Yes I had the experience yesterday of driving practise in my car for his driving test today and he couldn't parallel park, he was doing it all wrong, and so we gave up on that and just drove around in the neighborhoods he would be tested in.

Then he practised in his girlfriend's car last night and texted me at midnight that he had forgotten how his instructor had taught him and had gotten it all wrong when he tried with me but he got it down pat so he was able to parallel park my car today during his test, which in retrospect is kind of amazing.

My son has adhd and this affects his driving in a pretty serious way. I gave up practise driving with him after some very scary merges on the highway system here and almost running a red light.

We had a mixup getting to the test starting point. When i dropped my son at the registry we didn't realize he needed to show insurance and registration to go on the driving test. I had completely forgotten about all that and he didn't know either this was something he needed to do.

Then he calls me when I am starbucks nearby so I run back without getting the coffee I had paid for, and my heart is pounding when I get back and i am panicking

And think all the insurance cards I had in the car and my wallet had expired. I was reading the date wrong, the year comes first instead of last on those cards, (they were all 4/19 and I though the 19 was last year so they had expired but one of them was expiring 2020/4/19... (who puts the year first? anywhere else??)

so I drove home to get another card and then when I got home realized i had read them wrong so he was already flustered before he started the test and he failed in within 10 seconds of driving because he went into an uncontrolled intersection in the parking lot and someone from his left honked at him. So if you have someone honk at you that is an instant fail.

Then he realized he had instantly failed and that affected the rest of his driving and he also just barely failed on points.

Then I drove him home. We didn't stop for lunch but had a nice chat and his girlfriend is going to help him out with practise driving. He scheduled the next available opening at that registry which is July 22, quite a ways from today.
