Look for consistency
Can they perform the skill repeatedly?

Then add complexity
Change one major variable at a time when possible.

DRIVEx WAY OF THINKING

What can they do independently? What still requires prompting? What is the next smallest step?

Should parking come before highway driving?

Sequence can vary, but basic control and observation should support more complex environments.

What if one skill is much weaker?

Give it focused practice rather than avoiding it.

Should we only practice road-test skills?

No. The goal is independent driving, not only passing an exam.

What if they are bored with basics?

Increase challenge only when fundamentals remain reliable.
