CIKGU NORDIN FROM DRIVING SKEM ACADEMY

Hello readers! I am finally back with a new post, sorry i was surely busy to blog. Okay, straight to
the post! Today I am giving u guys all the useful tips and tricks on how to get ur license or ur P!
Malaysians or international, it's applicable if u read this. I'll be telling u guys what not to do and
what is mandatory, so please hold on!

First, how many parts u need to participate in order to pass? There's 2 parts! Part 2 and Part 3, Part
2 is where u'll be doing from Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan (RPK) or the so called Routine Vehicle
Inspections, Rutin Sebelum Memandu (RSM) or Routine Before Driving. Next, u'll have to continue
with the hill test, parking, 3 pointer and Selekoh Z and Selekoh S or in english, it is just a Z-shaped
and S-shaped road (this is the easiest part, but the easiest came in last)

Part 3 is where you'll be tested on the road with the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ). Here u'll
start with RSM and CITO (I'll explain this later)

Okay guys here is the documents, that u can see what u need to do and what is mandatory, just in
case u were too nervous and clumsy, u might forget to do these mandatory steps which is an
automatic disqualification or in other word, u just failed.

*Please take note that i had crop a few parts for my privacy (my ic number, signature, etc)

I will start with Bahagian 3/Part 3 cause i was tested on this part first

Okay guys now that u have read everything that is mandatory for u to pass now let's go to the notes
ay

For Bahagian 3/ Part 3 or as known as the on the road test

I don't know about you guys but i took my license at Skem Driving Academy in Gombak,so it differs
from one place to another as the road will be different as well, however here is the tips to pass the
test :-

As u are waiting for the JPJ to score the student before u, go ahead, please wait outside until the
student went off, then give salam (if u're a muslim) or say good morning/afternoon/evening to the
JPJ on duty.
I am warning you, please please pleasee if u have the chance choose a guy on duty instead of a lady
cause a lady...they'll be on their period all the time even if they're not. Let me tell u based on my
experience for the first time i was tested which i failed.

I was too nervous and i couldn't control it, then i waited for the JPJ to finish scoring the guy before
me, as i entered the car, i didn't quickly close the door, but that's not the problem. Even as i waited
outside, she seemed so pissed off on something. Maybe she's tired or maybe she hates her job.

So i could feel that this it a bad sign. She scolded and shouted at me for not closing the doors
quickly, i mean like "hello, i paid for this test, could u please be patient lady?" but of course i kept it
to myself or else i'll never pass until today.

This was my first test so the syllabus was very different from the one i'm telling you guys now, this is
just a story so yeah. When she scolded me, i forgot almost everything, so i turned off the engine
cause i thought that was how my teacher taught me. Then she shouted again and scolded "WOI KAU
BUAT APA NI,TAK BELAJAR KE" it means in english "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?DID U EVEN
LEARN HOW TO DRIVE?!!" It was harsh but i did not cry just yet. As i was too nervous, with the
engine off, i tried to give a signal to the right and she was taking a long note on what i did. Then i
turned on the engine and gave the signal and straight away drove to the nearest traffic light. U
should have known that in the road test, ur car engine SHOULD NOT be dead more than twice as the
effect of you FULLY LIFTING ur left leg from the clutch paddle, if u're using gear 1, you should press
and hold ur clutch while pushing the gas/oil paddle. Because of this, i failed. She asked me to
switch places, the funniest parts was, i wasn't even on the road yet, that angry lady failed me while
we're still in the driving school. IT SUCKS. If a JPJ on duty asked you to switch places with him/her,
it means u had just fail.

I failed the first part of the first test on Bahagian 2/ Part 2 , which was the hill test. Please be
informed that this was the old syllabus so there was no Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan (RPK)/ Routine
Vehicle Inspections, Rutin Sebelum Memandu (RSM) or Routine Before Driving.

Why i failed? Cause as i was driving up the hill and stopped in the yellow line, i think my car had
reverse a bit and went out of the yellow line. They saw it that's why they asked me to get out. But i
was fine cause no one was shouting nor scolding at me, cause unlike the road test lady, what was
the point of you shouting and scolding me cause i failed anyway. Does it change anything for you to
scold me that bad? I want to write ur name here, it starts with an A and ends with the letter N. One
word, 7 letters. But I'm kind enough not to tell it here, cause it's not noble of me doing that. So i
forgive you, i forgave u actually, long time ago. No worries madam!

