Any tips/ advice

I used to use this for times of nerves glaxy especialy interviews and public speaking, it wont make you drowsy and its all herbal and it does take the edge off. You can find it in quite a few chemists.

well i aint gonna be much use as ive just failed my 4th test yesterday :(

all i wanna say is try not to let the nerves take over, unfortunately this is my downfall and i go to pieces,just relax as best you can. also if you make a mistake dont automatically think. ‘god ive failed’ coz you might not have.
just try your best and if, thats a big if, you fail dont worry about it get another one booked and try again.
i have tried the herbal stress tablets and they do work to a certain degree but its in your head too. just stay focused and remember what your instructor has taught you.
ill tell you what ive failed on to give you abit of help :lol:
1st test….wrong positioning in the rd so it could cause a danger to other drivers(i dont count this test coz it was just awful)
2nd test…..stopping to late at temp traffic lights.
3rd test….. didnt do parallel park correctly
4th test….. observation whilst doing reverse park

oh and just realised you’re from my neck of the woods. where you taking the test :D

Chew chewing gum (or suck a sweet) its something to take the nervous energy away as taking a stress ball will only fail you for taking your hands off the steering wheel. 8)

Helped me!

I passed my test last September it was my first test in 13 years.

I found an early night the night before, breakfast the next day. I also used Bachs rescue remedy and i took a deep breath when i got in the car and told myself ‘well im here now lets get on with it’
If you make a mistake, put it out of your mind, do NOT dwell on it as it causes a domino effect and its a lot harder to bring your concentration back after that.
Stay calm and confident but not cocky and you will be ok.

Ok I have my driving test next friday, was ok up until now but now I’m getting really nervous about it. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or advice over getting over the nerves and getting through the test!

don’t worry about it, you will be nervous, and the 30 mins you have before your test with your instructor, you will be nervous even more

but once you get going and do the first reverse around the corner, you be fine

what helped me was that i thought i messed up right from the start, so thinking i messed up, rest of the time i was relaxed

and i past with one of the best marks he has ever given he said
