Good luck Kizzy!

think you have done the right thing, you need to be confident going into it

[Rustic bauble]

You need to go in with the right mindset...with your lack of confidence you will more than likely fail. Just wait until the time is right and take it with a positive attitude.

[James]

Schedule it when the roads are quietest as if you hesitate when there are cars behind you it can be a major error instead of a minor one.

....awww Cal......it’s not your driving abilities is it, it’s your nerves...When you do have another date, you can do this...you really can...just try to think of it as another lesson..anything that you’re not sure of, you have time to go through now with your instructor so that there is nothing that the day can bring that you can’t do...as Niamh said, it’s the best advice really...if you did make a mistake, just keep on going because it’s how we react to any mistakes is the thing...about keeping our calm and focus....AND YOU CAN, CAL...I believe you can...make sure you have a small breakfast on the day of your test if you can manage it..you will feel nervous because it’s part of you ...but those nerves are not going to stop you from achieving this...because you can drive, you’re perfectly capable and able...it’s one run through of everything you already know and have done so many times before and done perfectly well...you’ll be Cal the driver soon....

Then you'll have the winter weather to deal with, should have just booked a 2 hr lesson before the test and go out for a nice long drive - i did that passed 1st time and i was 8.5 mths pregnant in a mini !

[Cal.]

Thanks so much everybody for all the advice!

[Calderyon]

Train with a simulator first.

[Daniel-X]

Am just gonna nod and smile to tha luv x

[Tony Montana]

I'm sure you'll do well Cal.

Good luck.

[JerseyWins]

You still should've just took it!!! Whenever you do take it: driving is a really simple skillset, the main thing you need to know/do going into it is to not worry and not be nervous about it. Nerves and over-thinking everything is your most likely path to failure Otherwise you'll be fine

Good idea ive watched loads of these, search driving test and the area you live in you tube and there'll be some test routes from instructors that set off from the test centre you'll be going from.

Does the instructor not take you on the possible test routes, that is what used to happen in the good old days :

[Wizard.]

No driving for dick for you missy you’ll have to walk the cock trail!

[Calderyon]

Other drivers sigh in relief though.

[Candy Annie Cane]

There's a fine line between confidence and over-confidence though as I found out to my detriment. On my first test, I was so convinced I would pass, I'd arrange to pick friends up that night, but failed when I didn't see that the speed limit had changed on the road and therefore broke the speed limit for a while. Getting back on the bus that night was tough lol.

[Good King Glennceslas]

You'll be fine. All you need to do is drive. If you don't know how to do that properly then you shouldn't be taking a test

[Good King Glennceslas]

Says me who passed first time :janet:
