I assume Ohio isn't too different from North Carolina... my daughter failed the test at the course. She got nervous and went outside a line a few inches, and that's all it took. It didn't matter much though, since NC gives free testing. On our trip to Deals Gap a few weeks later, we went into Robbinsville and she took the road test there and passed. That being a small town, she was the only one taking it, and it was very low pressure.

It's a shame the MSF doesn't have a way to do a re-test without having to pay full price for the course again. My daughter couldn't afford another $200+ dollars, and didn't want me to pay for her mistake. A person really gets punished for having test anxiety.
