    I'm assuming you mean your driving test, as you had the results of the other one some time ago, lol.

    Give yourself plenty of time prior to the test to prepare yourself, I had a lesson before mine, just to clear up any issues I had. Also, silly as it might seem, my instructor wrote "L" and "R" on the rear view mirror to dictate the relevant direction you should go when askeed to turn left/right. As I said, sounds silly, but you'll be surprised at the number of people who indicate left when Mr Examiner asked to turn right, lol.

    Good Luck!

    I always find that a couple of stiff drinks calms me down ..... ;)

    Seriously though, good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just remember, the examiner is not trying to catch you out. Also remember, if the examiner seems a bit cold and detached - he's just doing his job, he's not allowed to chat to you about anything not directly concerned with the test, so don't take it personally !
