I managed to pass mine in the same car. The instructor told me that he was judging speed control by +/- 10% of the legal speed limit, and some variation depending on the situation. He gave a few pointers at the end: yellow speed signs =/= speed limit, not to stay behind large trucks if you can pass them, etc.

My instructor warned me of that couple years back when I did drivers ed.
As for the test, like others mentioned, book an appointment with an instructor to catch the bad habits. My gf, did that and passed no problem.

Good luck with your test!

Apparently when you are about to make left turns on an intersection, you should always keep the wheel straight, not slight left. If you can't see the on-comming cars well enough, it's okay to go a bit more further out, but at least still keep the wheel straight. The point of this was in case of an unfortunate rear-ending from behind, at least the car would not bounce forward to an on-comming traffic.

The only tip my examiner gave me after the test. Hope this helps some way to build stronger confidence in both you and the examiner.
