I had my driving test today, started out going fine...did my 3-point turn and whatnot perfectly.
I wasn't nervous about my parallel parking because everytime i'd done it before it had been perfect. I got into the parking spot, realized I was too far away from the curb, tried to get in closer. But then I realized the woman who was giving my test was staring at a frickin' stopwatch the entire time, and there were like twenty people on the side of the lot watching me. I froze up, forgot what I was supposed to do, and just tried to wing it.
Needless to say, I failed. But then again, i've never tried parallel parking in the car I was driving today...
Anybody have any advice on test anxiety and parallel parking? I'm super hard on myself when I fail something and i'm so upset that I let that woman get in my head and throw me off. I'm retaking the test next week and I want to be prepared next time.
HELP PLEASE!