I don't understand some part. There's RSM in Part 2 & Part 3?? That means we need to
check all the things (seatbelt, side mirror, etc) on the both parts??

Saraahsir 11 March 2015 at 12:25

For part 3,on road,RSM is compulsary,yeap check all the things,but for part
2,it depends on the jpj on duty,for example,during RPK some will ask you to
do RSM,some will not,hope this helps :)

Hi, the CITO info is really helpful! And for the 'suggestion on what you need to blog
next' would be the POWDER.... as I'm really confused on the W and E... actually
everything in POWDER I guess lol
Reply

Saraahsir 14 April 2015 at 06:59

POWDER is the keywords for Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan, a check up test for ur car,
it's the first thing u do before anything else, P is Petrol, you should smell if there's any
weird smell of the petrol, if there is u should tell the tester, by right it shouldnt give
out any smell, O is oil, there are the types of oil, engine oil,break oil and the other
one i could not recall,u should scroll upwards. W is water, there is 2 water, one is for
the wiper,the water storage for the wiper and the other one also i can remember, im
sorry. E is electrical, electrical means u should check the connection of the battery,it
should be connected correctly like where's the positive and negative connections, and i
think there's more to check besides the positivity and negativity connections,R is
rubber, u should check if the rubber hose is broken or there's any leakage and check
for other rubber material based,hope this helps!

hey Alex, which part is this? 3 pointer is it?

Unknown 30 June 2015 at 08:04

the z road, sometimes during my training the back tyre hit the beam when i
bend, how to make sure the tyre won't hit anything when i bend?

Saraahsir 30 June 2015 at 12:51

Oh,i took my test at skem,it works like this,before u hit the gas paddle to
move forward,take the left lane of the road,and estimate when u should
turn ur steering to the right 3 times,and when u want to movr forward to
the S-curve,quickly and slowly hit the gas paddle and turn ur steering to the
left 3 times,usually until ur car is straight,facing north.The key to not heat
anything is to not press the gas paddle hardly,be gentle with it as u are
turning to the right when u see the Z curve beam.Hope this helps!

Saraahsir 30 June 2015 at 12:54

Sorry i made some typos there,the key not to hit anything is..

Hi, Sarah! I'm also learning at the skem driving academy and I was wondering if you
could give me some tips for the z and s curves to avoid touching the line. Thanks!

Saraahsir 12 June 2015 at 11:04

Hello there!Sorry for the late reply,for the z-curve,u should balance out ur
clutch and oil paddle upon turning ur steering wheel to the right and left
before u proceed with the s-curve,just don't hit the oil paddle too hard!!just
tap the oil paddle for ur car to have the momentum to move when u turning
the steering wheel to the left upon reaching the S-curve.For the S-curve just
follow the shape and don't use the oil paddle,maintain by tapping ur clutch
followed by the break paddle.hope this helps!

I have one question. I myself took driving lessons a few days ago and I personally
practiced find the Z turn a little bit confusing. For the Z turn, my teacher told me that
I must not press the gas pedal and instead I should just maintain the biting point of the
clutch so that the car would move slowly. As I came to the sharp bend, the car slowed
down and eventually came to a stop. Needless to say, my teacher was frustrated and
he told me I should add gas so that the car wouldn't come to a complete stop. My
question is this. Does this person have bipolar or something? At first he told never to
accelerate and now he's telling to do it instead.

Saraahsir 3 July 2015 at 07:59

nope he doesn't. yes you need to slow down when u are about to bend after
seeing the sharp bend,always tap the clutch and then only the break
paddle.as you are bending away from the z-curve to proceed with the s-
curve, you need momentum to move the car forward. therefore tapping the
 gas paddle is necessary or it would have been like your situation where the
car comes to a halt,which we do not want as we are not done with the s-
curve.hope this clarify your confusion :)

Adleiavde 4 July 2015 at 14:34

Hey Sarah^^, first of all, I really enjoyed reading this whole piece of writing. It's
informative and very well written, it might also currently THE Best tips ever wrote for
learners to adapt and pass the test. (Believe me, I've been searching high and low on
the web for this. Desperation calls xD. And oh my.. not to mention we both went to the
same driving academy, this is something.. a coincidence?)

