... to cut a long story short, I failed it!! I couldn't understand well enough the questions in the spanish of the spanish test! the spanish was way different ... had to come back the next day and take it in english and of course I passed


Awe yes, that because we speak Mexican Spanish and not Castilan Spanish in the US. As I recall from school, Castilan Spanish is more formal than Mexican Spanish and some words probably mean different things. It probably be the same with Americans taking a British drivers test. The Queen's English is different from American English plus they mis-spell so many English words.



That was exactly it, but I wasn't expecting so much difference in the vocab and sentence construction, it doesn't take long to get a hang of it but it was like a guy from scottland in a small town in texas
