Answer 5

I absolutely wrecked my first one, I made so many mistakes because I was so nervous.

Then I sacked my instructor, got my dad to teach me in my own car.

I took my test in my own car (just needed to buy some mirrors for the examiner), I chatted to the examiner all the time, and I took a dose of Bach rescue remedy beforehand!!

I also sang for an hour before the test, as I find that helps.

Good Luck x

Answer 6

smoke a j

Answer 7

Don't be nervous.  Just focus on what they taught you.  You obviously have been practicing and took the driver's training.  You know what you need to do and you will be fine.  Just relax and good luck.  Everyone gets nervous and the person giving the test realizes that.  ;)

Answer 8

Just about everbody is nervous on their driving test.It's like any test , people have the fear of failing.

Try and take every situation as it comes and try not to worry.

Ha that's a good one - Easier said than done.

GOOD LUCK ANYWAY.

Answer 9

Picture you instructor in his underwear.Will be hard to take him serious that way.

Answer 10

get blind drunk

Answer 11

First, book your test for mid-morning. This is the time the morning rush has finished and the lunch time rush has yet to start. Tests booked too early mean you might have to rush to get there (never good) and be flustered when you arrive. You will have stayed awake half the night worrying about over-sleeping and be exhausted for the test.

Tests booked for later in the day give you the whole day to worry about it and build yourself up into a state. Mid-morning is best.

An hour before you leave for the test, lie down, close your eyes and imagine driving through the manoeuvres - perfectly and in real time. Do some deep breathing and relax.

Make sure you get to the test centre well before your test. Hopefully you will already have been there so the building is familiar to you - strange surroundings heighten the tension.

On the test, think and look as far ahead as possible. This gives you plenty of time to react to situations and helps to keep you relaxed.

Remember the examiner is on your side - he/she really wants you to pass. They hate having to give you bad news.

Good luck. If you've practiced enough, you'll be fine.

Answer 12

you could try thinking of it as a normal lesson, which is just with a different insructor and nothing to be nervous of.

The way we THINK we will react to a situation is usually how we will react to it. Like if I was going to football match, I would expect to be very bored and cold. When I am there, I will start to feel bored and cold, because thats how I imagine it. But to all the football fans in the world, this will be a time of great excitement and enjoyment. Me and the football supporters would be at the same event, but we would have different feelings about it. Does that make sense?

So, if you imagine it to be another lesson, there would be no need to be nervous, so hopefully you wont be when you are on the test!

Good luck with it!

Answer 13

I actually failed my first time and I honestly think it's because of my relationship with the instructor. Whether you know the instructor or not, it REALLY helped the second time to get into a conversation with them. Once they started talking about something THEY were interested in, I could better focus on my driving and I calmed down a LOT. This way, you don't feel like they're breathing down your neck. Of course, stick to what you're taught and know that you're prepared!! Good luck!
