Perhaps you should just do us all a favor and give up.
The system is badly flawed & anyone who fails 3 driving tests in a row should be required to start back at their G1. |

I changed my lane when I wasn't asked to do so during my full G test and I still passed. |
I sped up to 120 to pass a slow-merging truck and still passed.
Honestly, how the hell do you fail a driving test in Ontario? No wonder the traffic is always such . |

| G is much tougher to get than G2 but still extremely easy compared to driving tests in europe. |

Seriously dude, unless the first thing you say to your examiner is "I F#$##d your mother" I have no idea how you can fail that test. |
I asked myself the exact same thing.
I passed mine on the first attempt, after practicing just for 3 hours.
The worst part is that since I got it (2 1/2 years ago) I haven't driven once, until last Saturday, when I realized I can not drive. :p |

I passed on the first try.
The G test is almost entirely based on your observation skills. Make sure you're audible about the potential dangers that you notice. Point out the dude walking his dog or the kids running around on their front yard. Importantly, make sure you "left-right-left" at EVERY intersection, and check your blind spot before turning right, in case there's a guy on a bike you know :p (two mistakes that are often made).
In the meantime, don't break the speed limit on city streets, and drive with the flow of traffic on the highway (I was almost ed by a transport truck on my test because I wouldn't break 100, the tester told me to speed up and get in front of the truck, which required a speed of 120).
Thirdly... 4 times dude? Did you even bother to ask what you did wrong in each test? |

exactly. i was always glancing at my mirrors and made sure the examiner saw it. they want to see that you are aware of your surroundings. |

I failed once because the tester said I was driving too slow in a construction zone! There pure gravel on the road being prepared for paving and the tester said I was obstructing traffic by not going the posted limit. I explained it was a limit, not a rule, and you are allowed by Ontario law to drive at a speed which you find safe.
I thought it was safe considering any faster I was digging myself into fresh gravel and spinning up rocks everywhere!
THEN on my way back to the facility, he dinged me in reverse because I got up to 100km/h on a onramp to get onto the expressway which almost immediately became 80km/h for another construction zone and he said I was speeding...
I went and complained to the manager and they let me take the test again that afternoon without paying anymore fees and I got 100.
Now, maybe you got that guy, 4 times... |

| passed my G on the first try. 98%. 2 points off for not checking the blind spot when i went into a left turn lane which was complete BS considering it was one of those lanes you drove straight into as opposed to actually changing lanes. |
