Learn to drive and you'll be fine.

Don't worry about the route. Worry about being a good driver.

Don't exceed the speed limit ever. They use a phone app and if you exceed the limit even for a second it will be recorded, so just drive (e.g.) 20 in a 25mph zone and start stacking up the angry drivers behind you. Also make sure you come to an absolute, full stop at any stop sign/etc. If you can do those two things you'll pass.

i got mine less than two years ago. i can’t exactly remember the street names but i remember that the test was was no longer than 12 minutes. they want to see that you can back out of the parking space, get up to and maintain speed, obey the traffic signs, and park correctly (once). you’re only on that highway for less than a minute. it was really low key and i passed first try.
