    my daughter used an oral spray called CALMS, spray a couple of times on the tongue about an hour before the test, or in my daughter's case about half a dozen times :eek: I also sat in on her test which seemed to have a calming effect. I'll never forget when she pulled up at the test centre after her test, looked in her rear view mirror and gave me the quizical, have I or haven't I look. I gave her the nod, flying colours... That was her 6th test, she's been driving now for 7 months and is very competent, just the test situation that was stopping her.

    Good Luck to you all
