Watch out for ice and snow? If possible, do road tests on Weekends where you don't have to worry about school zones at all (I've seen at least 8 different times periods for school zones in our city alone). Stay in lane when doing right and left hand turns (I got points off myself for making a left turn too wide). Be aware of construction zones and other road problems. Try and follow another person that's doing the test so you know what to look for (although this might or might not work, for obvious reasons).

Watching speed is one of the easiest things you can screw up on (has happened to all of my friends for some reason). Make sure the car is in good working order and isn't making any weird noises before you actually drive (I actually did about 4 different errands in my car 4 hours before I took my test). And just relax? I was actually pretty mellowed out and sleepy by the time I was actually scheduled to take my test; make sure you're actually awake for the test. My brother just passed the road test here in MN 6 months ago. Main things are parallel parking, 90° backing into a parking space, one-way streets, and parking on a hill.
Do the parallel & 90° in as few moves as possible, I think you can redo the whole procedure if you feel you're not doing it well enough, but if you hit a cone you automatically fail so go slow & be careful. The one way streets, most of the time there's multiple lanes and you'll turn into the left-most lane and have to make a right turn at the next block crossing 3-4 lanes (or right to left). Parking on a hill, know which way the tires need to be turned depending on whether you're facing up or down hill & whether or not there's a curb. Do you know where they're testing? If it's in the metro, Plymouth & Arden Hills are a private course and the only other people on the road are other testers, whereas Anoka is out on the local streets. Those are the only three I know about but it's a big change on whether its actual roads or a closed course. Make sure whatever vehicle they're testing in they've driven before and are comfortable in.
Keep it slow, especially if the roads are crappy (not sure what they'll be like next week). Keep it below the speed limits (or safe for conditions), completely stop, know the proper right-of-way rules, two hands on the wheel all the time, and over exaggerate as you look at the mirrors and over your shoulder, make sure the examiner knows that you're looking around. It might help to re-read or review the Driver's License Manual to refresh knowledge on laws and what to do. Here's the manual if you need it Couple other things, get there probably 30-45 minutes early. You'll need to wait in line, check your car in, check yourself in, fill out paperwork, etc.
As for the car, make sure all lights (headlights, brights, blinkers/hazards, brakes), horn, wipers, etc work, anything not working & they'll send you home. Know where the hazards button, wiper switch, defroster, vent controls, horn, e-brake, insurance card, etc is because you'll need to show the examiner that. That's all I can think of for now. If you have other questions, PM me or ask here, I'll be happy to answer them. Just have them remember to stay calm, go slow, & think about what they do; it's not really that bad.
This question is impossible to specifically answer without a lot more information. However, it possible to discuss some variables which would impact the determination of fault.
NFor example, IF the driver pulling out vehicle 1 confirmed, BEFORE moving his/her vehicle, that it WAS SAFE to do so, and then WHILE he/she was pulling away, a person in the second vehicle opened the door in front of, or into contact with, the first vehicle, THEN THE FAULT would lie with the person who opened the door of the second vehicle. The driver of vehicle 1 is obligated to avoid a collision if possible, but is not responsible if circumstances preclude his/her ability to do so. NOn the other hand, IF, for example, the driver of vehicle 1 actually observed the open door of vehicle 2, and pulled out in spite of an obvious hazard, and struck the open door, then the fault should lie with driver 1.
Also, if driver 1 pulled out WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING, then again, the fault should be with driver 1. NDetermination of fault in this type of collision if very difficult to accomplish, unless for example, a video surveilence camera clearly captured the above discussed actions, or the absense of those actions, the TIMING of those actions, and WHO did WHAT, WHEN.

I'm super nervous as this will be my first time taking the test. I also have a few questions for Minnesota drivers.
Do you have to take the knowledge test again?. How big were the spaces for parallel parking and 90 degree backs?. Do you have to do parallel parking and 90 degree backs in one smooth motion or are you allowed to correct yourself?. Is there anything else 'special' you have to do besides parallel parking, 90 degree backs, and 3 points?
Edit: I'm not from out of state or previously licensed. I'm a Minnesota resident and turned 16 about a month ago. I passed the knowledge test first try about 9 months ago to get my permit. 2nd edit: Thanks to everyone for the advice! I guess I'll see you all on the roads:).
I believe the MN-regulated parallel space is something like 10ft wide and 22ft long, it's enormous. At Chaska, they have you 90 degree back into a 10ft wide spot marked with flags (think little marker flags, not the American flag or anything).
They're very friendly and the DMV that the testing is based out of is really modern and nice. They give you a little sheet prior to the start of your test that lists off what they want you to demonstrate as far as the functions of your car, like blinkers, horn, mirrors, hazard lights, parking brake, etc. My SO just passed there with ease. Don't come to a full stop if you don't need to, it can lose you points. Correct your parking as much as you need, but do not touch the flags.

Signal every turn and park and look over your shoulder. Remember to point your wheels the right way when parking at the curb (up up and away, down and towards). There's a good chance they'll take you to an intersection and make you take a left at the light where you have to yield to oncoming traffic, a lot of people fail there so pay attention and be careful. Get some blind spot mirrors like if you get the chance, they can help make the parallel and 90 degree backs easier.
Chaska's unmarked roads are two lanes, so when you're doing things like making a left turn make sure you turn into the correct lane. Make sure you know where all everything in your car is, they test you on it before the driving test begins. They'll ask you to demonstrate things like turning your brights on and off, windshield wipers, defrosters, fans, hazard lights, and a few other things I don't remember. Exaggerate all of your actions like checking your blind spots. Don't stress out, the test will be over faster than you think. That's one thing that nobody told me was how short the test actually was!. Seatbelt first.
Have the keys in your hand, not in the ignition, even if the car is off. Listen carefully and process what is being said. They sometimes tell you to go down the wrong way on a one way. Ask them and confirm, or ask if they mispoke. Never do anything that you would not do on a real street. Don't hit anything, including letting the flag on the parking and the like. These are all automatic fails.
And lastly, breathe and try to be relaxed. If you fail, ask what you should work on. Is it a closed course? I'm not from that part of the city so I don't know, but if it is they are extra critical of your driving on a closed course.I thought the spots were fine to get into, my SUV got in an out of them easy, just be careful on your way out of the spots, I have had many friends who parked perfectly and then hit a cone on the way out, which is a fail -a little tip my drivers ed teacher told me is if you are going to wear sunglasses over exaggerated your head movements when looking in the mirrors.
The testing instructors look at your eyes moving but they can't see them behind sun glasses, I didn't have sunglasses on when I took my test in January And overall just remember everything you learned in drivers ed and don't be super uptight and stressed about it. Also have your social security number with you, if you don't know it, and money, I think it is cash or credit, I could be wrong. Good luck. Confidence is key. I was really comfortable with driving when I tested, so I passed on the first try, even though I hit the curb while leaving the parallel parking spot (which I had NAILED, just forgot to put the car in Drive after backing in), and I hit the curb in the downhill parking segment, and I failed to signal while pulling over at the end.
Try not to stress. If you don't pass tomorrow, there will be another day.
