Thanks Chica for that great posting. The information is very complete and covers all the essentials.

I´m finished looking for short cuts. I´m with an autoescuela and I´m studying for the examen. I hope to take the written test in early September and the driving test a few weeks later.

I don´t really have much interest/need to take the exam in English unless, for some reason, it were easier. I´m a little wary also of a mediocre translation that could even make matters worse- especially if you´ve done all the studying in Spanish.

Question- are the tests on www.todotest.com and the web page of the dgt more or less on the same level of difficulty as the tests that you´ll take on "game day?" I ask because I´m doing pretty well on those tests but I´m apuntado to another web site ( www.tuautoescuela.net ) and the tests are extremely difficult- more more so than the above-mentioned.

Thanks again for the information.

Steve
