try to find a good private instructor. Do not go to BSM or other schools because their just want to make money from you. Normally, you can pass the practical test after 20 hours. But, if you go to BSM, maybe you need over 100 hours. My friend had the experience with BSM. You can buy a DVD on how to pass your practical driving test. It shows you the important aspects one by one with vedio. It is really good before your driving tests
