Ok, so I suffer from social anxiety and thinking about doing my test tomorrow makes me want to throw up.

Any tips for during my test? And any tips to stay calm? :smile:

Pull your self together. Ignore the examiner and just drive the car and think what the heck.

Update: I failed! Wooo!


I got 5 minors and a major. The major was because I almost turned into a 'taxis and buses only' road. He had to verbally intervene, so it's a major. F***ing brilliant. I'm kicking myself for such a stupid mistake and I hate how i'm gonna have to put myself through it again. The rest of the test was SO easy too! My manueover was a bay park in the test centre car parking space too! ArGhHh!

People have failed for even smaller things such as missing an observation - don't get too hung up about it! Try and look up the possible test routes and know what time bus lanes are in operation - if you're taking the test on a Saturday you might be able to use them and show the examiner that you know what you're doing!

Nah, i'm not talking about bus lanes, i'm talking about a specific road for taxis and buses into the high street, there were signs telling me not to go that way. I'm such a mug :frown:

The most annoying part is i've done SO many lessons. I've been doing them since last summer. I can't really remember the price. I'm doing manual and using my own car (if you use your own car lessons are cheaper usually).

I use All-in-one driving test DVD. It's really good, and I use an app linked with the DVD too. Do you not use the official DSA book or whatever? I wanted to get it but my friends have said it's not that necessary.
