By too much I mean that on the streets with poor markings and mulitple lanes I couldn't keep a good line (and we have many of those).
It kind of sucks indeed because it's very rare here that you can finish your exam drive as I did and then get to hear the failure part.
Usually when you really do bad things the exam is stopped and you can't drive any more.

Swerving anywhere on a road is not really a good idea unless its to avoid an accident that might happen.
Making you finish the exam wether you drove like a noob or not is due so you dont cause any issues on the way back to the test place, there with keeping you composed and driving safe as you can hoping you might get a pass.

Having no road markings really sux 
I was so confused over it when I first drove.
It took me some days to get used to it and just drive on my side of the road.

Most people fail at the parallel parking. I failed the written exam once (was close though).

Shit happens difm, it's easy to make mistakes when roads are fucked up and you have too much confidence  .
I too almost got flunked because of a hasty overtaking (you could see the fear in the examinator's eyes  ) but in the end it was a flawless move and got only a "warning" for being too hazardous. Better luck next time! (soon hopefully) Keep the car slow like a snail, and everything will be fine 
@Zip: that's odd and kinda infuriating, there's really no point in wasting all that time. Damn examinators, they get paid for being assholes. xD Here it's like Poland, as soon as there's a serious and compromising mistake, it's time to go home. Though I've seen people getting away with pretty much everything...they probably knew someone in high places.

When I did mine I was lucky, the roads were covered in snow so I didn't go above 30-40km. Easiest test ever since I didn't even get taken on highways or any kind of parking.

Well, about that slow thing. We can't drive slowly without a valid reason (that qualifies as obstructing the other drivers). |
Oh, I see. Here it's quite different, and examinators basically encourage the candidates to take it very slowly, since the only thing that really matters is not braking the rules.
That's also the main reason why normal drivers always get immensely pissed off and like to troll the poor people under examination with incessant honking and zig-zag maneuvers done on purpose. |

I'll be careful (at least I'll try). I know it takes years of driving to become a good driver |
It depends, if you don't drive like a crazy and follow the rules, it will be easier than you think, even if the road is in bad conditions. As long as you pay attention and avoid being overconfident, everything will be fine.
And congrats of course! May I ask, which car will you drive? |

Honestly, I have no idea. I live really close to my workplace so I don't need a car for that. For my work trips I can use company cars
But hey, at some point I will buy it because I'm thinking of moving also.
BUT to answer your question - I'm currently thinking about VW Gold (4+) or Mazda 3/6.
I don't want to spend a lot of money on my first car |
A wise decision . I'd pick the Golf, hands down! (Though anything above the v4 is still damn expensive here..) |
