Driving Test

I’ve got my driving test ina couple of weeks after failing my first one. I can drive absolutely fine, like my instructor says that there is nothing wrong with my driving, but i’m so nervous every time we do mock tests because i screwed up my first test, and keep making mistakes than can be considered serious faults. I’m getting really anxious about my new test bc of this and i really don’t wanna screw this one up. how did other people deal with/ just drive with their nerves without failing?

With me, i just kept practicing. Doing test routes helped me out.

Would having your instructor in the back of the car with you help?

I did last time lol
It made me more comfortable than if i was to be alone that’s for sure
I passed the mock test we did today after trying the “after you make a mistake, reset and move on” rather than just accumulating all my mistakes in my brain which just makes me more nervous and frazzled
