I took 4 to 6 circuit lessons only. Total around 10 lessons. Paid around $2k for all. Took about a year including all the waiting. Can't imagine how much I would have spent if I have gone with the school. Probably would have taken much longer too.
What's the point of paying to practice when one is good to go? Just a waste of time and money.
This is the biggest misconception... Pte learner normally waits for months and most are like meat on chopping board... kena chopped by pdi. For most learners, 10 lessons are likely to be insufficient and highly likely they will fail on 1st attempt based on statistic from traffic police...
A pte learner who passed with less than 10 lessons and on 1st attempt is far more likely to share and report this "achievement" online compared to the silent pte learner majority who fail and took many lessons. These silent pte learner majority are far less likely to share their "failure" online. Do take note of this inherent reporting bias. Just by looking at the statistic from traffic police and you will know that it is completely normal for most pte learner to fail on the 1st attempt...
On the other hand, school might be slightly more expensive at 2.2K - 2.5K and can be done in 2 - 3 months because school learner can find earlier simulator and tp slot easily... For now with the current inflated market hourly rate of pdi, sch should be the better option for most learners especially manual car learner due to higher passing rate and earlier date.
