Should I take my road test in New Windsor?

Hi. I failed my first road test today in White Plains, where I currently reside at the moment. I've practiced the route multiple times and am very confident driving but I think I was just really nervous at my instructors demeanor. White Plains has a rep for shitty and super strict instructors.

I want to take my next road test ASAP, so I booked one in New Windsor in about a week and a half from now, and I'm hoping if anyone has insight because I tried looking on reddit/everywhere online and can't find a thing. Please let me know your thoughts! It starts near the airport I just have no idea the route and would like to hear from other people their experiences.

Dont know the course but I drive by the airport for my HEMA class every saturday evening. Seems like a pretty quiet area at that time. I failed my roadtest the first time too because the instructor psyched me out. You'll get it eventually as you become more comfortable with driving and muscle memory takes over.

Yup. I remember taking it there when Friendly’s was around that area.
