Adi part 3 test and nerves...?

Question

Hi

My husband has just done his part 3 test 1st attempt

but was extremly nervous

we are in Northern Ireland so dont find out until tomorrow if he has passed

He was so nervous he missed the briefing at the begining but then pulled the examiner in to the side and did it then, he did not miss one fault she made and apart from nerves it was a good 2 lessons does anyone know if the examiner will take the nerves into account and allow for this ans he does have 100% the right skill

Answer 1

it really depends on the examiner most will take in to account for nerves my sister has reastley passed her adi part 3 and she also messed up in the first couple of mintues due to nerve and her examiner allowed for her nerves so keep your fingers crossed and good luck

Answer 2

I sat my part 2, in Glasgow, with an examiner who I took an instant dislike as soon as I clapped eyes on him.  Failed.  He suggested I sit it near a town to me, ( didn't know about it) and passed with 1 minor.

Part 3.  SAME GUY. He introduced himself, shaking his hand I noticed cuts around the back of his hand, "oh, not my wife, clearing gutters" was his reply. That was December and off we went for my exam. I had to teach turn in the road and we sat about 60 feet from a roundabout.  He did everything to catch me, even winding his window down and waving at traffic!! I told him to stop that and explained why.  After that he pulled up and marked his sheet.   The next part was turning left and right at junctions.  I gave my best briefing and off we went, left was fine, then as we were going to turn right, he stopped in the middle of road, and waved a car at the giveway junction (just so happened to be a senior instructor with a driving school, MINE) we crossed the junction and I pulled him up about it.  Off we went, another junction another wave, told him, explained to him, off we went, he waved at another car and that was the end of the test. Failed.  3 months later another part 3 test, same examiner, same hand injuries, same excuse, did not recognise me, this time it was pedestrian crossings and reverse park.  He even brought his examiner with us.  Sitting in the car he asked to put the window down, i told him i wasn't happy with it and told him I would put the AC on.  No, window came down. I told him no hand signals and showed him my book.

Of we went, first pedestrian crossing he stopped, on green and this went on for the rest of the test.  On the reverse park, we sat on a hill, a hill I'm sure Sherpa Tensing would have trouble climbing.  Nope, failed.  

Third part 3 and different guy, great, did everything right and passed.  On speaking about my experience with the last examiner he told  me that he was "retired" from the job, some weeks ago.  He was being checked tested by another examiner and he wasn't happy about the results.  

To be honest with you, as a D.I. you shouldn't really have any nerves.....

Good luck, let us know how he does.

Answer 3

Been there, done that. They do take nerves into account, and have been known to drop subtle hints.  As it happens, I know from a colleague that he did very much the same, got the "trainee" going without a briefing and the "trainee" lightly said something like "Oh, I thought you'd be spending more time telling me what's going to happen .  . "  You could hear the clang of the penny dropping all the way down the road.

My mate did a superb cover-up (he says) by stopping him down the road and saying "Very good, now I know exactly what to help you with. Now, this is what we're going to do . . ."
