    Most of us had to have 2 or more attempts to pass, in my case it took 3 attempts, so we know how disappointing and frustrating it can be. I was confident in all my tests but like most I was also nervous, as the test got going I was more relax.

    Many good advice on here, probably best not to tell anyone next time you have a test and you could decide whether you want your instuctor in the car for the test, that might help as someone pointed out, the examiner are being watched too. All I can say it put in for another test when you get over the disappointment of today. It will take a couple of months to get the date, then start the lessons again.

    In fact, might be an idea to pay for tests rather than too many more lessons?

    Is it an option for you to drive with someone else - possibly a family member? For some people this works, but it depends on how calm everyone is and could lead to the worst arguments..
  • I failed my first test because of nerves - I was physically shaking... I asked my doctor for some beta blockers and she gave me a prescription for a week's worth (you have to start taking them a few days in advance). I hadn't heard of rescue remedy at the time - if I had, I might have tried that first.
  • I passed 4th time lol, TBH I think your a better driver when you pass after several attemps
