Thanks everyone!!
springhaze--You should definitely look into it. I didn't do an intensive course, per se, but I know they do exist. I just found a driving instructor, and told him what I was trying to do. We set up a series of 2 hour driving lessons over 2 weeks with the provision that if he didn't think I was ready, I would move the test. You may be able to do it even quicker if you already drive manual. I did do a lot of practice outside of my lessons with my husband, going over the test routes and the maneuvers, and that was essential. Some days I was in the car for almost 5 hours (with breaks). But it's a great way to get it out of the way. I'm so excited to be able to focus on other things!
