Odds are you will be pretty wound up, so you will have to decide what to eat for yourself... I will be no help there. sorry...

as far as how to stay calm, taking a deep breath is a great idea, and also keep in mind that it is not the end of the world if something happens. I would assume that you have driven before, meaning that you do have a permit. so just be yourself, don't try to put on a facade or anything like that. don't be hard on yourself if you think you do something wrong, that will only make matters worse.

I am 32 and recently did my test for motorcycle and for a semi truck, so you just have to be calm and be yourself. and don't crank the radio :) they hate that....Good Luck

Answer 5

Understand that everyone is nervous during their driving test.  Be sure to take deep breaths and pay attention to what you are doing.  If you are a good driver then you will still be a good driver during your test.

Be sure to eat breakfast like cereal or toast or a bagel and fruit.  Do not drink anything with caffeine!  All that will do is just increase your anxiety and you don't need that!

Good luck!  Just relax and be yourself and you will do fine.
