Failed my practical

Hey, so today I failed my first attempt of my practical test which means I'll have to retake it. I think the main reason I failed was because I was so nervous and so kept making stupid mistakes.

So I was wondering, does anyone know of any ways that I can get rid of my nerves so I can pass please!?

Thanks!

Hey Emma, I failed my test on Tuesday due to a driver not indicating properly at a roundabout (not at all) and me moving forward, was aware of his presence but was creeping forward. The examiner deemed it unsafe and I failed. Thought it was unfair at the time, still do now, but I know I was in the wrong.

Enough about me, I did pretty well on the test excusing that matter, only got 4 minors. A big reason I was able to do so was because I managed to stay calm. What you have to do is be confident in your own ability - know that you're in control. Think of the test like another lesson, picture the fact that you're taking your mum shopping! lol, you also need to make the examiner see your confidence. This can be done by talking to him/her, explaining what you're doing and why, say for my example of how I failed; if I had stayed behind the dashed lines and said to the examiner "The car has no indicators on, I don't know where he's going, I'm going to wait until he passes" he'll know that I'm aware of the danger and that even if I am hesitating, there's a good reason for it.

That's all you really can do, you know, be confident in your actions and in your mind, your hands and feet and your mouth.

It could also help if you brought someone who can give you moral support, depends if you think that'll make things worse or not to be honest.

Try and get as much driving done with different people so that when it comes to the test, it doesn't matter who is in the car and it's all natural for you!

Hope this helps and I wish you luck in the future, see you on the road
