I'm taking my license test this Monday and I'm wondering if there is anything I need to know, or any good advice to help me out. Anything will help me, I am very nervous about not passing.
Also, is there a written portion to the license test, like the permit test, or is it strictly a behind-the-wheel test?

When I took the test a few years ago there wasn't a written portion. For some reason I thought there was one, but there wasn't. My advice would be to just relax and pretend that you're out practicing with no pressure. Be very cautious and almost exaggerate everything - looking both ways, looking over shoulder when switching lanes etc. I was worried about having to a full on parallel park (I suck at it lol) but I didn't have to. Good luck!!!

you need to take and PASS the written test BEFORE they let you drive. If you don't have an appointment you won't get in. You have to have a car to take the test (make sure it's an automatic). They don't usually let you take the written and driving on the same day. (not enough people to do that.)

Learn how to use your arm to signal left, right and stop. Don't turn the steering wheel early while waiting to turn a corner because they failed me for bumping a curb a little bit my first time. Strictly behind-the-wheel. Good luck! I'm getting mine the 13th too.

you need a written before

for the behind the wheel practice driving in the area of the DMV so your used to the traffic and intersections. The behind the wheel is all about practice, don't be nervous! If you dont pass its not the end of the world, you can retake it.
