It´s not hard, actually. It´s just a matter of know where are the rear wheels. Once you get an internal refference point (like an especific window or emergency hammer, for instance), you´ll notice that´s just a question of knowing a little about the bus you´re driving (how much can it steers its wheels, in fact.)
I pasted my air breaks , pre-trip , & skills , but they had to postpone my driving test because it wasn't enough time. At least the hard part is over & thanks for the tips.
guard, frame, drive line, ujoints, and safety loops, exhaust pipe, muffler, and tail pipe, shocks, springs, ubolts, spring hangers, brake pads or shoes, calipers or slave cylinders if not air breaks, Axel, tie rod, left and right steering arms, steering ring knuckle, drag link....that's pretty much the items to mention but also mention what your checking them for.
Oh yes. You need to mention: fuel tank, fuel tank

One more question. During the pre-trip inspection do u have to explain anything under the bus? Like spring leaf , u-bolt , brake chambers? Things. Like that?
Nice Job. Brings back memories. I did my static course with a 1983 Orion transit bus... the thing about that was that the body curved in slightly at the back (kind of like how most of today's cars do). It wasn't straight like a school bus, so I was never exactly sure where the back bumper was.

How many times should I turn the wheel to the right once I begin to get into the curb? Is it 1 and 1/2 times?

Are you aware that you will have to demonstrate a drop off or pick up?

That bus has the good mirrors. I did this once on a charter, and the passengers went nuts! People love it when you parallel park a bus.
