I really wanted to know what to expect. If anyone remembers what you have to do during the test, or has any suggestions or tips; they would be quite welcome.

You'll have to do a K turn, parrallel park, and possibly a U-Turn or circle or something of the like. How hard it will be normally depends on the instructor, cause they determine how much you do and how easily they grade you.

My instructor had me parallel park, drive around a bit (stop signs, speed limits, that kind of thing) stop, back up, stop, and go forward again (don't use your rearview mirror, actually turn around and look) and also park on the side of the road in the manner i would if it were an upward slope. Then, of course, parking in the parking lot back at the building. It was easy.

If you are driving backwards, look backwards like BobTheMasher said, and make sure you come to a complete stop before facing forward again. In other words, don't face forward a coast backwards a few feet.

Hope you don't get the fat lady!

Hehe, the "fat lady" was my instructor, and she was a total...well, ya know. It took me 3 tries to get my license.

Just relax, pace yourself, and you should be fine. And do everything you instructor tells you.