Okay, enough of the compliments. I have questions, is it required to do the RPKs and
RSMs each time you were to switch cars? And am I suppose to do the on a road test
first before the others (uphill, three pointer, parking and shapes tests)? Or does it
depends whether there are available JPJ workers on duty? And is it mandatory to
mention POWDER or just required to inspect the 8 important under the bonnet
components?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions.. I'm having my JPJ test this 8th of July, and I
really don't wanna disappoints my love ones ><

Saraahsir 4 July 2015 at 15:09

Why hello there!thank you for ur kind words,i am happy to be able to
help!This might be a coincidence,yes hehe. To answer ur questions, 1.We
only do the RPK once before we do the hill test,and it depends on the jpj on
duty,usually she/he will ask u to do RSM right after u're done with RPK on
the spot. 2.Yes,if u switch cars for ur hill test,parking,3 pointer and s and z
curve,it is mandatory to do RSM!also, please check out my pics with the jpj
papers on,it is stated when u have to to CITO;during up and down the
hill,when u do ur parking,3 pointer and s and z curves,they are important.
3.It depends on which session u are in,there are 3 sessions,early morning
session,late morning session and the afternoon session,usually the morning
session do the hill test first then only the on road test,the opposite goes to
the second session and third where they do the on road test first then only
the hill test and all,but it also depends on the teachers on duty. 4.POWDER
is a verbal communication with the jpj on duty,you have to explain to them
what each of the alphabet stands for,and the 8 components inside the bonet
isn't necessary to tell the jpj,if u are unlucky,she/he might want to know,so
just be ready in case.All the best for ur test!if u are a muslim,recite surah
Al-Insyirah,where u can ease down the nervous feeling,and don't blame
urself if anything were to happen,god has set all these before u were
born,okay? Just ask anything if u are still not clear,im here :D

Adleiavde 5 July 2015 at 13:46

Woah, Sarah a quick reply.. Thank You <3, your last sentence is really sweet,
a kind heart to assist others even if they're a complete stranger. Yup, God
has it all planned the best way.

And I have more questions, is CITO more of a verbal communication or

physical actions or both? Just to clarify, during your on the road test, when
you first exited Skem, did you went right or left? tyty

Saraahsir 5 July 2015 at 17:01

I have to be on time!CITO is just a physical action,unless the CITO in RSM,u
have to speak it out on what u are doing because the jpj is in the car next
to u for on road test.if u are in the car alone,just do it physically,no words
needed.i went right,u're welcome :)

Adleiavde 8 July 2015 at 15:27

Thank you Sarah, but apparently I failed the road test earlier yesterday, the
examiner failed me because I didn't gave signal just before I release the
hand break and drove, I was taught to give signal only until the arrival of a
near junction. And yeah, our scenario was the same... failed me before I
could even exit the academy. My retake date is the same as Nurul, which is
on the 5th of August. But I passed my Section 2 (hill test, parking, courses).
Ugh, I feel worthless after failing. I have another question, is it allowed to
fully explain in English for the RSM test?

Saraahsir 8 July 2015 at 15:47

hello there,heyy it's okay,it is really okay to fail,sometimes success is the
outcome of a whole string of failures! oh dear, it is mandatory to give signal,
without it you are considered as an automatic disqualification,beware of it
the next time ya,and congrats that you at least passed the section 2,did u
know that i fail both sections twice?and only passed the third time i tried?
because i believe that i can!so learn to love yourself,you are worth it,it
depends on the jpj on duty,if he or she starts speaking in bahasa,then better
speak bahasa,i recommend u to just speak bahasa,im just scared they'll get
annoyed,all the best yah!

Adleiavde 11 August 2015 at 09:37

Hey Sarah, it's me again!^^ I have a question, for Part 3! When you lowered
your gear to 1 after performing the U-Turn, did you went straight to the
road, or did you stopped on the left side before giving signals to the right
and then only drove?

