Failed my 6th driving test.

I suffer from anxiety and whenever I have my test I always end up failing.
My Instructor does not understand either because when I'm having my usual lessons I am fine!

I feel like my.parents are secretly annoyed with me too but it is not my fault. I have anxiety and I just end up getting so nervous. I have tried taking tablets etc beforehand to help reduce stress but they do not seem to work.

I agree. When I worked as a driving instructor I had many people who were nervous just like you, but I very rarely had to take someone for test more than twice. People blame themselves, the examiners, the testing system - but they never seem to think that their driving instructor may be at fault. Yet in my experience working as driving examiner, I have found that the majority of test failures are brought about by poor quality training.
