[Kate77]

just relax, pretend it is a driving lesson and enjoy! I passed on the 3rd time!!!! GOOD LUCK :-) x

[loopyc]

try some rescue remedy you can get it from boots superdrug etc, it will calm your nerves so you can concertrate on passing, good luck x

[jeanette1976]

Try taking a Kalm tablet or something similar, my mate did this when going for an interview and she got the job! Good luck! ;D

[whiskeysheri]

The above suggestions are good.

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck, hun and remember- THIRD TIME LUCKY! ;o) xxx

[Carakeel]

Just want to wish you a really good and successful day, havingmysay! All will be fine, I'm sure. Just imagine the driving instructor naked and smile ... after all he / she is no different to you (LOL)! Best of luck! xx :o)

[ringwood]

good luck!
i have sat mine 7 times and still not passed and so i know how you feel !
nerves always get the better of me!!

you will be fine though. deep breaths and rescue remedy will do it !!

Hiya.I failed my test 4 times due to nerves - I was a good driver but the second I got in a test I went to jelly and could barely drive the car.So I gave up for about a year then my boyfriend at the time persuaded me to apply again,and the test came through - for the day of my 20th birthday!

I was taken out for lunch and had a couple of vodka and oranges,as my test wasn't till 4pm.Must have calmed the nerved - as I passed!! But I wouldn't recommend the pub beforehand - good luck and Im sure you will be fine.

[loobie]

Good luck and I agree with Loopy, use rescue remedy. It worked for me!! Let us know how you get on xxx

[~Floella~]

Good Luck. My daughter passed on her 7th attempt. She is a good driver but went to pieces in her tests. Treat it like a lesson and relax, easy advice but not so easy to follow I know.
At least you know you have the backing of us on AB.
fingers crossed for tomorrow, third time lucky.

Oh god, it's like reading my own test experiences on here....I have taken mine 5 times and nerves have gotten the best of me every time. Just like Ringwood and Floella's comments, I am a good driver but I go to pieces when the exminer gets in the car!
Havinmysay, I would suggest relaxing tonight, try and do something to keep your mind off it (coz if your anything like me, you will work yourself up and not sleep well tonight). Friends have told me rescue remedy or kalms worked for them, but I haven't tried them so I wouldn't know. There really aint anything I can say to you, other than, I know how you feel but if you just think to yourself, 'I will pass one day', it kinda takes the pressure off yourself!
GOOD LUCK, my fingers are crossed for ya! PS, What time is your test coz the vodka thing might work if you have enough time for the alcohol to wear off!

my brotha has his on novemba 7th and hes soo not ready! i bet you will do great! gud luck huni xx

[havinmysay]

thanks everyone im the same as all of u im a good driver but not in tests.my test is at 11.41 so not enough time for any alcohol,maybe thats a good thing though x

[Roughquest]

When I took my test, my instructor just said the following to me "Just give your examiner a SAFE drive".
Simple.

[whiskeysheri]

How did you get on, hun? xxx

[havinmysay]

unfortunatly i failed 3 minors and 2 serious oh well better luck next time.Thanks for asking xxx

[gill3891]

That sucks! What were the seriouses?! I bet it was silly little things. Unlucky, but better luck next time! x

[maidon]

i know it's too late, and I'm very sorry that you didn't pass - but someone told my brother to eat 2 bananas before his test (I know it sounds weird but seemingly they have something in them that helps calm you). anyway he did and he passed, my mum passed this tip on and other people say it helped.

anyway, good luck for next time !
