Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Driving School

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Back to School
 * Location: Driving School, Doherty, San Fierro

The 360
Hold down the accelerate and brake buttons then hit left or right. The car will start to rotate, to get gold look for the burn marks on the tarmac and use it to align your outer tire.

The 180
Essentially this is just a handbrake turn, accelerate into the half-circle of cones and press the handbrake button while still holding down accelerate. Turn the car left or right and it will start to spin, when the nose of the car is pointing around the cone (so you won't hit it) release the handbrake and accelerate back to the starting point.

Due to the time limit you might need to use the handbrake again to come to stop within the cone box.

Whip and Terminate
For this Test you have to do a 90 degree handbrake turn then come to a stop. The two issues are the turn and the parking. To maximize turn, try to be a close to edge of cones so that you can get a better time. After you get the turn down(You can try as many times as you want until you get it) you will have to be good at parking. You HAVE to be exactly in line with the cones.

Pop and Control
Speed up then slow down just before the tires pop then speed up and park the car in the cones without touching them.

Burn and Lap
This one is tough but straight forward. The trick is to keep your laps as tight as possible to the inside cones using the handbrake to spin the car 180 degrees. Get back on the gas as quickly as possible as you cannot afford to let the car loose too much speed if you want to get all 5 laps in under 36 seconds, which is required for gold.

Cone Coil
This one is also pretty tough until you learn how to do it right. All you need is to accelerate past the first 2 cones, then let go of the gas. And then once you pass the third cone, hit the gas and make the 180 turn. Then again, just like before, hit the gas through the first 2 then just realease it for the third. If you did this right, you should have about 4 or 5 seconds to get back where you started. Going really fast then stomping on the breaks doesn't usually work here. You can go a little slow because you have some time if you did the first part correctly.

The '90'
Slow down at about 2 or 3 seconds by letting go of X then use reverse to make the 90 degree turn.

Wheelie Weave
This is only tough because you have to understand one thing. If you are on 2 wheels, you cannot turn in the direction you are slanted in. If you do so you will go down. It will take a couple tries, but its not really that hard.

P.I.T. Maneuver
Hit the police car on the back tire and it will spin. Land up next to it without damaging yourself to achieve gold.

Alley Oop
Speed up and only let the left side wheels hit the jump, as soon as the car is near the end of the jump and half way in the air release X and try to turn right. The car will then do a barrel roll and land on its wheels, then try to park the car straight.

City Slicking
if u cannot do put this cheat in:cars fly: square,down,L2,up,L1,circle,up,x,left.

To complete driving school you have to drive across the city in under 1:40 minutes without damaging the car too badly and without stopping.

This is tricky due to the requirement not to stop but otherwise you are probably pretty familiar with driving through the city at high speed. First person view is a big help on this one to help avoid clipping turning or stationary cars

When the test starts turn right onto the street going past your garage. Drive as fast as you can along the street until you get to the rise in front of the cathedral. Turn right and then turn left at the next junction. Note that the "racing line" through this point is into the oncoming traffic so you'll have to see whether the line is clear before you decide to take it.

Now continue along the street until you get to the steep, twisting decline. This is the trickiest part of the course because it is easy to either hit something or lock your wheels and spin to a stop. If in doubt: slow down, because you are going downhill you are not going to lose momentum.

At the bottom of the hill turn right through the checkpoint and the drive as fast as you can down the Esplande to Easter Basin Docks, turn right up the hill and stop outside the driving school.

Note: this course can also be completed in reverse to the description above, and claim the gold award. If the downhill near the checkpoint is a problam, take the course in reverse.

It terms of what you have to do this is a relatively easy task but there are two things to keep in mind: firstly never stop. If you skid out or hit something keep the accelerator down and keep driving you can spin out and still complete the course. As for damage grazing another vehicle or lamppost is not all that important if it saves you a couple of seconds. For gold you'll need no damage but to just complete the School mission you can afford a few knocks here and there.