Saraahsir 13 August 2015 at 10:03

why hello there,again hehe. you should give signals after the u-turn,oh no,
don't do that,you should wait between the walls of exit from skem, and give
signals to the right,do ur cito and then only drive to the road,hope this helps

Adleiavde 16 August 2015 at 22:01

Sorry for the lack of clarification, I was pointing out on this:

20. Before you went straight away to the road, give signal to the right and
look into the side mirrors if there's any vehicles

not before exiting Skem xD

I was confused, do I perform a U-Turn straight away and drive along the
road, or do I have to U-Turn and stop on the left before proceeding.

Saraahsir 17 August 2015 at 04:39

Ohh that u-turn before doing the road test is it?just u-turn,slow down and
give signal to the direction u're heading.no need to wait or stop on the left
side

Adleiavde 22 August 2015 at 12:36

Oh no, it's the U-turn after passing the hospital, where it is used to return to
Skem, my question is, after performing a U-turn, is it required to stop on
the left side straight away after the U-turn, and then watch out for cars
(with the CITO procedures), then only drive pass back the hospital and to
Skem

or

Just U-turn without stopping on the left,

because my instructor once told me to do so, but I'm quite confuse because
it's little complicated.. I just want to clarify. My retake is on the 26th of
August. And I'm really nervous ><, once again, thank you Sarah.

Saraahsir 24 August 2015 at 03:50

Yes you must stop on the left side, give signal to the right ,look for any cars
coming, if there's none, then only drive back to skem,oh and yeah with the
cito as well. All the best!

Hi there! My instructor surprised with the news that I've got a pre-test tomorrow ...
and I am super not ready. I have problems with the going up the hill part, as well as
the parking part.
I know in order to face a practical test, I should be practicing hands-on a bit more but
unfortunately, time and space do not permit. Though I know reading up on theory
wouldn't do me much good, but it helped me cool down a bit. Great work here!

Oh, and would you have any last minute tips?

Hi again, Sarah! I underwent my pre-test today and as expected, I failed some parts
*laughs*, however, I didn't fail as bad as I thought I would. The major cause of this
would likely be my own clumsiness in forgetting little key elements like CITO *laughs
again*. Anyway, I've been lacking so much motivation and confidence yesterday but
your writing helped me a bit. Even though they only helped me majorly on the theory
part, but still, I gained a small bit of boost there. I guess they kinda helped me
improve.

I'll be having two more classes before my real test on the 20th and I can't wait to get
them over with.

Would you mind if I linked my readers to your blog, if in case I happen to blog about
my driving experience too?

Thanks again,
EvaJ

Hey. I recently failed my bahagian 2... So I need to get my. Side parking right..

So I'm supposed to full turn left. Reverse. Till I see the 3rd block on my side mirror.
Straighten up my tyre. Reverse. Till the back tyre touches the garisan putus. After
that. Full turn right. Reverse. Front tyre touches the lines. Then full turn left. Shift
into gear 1. Then drive forward a bit. And must I straighten up the tyres when I'm in.
Or can I just leave it facing left...? I hope to get a reply from you soon thanks! Your

I'm going for my JPJ test today, my driving instructure..I can't explain, I don't noe if I'm
too dumb to understand or if he have problems with explaining. All he thought me is
how to drive (only driving). Now I'm getting nervous about all the RSM RPK...thank God
I took initiative to Google it out, at least I have some rough idea of what's going to
happen. My instructor never allow me to drive higher than 2nd gear, he loves to control
the brake ( like all the time ) as well as the steering ( tough his driving ). His an Indian
who trying to show of his English speaking skills...broken English I mean ( I'm an Indian
too...he refuse to speak our mother tounge).
During my 45minutes driving lesson, he will be on phone like 10-20minutes ( yeah,
that's when he'll control the steering from the side and the brake). He initially told me
1500 for bike and car licence, after 2months down the road he change story as the JPJ
upgrading the system and couldn't recognize my bike licence application. When I make
my final payment, he insisted that he charged me 1500 only for car license ( and its
guarantee till pass) I've got no choice but to pay him as I don't have any prove. And
finally got guts to ask me to bribe him to settle JPJ test, so automatically pass!! I hope
I can do well on my own effort.
I'm super stressed with all this money minded people. I'm sorry I've to vent my
frustration here for the money which I spend, all I get is crappy service.

hello there! Im sorry to hear what you've been through.Is he an instructor
under a company or is he simply by himself? Because if you paid for this kind
of service, you have the right to make a legal complaint, yes the jpj system
has changed,i was once charged more when i wanted to book my jpj test.
He should have been more matured by informing you earlier so it wouldn't
be so troublesome especially if you are taking two license.Don't worry,just
pray and go thru this with patience, good things happen to those who wait. I
hope you found everything you need for the test from this post, and all the
best!!

helpful information for all of us here, pass mark in all sections of JPJ test is 80% i.e..
part 2 is of 56/70 and part 3 is 64/80.

