I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you may have received and may continue to receive from others.

I have been parallel parking for so long I have to stop and think how it is done.

1. Pull up next to the car in front so that the rear bumper of that car is parallel to the back of the front seat. This will leave about 1/3 to ½ of your car parallel to the parking space.

2. Turn the wheel, in the proper direction, and start backing into the space until the front of your car is at about a 45 degree angle to the car in front.

3. Now turn the wheel in the opposite direction and continue backing into the parking space.

If done properly you should end up properly aligned with car behind you and perfectly placed in the parking space. This takes practice, but once you have it down you will be able to park your car in the tightest of parking spaces’.

I took the test about a year ago and I remember the other cars bumper lined up with the back seat window. And then you turn it to the certain degree and so on.
Tips just to remember stuff like checking your mirrors every minute. Never go over the speed limit if your scared of going over stay 5 miles under. Always check your blind spots before changing lanes. Use the hand over hand method and use your read view mirror when backing out (they don't like when you look backwards)
That's about it gl on your test
