How to control my nerves

3 replies

BreakdownInevitable · 17/07/2023 15:36

I have my driving test next week - on a normal day I feel I can drive relatively confidently, but I become a bag of nerves in a test situation & just lose my ability to think straight and process instructions - I literally shake.

Has anyone got any good strategies I can use on the day?

Can you go driving beforehand that day?

Eat a banana?

Yes, I have a lesson directly beforehand - and I'm driving everyday at the moment, it's just the test conditions (lack of small talk etc) that really get to me.

I will eat a banana though, thank you!