Part 2:- RPK,RSM, carry minor marks but need to explain to test inspectors about the
car. parking, 3 point, z and s makeup rest of major part in PART2

PART3- this is all about your driving on main road along with inspector. He/She'll be
scoring on the kind of driving etiquette you do.

Hey Sarah thanks alot for the amazing tips! Anyways i have a few extra questions to
ask (sorry if it's a dumb one haha)

1) Is it necessary to raise our hands after we finish every obstacle in the litar such as
hill,parking etc/ or we just have to raise our hand in some of the obstacle,if yes,which
are the obstacles that we have to raise our hand to indicate that we are done? (
Apparently my driving instructor is still following the old system that confuses me
which lead me in asking this question :/ )

2) Do we have to carry out RSM twice which is before we go up the hill obstacle and
also before we start our On The Road driving? I noticed that u mentioned it depends on
the JPJ officers but in the correct way do we have to do twice?

3) When do we have to implement the CITO technique?

Thanks in advance for reading this and i hope u can reply me ASAP as i'm taking my
test on Tuesday and i'm nervous haha ><
Reply

Saraahsir 2 August 2016 at 01:58

Hey John! I'm so sorry for the late reply. I hope u passed the test!

1) For the hill part, before u drive down the hill and u feel confident that u have done
it the right way, raise up ur hand as a signal to the jpj officer on duty before driving
down the hill. For parking, you only raise up ur hand after you have complete all the
parking steps. This means, before you are about to leave the parking area, raise up ur
hand and notify the officer. I don't think we need to raise our hands for CITO and RSM
tho. RSM is just explanation needed. CITO is for safety precautions purposes.

2) The one before the hill test is the RPK (Rutin Pemeriksaan Kenderaan) where u have
the inspect the car and explain to the officer. RSM is a must before taking the on the
road test and is done once.

4) From what i can remember, CITO is done right after u have completed RSM. Which is
before u are about to drive for ur on the road test.

I hope this is informative for you. Thanks for reading!

Hi Sarah, i`d like to share the good news, i passed my exam, i`m so happy
right now, i passed both theory and practical on my first attempt, even
thought some friends here in Malaysia told me i couldn`t make it without
the "duit kopi" but i prove then are wrong and the system is clean.

Thanks for all your tips, they were indeed very valuable alongside with
google maps to study the all 3 road courses available.

I started with the road, later did RPK/RSM and finished with the Circuit
hill,parking,3 point turn, Z and S shaped.

Also thanks for my instructors including Norasmail from Metro and Tini from
the office, and all JPJ examiners for the fair and clean evaluation

Peace!

Hey Sarah i'll be doing my test real soon, just wanted to get something off my chest.
During the circuit test on the hill, could i use the method whereby I:
1) Stop at the yellow line, break, free my gear and pull up the handbreak
2) Once im good to go, i'll keep my foot on the break, switch to gear 1, release the
handbreak. Then finally quickly switch from brake to accelerator.
3)After that its just a matter of managing your accelerator and clucth.

I personally find this method easier than the one my instructor taught me. Wondering
if the method used matters? or as long as u dont slide back you are fine.
Thanks:)

Heyya! There is no one specific method that will determine your success.
You are free to go with any method that is easier for you even though your
instructor never taught you that. I think it is acceptable and as long as you r
car moves forward down the hill, that's a positive sign!

Hello, oh yes i was very anxious back then like i was literally shaking until i
failed the first time. But as i get on, it helps when you set a realistic goal,
like it's okay if you fail, it's normal. But take the failure to push you to
achieve your goal. Usually it helps me to calm down when im well prepared,
only when you are fully prepared you'll have the confidence. I hope you'll
