OMG this year i did a incredible thing.. I signed up for Class 3A Autocar driving at SSDC on Jan 17! In case you dunno whats that, it stands for Singapore Safety Driving Centre at some ulu Woodlands area. (Link here -> https://www.ssdcl.com.sg/Courses/Class?course=33A)
Fast forward to today, i had just passed my FTT (Final Theory Test)! Like freshly graduated just 3 hours ago HAHA! 49/50! Super proud me :D
FYI, I passed my BTT (Basic Theory Test) on 4 Feb (also 49/50 :D) and had to wait like so long to finally book and pass their trial test and FTT. Everything got to wait and wait till neck long long..
Another part that my neck grew long is also of the long queue for Practicals. I had booked since 4 Feb, right after i passed my BTT and quickly apply for my PDL (Provisional Driving licence). This sat 18 Mar im finally going to touch a car LOL. My first and 2nd lesson, hope its not too xiong and instructors also. pls pls :P
I done a excel to calculate my total spendings just for this learning journey. Till today i had spend the below:
| Description | Fees | Quantity | Total cost |
| Enrolment | $96.30 | 1 | $96.30 |
| Theory Lesson | $69.55 | 1 | $69.55 |
| Theory trial test for BTT | $4.28 | 2 | $8.56 |

EEE POK LIAO. Can someone sponsor me? :x ahhaa
Some points to note:
1) If book through their blue kiosks at SSDC, no need to pay the $1.07 internet fee. Small amount can add up you know?
2) I recommend that to book for 2 theory trial tests in the same day, so that you can set the first as a practice where there are unlimited questions that you can try with answers given. Then the 2nd session you can do the real trial test. This helps me a lot to know what type of questions they may ask..sometimes the same questions appear in my real trial test! BTW i pass my theory test 50/50 for BTT :) I also went online to find some questions to try on such as this -> https://www.sgdriving.org/
Jiayo to you who want to start on this driving journey too! Shall update soon ^^
