I had 4 attempts at passing mine - first one I had one minor fault, second I apparently didn't drive fast enough on the dual carriageway (50mph on a day the town flooded and I could barely see out the windscreen!), third time my instructor's car was in for repairs and I used a replacement which I'd never drived before (so constant stalling) and then on the 4th time, I just went in and didn't even try to pass. I knew circumstances were against me previously and all I had to do was just drive and really didn't care if I passed or failed. It worked, I passed and was told it was one of the best drives he'd seen. The old charmer.
Good luck - relax totally. Try not to get bogged down by passing or failing but by relaxing and just accepting what happens during the course of the test. It sounds simple, but the day that I stopped focusing on the pass or fail, I gave a wonderful drive!!!!
Now, 12 accident-free years later, I can laugh about the ones I didn't pass.Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -

Thanks !! My nerves are still holding up, although I am consciously trying to ignore my butterfly stomach
Just thought a little bit of MSE distraction might be good.

lol... glad to see you're not clock watching! I've only been passed three years so know you've already done all the hard work... stoopid theory and hazard perception... so it's time to show them all how good you are..
