Take some big, deep breaths and remember that you are ready for this and you are capable of passing!

Good luck.

Talk to the examiner to break the ice; they are just humans. It will make you feel more comfortable. Think of the test as another driving lesson rather than a pass/fail exam. Don’t worry if you make a small mistake, they’re normal and we all make them! just breathe and move on. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Good luck @Gallyone 🤞

Try to treat it as just another lesson.
If you don't understand what's asked of you, don't be afraid to ask them to repeat or explain what they mean.
Check and adjust your mirrors before you set off and make a point of looking in your mirrors regularly.

All the best! 😃

Feel confident! Keep reminding yourself that you can drive and are ready for your test. I passed mine in my late 30s. A colleague told me to go to it thinking that it's the first one just a practice but I decided no, I am going to pass.

Don't rush, tell the instructor if you want to chat or just have the directions. Get everything ready - sun and rain where you are? Make sure you have sunglasses in reach.

Good luck!! No advice other than deep breaths. Remember the examiner knows and understands you are nervous.

Eat a banana! I don’t know why but I was given that advice on my 3rd test and passed. Good luck.
