I have my Driving Test today and my instructor says and I quote " I am more than ready" and " I have all the right skills to pass" but I sometime have really bad concentration particularly when there is other stuff on my mind, which there is at the moment, not to mention the nerves.. :|
help ?
 
I took mine 6 times before passing last week...

Be confident, greet them with a smile, DO NOT FORGET YOUR PAPERWORK!

Dont worry about concentration, adrenaline will take over, you'll be fine.

Dont drink too much coffee or energy drinks and the most important thing is to stay calm. I failed for ridiculous reasons and I changed my test centre and passed straightaway. The kirb is your enemy, dont ever touch it on a manoevre. Check your mirrors constantly (They'll only be looking for this for the first 10 mins).

Wish you all the luck in the world hunny, hope you pass, please update the question later and let us all know.xx
 
Nerves are the biggest reason to fail but are not easy to control.Have a decent meal before your test and your nervous system will shut down a bit.

Too late to do much now other than to focus on the job in hand. dwelling on whatever else is on your mind will not help those things - decide what to do about the other things and then put them to one side until after the test.
 
First don't think that you will fail, if you keep thinking you will fail you will.
Try staying calm as much as possible, if you made a minor mistake and you know it, just forget about it. You get around 14 mistakes I think ( I don't remember)think one mistake oh well, just be more careful. Don't make a mistake and panic, or give up.
Remember the automatic fails, I don't know them all, but I learned them through my friends, and driving instructor.
-automatic fail if you drive pass a stop sign, drive on a crosswalk, hit the bumper while trying to park your car.
more tips
-Make sure the instructor sees you looking right, and left and all your mirrors. Make it super obvious,exaggerate more than normal. You might get mark down if you jest use your eyes to look left and right, cause the examiner might not see it.
-Forget the other stuff, think of driving only.
I said it already but BE CALM.
 
Sit and relax. brush up on some of your theory stuff, and don't panic or get cross with people if they wish you good luck (like I did - i kept thinking they were going to jinks it)

Also don't drink too much coffee/tea/red bull or any sort of energy drink unless your sure that I wont effect your concentration.

And go there with a smile, and be confident in what you do. and don't crash.
