Ideally 0.5 - 12inches(ie. avoid hitting it, but if you do, hit it very gently/slowly... don't whack it, show you have control of the car)... a little over won't matter........ don't be wider than 18inches. Also if it doesn't work out where you would like it, don't say you're finished... fix it (by fix it, I don't mean start it all over again, that's unacceptable, you might make a hash of it again).
If a builder when building a wall, recognises he's not quite done it right a couple of feet below from where he's at, he doesn't smash the whole thing down and start over again..... he's more likely to take it back to where it started to go wrong and re-do it from there.
How often do you see drivers with licences adjust their parking efforts? It's the same for you. Ask your instructor to show you the best way to fix your attempts for both too close or too wide, so that you will know how to do it should it happen, which it can.
If you were approaching a cliff, would you continue to walk over the edge, or would you try a different route? It's the same when carrying out these exercises............ if it's going to be a definite fail... FIX IT. Also ask him if you may fix it.... if he thinks it's an ok attempt he will just ask you to continue and move on. If he would like to see it done better he'll allow you to fix it.
This is what happens in UK, but I see no reason why USA examiners wouldn't use common sense... it's a demonstration of your ability to drive a car... not some nasty plot to mess with your head.
Good luck.
