Well, the only tips I can give is the same for any test or examination really. Just relax, stay calm and if you do make any mistakes, try to forget about them and carry on as if nothing has happened. You can still pass if you make one or two minor mistakes.

Good luck!

Just try to stay calm. I know it's easier said than done when the time draws near, but it's the best advice I can come up with as I took my test almost 11 years ago and I suspect it has changed somehwat! You must also have confidence in your ability and just go with what you think is right. A nervous driver who thinks he's going to fail probably will. And remember, a lot depends on the examiner so don't feel too bad if things don't turn out the way you hope.

Anyway, good luck with it and I really hope you do well

All I can say is Good Luck , take deep breaths and relax. I passed my driving test erm..... in *cough*1989*cough* and was glad I did it then than now.... written exams and all that - *eek*

But I'm sure you'll be fine hun

Ray passed his driving test also in 1989 (wow, has it been so long? ).. anyways, even though i don't drive (and at the moment have no intention of learning), i'd agree with everyone here, just relax and try not to panic if you make a mistake. Best of luck and let us know how you do

Good luck!

Go into it knowing that you can only do your best. If you come out of it knowing that you've done your best, then the rest is up to the examiner.

Drive with confidence, use common sense and don't panic.

Good luck.

Heaps of luck & best wishes coming your way for your test on Tuesday. Like a few others on the thread I passed my test back in good ol'89... if they still do the sitting in the car asking questions after the test then watch out for the road sign questions - I was a little nervous & when he showed me a triangular sign with a red border & the silhouette of a cow on it I just blurted out - Danger, COWS! He laughed (luckily for me) & said well Beware cattle would have been better but you have the idea

My little tip would be to wear clothing that you find really comfortable - the last thing you want is to be sitting all uncomfy when you should be thinking about driving Good Luck & let us know how you get on.

No, hun, that's what the theory test is for nowadays

I know it's easy for me to say, but just try and keep calm, and as others have said, don't panic and go to pot if you know you've made a minor mistake. Remember: you CAN do it, as your instructor would not have put you in for the test if they didn't think that you could pass. Good Luck!

When I first went to leave the test centre the examiner wanted me to turn right - it was a really busy road in Cambridge midafternoon and the traffic was almost solid. I kept looking for a gap and then afterwards thinking "could have made that maybe" in the end I got out the junction but it felt like it'd taken forever and I was convinced I'd been too overcautious.

Needless to say the examiner agreed that I'd taken the first available gap so my fretting wasn't warranted and I passed.

So don't worry about anything you think may have affected it and just take each junction, turning, whatever in your stride

Good luck

Ooh, don't have any advice, haven't taken mine yet (theory in a few weeks though! eep!) but good luck!

Good Luck, keep calm!!

Relax. You don't have to drive perfectly, you just have to drive safely.

You don't learn how to drive untill you've got a car of yer own

don;t play a guitar the night before with your neck bent over for hours. i did that and the next morning couldn't move my neck properly so could not rever round a corner and failed

Firstly best of luck hunny, I think everyone has said all I would say, just try and stay calm I know that is easier said than done. Remember the driving tester isnt out to fail you he is out to pass you

*hugs*

well this morning i really had butterflies,i hardly slept in the night due to nerves and it being too hot but the main news is

I PASSED

i got 5 minor faults but i still did better than i thought i would,there was a few times that i thought i had failed.so now im happy and watch out on the roads lol

thanks for all the help and support guys *hugs*
