Default NSW licensing tests - going from P2 to full licence

as title suggests, its now time for me to move off my P's and onto my full licence. I know how much it costs, but im wondering what the test involves? Is it an on-road test, or a computer based one?

It is a computer based one as I am also about to do the test. Its like the P2 test, touch screen when you think it is appropriate ect but it will be many secanerios happening during the one video. Also there are statistical questions. Like what is the % of accidents occur head on? Dont know how statistics make you a better driver but there you go Austin.

i did it a little while back, the first bit was like the Ls test (multiple choice dead easy questions) and then the HPT. the hardest part of the test is opening your wallet.

Ohh the joys of getting your licesnse over 19 years ago when you did 10 questions a quick drive around the block with the copper and then your on your p's, 3 mths later straight onto your open license. Better make sure I hang on to it, stuff going through all this crap that you do today....

yeah its a computer test... when i did my original P1 test, i did a shocking reverse parallel park.. im normally pretty good at them... so i just flirted with the no so appealing examiner woman, and BAM i passed. i reverse park all day everyday... i just get retarded at it when people are in the car with me.
