Hey everyone,

I’m struggling with passing the G test and honestly just need to vent/get some perspective. I’ve been driving for some time now, but I can’t seem to stop making "rookie" mistakes during the actual road test.

My Timeline:

• Dec 2021: Passed G1
• May 2022: Failed G2 (1st attempt). Hesitated while turning left at a busy intersection.
• July 2022: Passed G2.
• Nov 2025: Failed G (1st attempt). I was turning right into a residential area and stopped when there was no stop sign. Examiner cited me for impeding traffic/predictability.
• May 2026: Failed G (2nd attempt). This one hurts. I was being "extra" cautious, scanning for pedestrians and traffic while waiting to turn right on red. I was so focused on the scan that I missed the light changing to an advanced green. The bus behind me honked, and it was an instant fail.

The examiners have been nothing but kind, polite, and professional. This isn't a "mean examiner" story. I feel like I’m over-analyzing everything because of the test pressure, which leads to these technical errors that I’d never make in my daily commute. Has anyone else dealt with "test brain" where you over-complicate simple things? Any tips?
