Driving theory test

Hi,
I started revising for my driving theory test about two weeks ago and I’m consistently getting 48-49/50 on the multiple choice questions and 4-5 on the individual hazard test videos (a range of 58-65 ish in total).
I have my driving theory test booked in for next Wednesday but now my anxiety is through the roof. I haven’t had a single panic attack since last November and now I just have a sense of panic hanging over me.

I have a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree but the last exam I sat was back in 2020. I am petrified of failure and what that means for me if I fall below the pass mark. I know I can just resist the test but I cannot manage weeks (or even months) of further panic attacks. A part of me wants to cancel the test completely so that I don’t have to attend but I know I will have to do it at a later date anyway.

I secured 49/50 on my last mock test and that was during a panic attack about twenty minutes ago.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I’ll be honest, it’s not worth the stress. It’s a very easy test and if you fail you can just do another, it’s less daunting than the real driving test. You’ll be fine.

I didn’t revise at all for it and still passed my theory first time.
