The closed course test just kind of keeps you more focused and has the hazards/obstacles/driving situations closer together IMHO. Years ago, I drove my daughter to take her test on the closed course in Arden Hills or Blaine after I'd worked nights and I managed to turn the wrong way on all of the streets of the course and even drove through the vehicle inspection point the wrong way!

My daughter was so embarrassed; but they didn't take my license away; I was just sleep deprived! I don't know anything about the course in Eagan, but I do think that they tend to trick you by telling you to 'take the next right' when you are approaching a one way going left.

Best Answer: I know that this is a difficult experience, but the best advice anyone can give you is to chill. It's not the end of the world if you fail, but your goal is to achieve. Practice like crazy with everything from parking to whatever else you aren't 100% comfortable with.

I know that a lot of her classmates and other student drivers were told that and flunked because they did turn the wrong way on the one way. Hi, In the next month or so, I'll hopefully be taking the road test to (finally) get my driver's license. I live in Eagan, which has a 'closed course' road test. I've heard that closed courses are more difficult than open. If anyone has taken a closed course road test (or even better, Eagan's), can you offer some advice on what to expect? What should I be -sure- to know for the test?

What is so different about a closed course test? DBjork I have a few friends who have taken it there, they said a its pretty easy, just -watch out for the uncontrolled intersection part, it comes up fast I guess -watch out for one ways.

-Be a goody two shoe and use all the mirros when changing lanes. -Practice parking as well When you take it can you give me some advice cause im taking it in about 3 months. I took my driver's test in Eagan many, many years ago. From what I found, then, is that if you pay attention, over exaggerate looking from left to right, listen to your instructions carefully you will do fine. I know that when they want you do do a quick stop they simply say stop, not loudly, not suddenly, just in normal conversation.
