might be cheaper, but you'll need a couple of lessons with them for them to find out what level you're at

    that's thing I'm worried about too. He's nice, but I don't think I could see him getting me through to the test, but it's early days

    Another thing to keep in mind is that a self employed instructor might want an extra few lessons/payments out of you, where as an employee just wants you to pass and move on to the next one

    that's also the hard bit, trying to work out who's init for the money and who is the best at teaching and wants you to pass

    plus I'm eager, so have booked all 5 lessons for this week (5 lesson deal)

    thought it'd stay fresh in my mind, rather than 1 or 2 hours a week and forgetting it

    Practice what you can in your mind whenever your going anywhere :) mirror, signal, manoeuvre.....check mirrors.....would I have stopped there? When to change gears approaching junctions :) it all helps for when you're in the car

    It really is a case of keep on practicing until they think you're ready :)

    Once you get the hang of biting point and changing gears the rest is easy :)......apart from reversing :blush:

    and checking each pocket as you're walking? :D

    and one that's not trying to get as much money out of you as possible!
