I haven't told anyone it's my driving test today

[BigBumandMumTum]

And I'm nervous and have no one to talk to.
Everyone thinks it's a regular lesson, except my instructor obviously so there's no one to reassure me or wish me luck.

I'm a good driver, my instructor has a good pass time rate but my nerves are going to get the better of me, I know it

Deep breaths, concentrate and don't be put off if you do something wrong. Good luck!

Good luck!! You'll be fine x

Good luck! Try standing like WonderWoman for 2 minutes before your test. There’s a TED talk that shows that standing in a power pose before an interview reduces anxiety and increases confidence so you’re more likely to get the job. Worth a try?

FWIW I was really nervous but I still passed. I actually did something which I thought meant I’d failed so then I relaxed. Turned out to be a minor!

What time is your test?

Deep breaths will help. It is nerve racking but that’s the point I guess to prove you can drive well you under pressure. Good luck

You can do it @BigBumandMumTum

How exciting! Good luck

Good luck! I hope you have a smooth, easy run.

That TED talk is here if you need something to distract you. It’s about 20 minutes long but worth watching.

Good Luck!

Good luck! I was a bag of nerves for mine and I passed! The examiner laughed at me doing a power pose but I think it helped

GOOD LUCK!

Good luck. Nerves are normal. Treat it like a normal lesson

I did what Faith suggests above and I passed! Also chewed gum throughout, I found that helped massively.
I was absolutely terrified, after 3 epic fails when I was 21, I'd given up for 10 years. And then I passed! Best of luck!

Good luck @BigBumandMumTum !!

Good luck! There will be a loo at the test centre, that’s a good place to do your power pose
I found that talking myself through the test in my head, in a calm way, helped. I even told myself to stay calm and keep going.
I also took my driving instructor as a passenger in the back, for moral support.

Good luck, if I can pass, you can pass!

Good luck! I just thought of it as though I was giving the examiner a lift somewhere and refused to dwell on the test aspect. It was much less scary than I'd been expecting and about 5 minutes in I realised I was rather enjoying it. You can do this!

I'm in at 10.17, he's picking me up at 9.

I'm really nervous 😳

Good luck, you'll be back later telling us you have passed!

This will be me in a couple of weeks!

Good luck OP!

Good luck!

Why don’t you tell someone?

Good luck, I’m sure you will reply later to say you’ve passed?

Good luck! It's never as bad as you think it is in your head. I honesty thought I'd failed mine because of a disastrous (to me) reverse around the corner and dodgy hill start (normally good but nerves got to me) and I actually passed! Just try to keep calm even if you feel like it's not going to plan.

Because failure is not an option in my family. If I tell them I failed they will take the piss for ever, like they still do to my dad who passed 25 years ago 😒

Good luck.

I totally get the family thing OP. Best of luck from the West Midlands!
