All I had to do was drive on Macleod to anderson then down Elbow to Heritage and back onto Macleod and to the registry. No parking or anything. I don't even know what I got graded on (besides stopping to close to the car in front which I got deducted for, meh)
Wow, I was in before the GDL but my test didn't take me anywhere close to a road as busy as Macleod. I tested at the crowfoot registry and drove around the community of Ranchlands for maybe 15 mins, during which I had to 'parallel park' along a street with no cars, turned left onto John Laurie and right back to the registry. I was so mad I had 'wasted' my time doing the whole AMA training thing for that joke of a test. (*don't think the AMA test is actually a waste at all, just did when I was 16, I'm probably a much better driver for it)
