We just had our daughter go through this last week! I suggest going to the Cranston DMV and watch the cars taking the test. They do it right in plain view in the parking lot. Had I known I would have taken my daughter to watch so she'd know what she was in for. They also have a video on youtube you can watch. It is so weird to me that they don't test on any kind of road. It's all about parking, stopping, a little back up and a turn. But she passed!

I took my test in august and there is a video on YouTube that takes you through the RI road test course and I REALLY recommend watching that. After watching the video a few times I went to a school parking lot after hours that has a bunch of cones in it and just arranged all the cones the exact way it showed in the video and I was able to practice the exact course until I felt comfortable. Truly I think that was the main reason of why I did so good on my road test

I also just want to say that the parallel parking portion of the test was quite easy and it was for sure the part I was most worried about. Also I’m not sure if you scheduled the appointment for providence or for Cranston but I did mine at providence and the instructors stand in the parking lot right next to your car and they really help talk you through it all!
