I have my first driving test tomorrow and I am terrified. Does anyone have any advice for nerves, confidence or help with passing the tests? I have taken Rescue Remedy and have 3 confidence boosting books, a hypnotherapy cd and I am doing the Hazard Perception CDROM over and over again (I don’t know why I think that will help) but I am still a bag of nerves.
I know how you feel, Ive failed twice now, my first test went great nerves wise but unfortunately I failed with 8 minors and 1 major, I felt so confident that I still done so well on my first I got home and booked my next test for 2 weeks later now this test was the most horrid thing Ive ever done the fella that done my test was horrible to me all the way thought and then failed me with 21 minors, it just goes to show how much affect the test people have on you, Ive got my next test on Tuesday 9Th January and I’m going in with the attitude that I will pass my test I am a good driver and I’m not going to let anyone put me down so try it a little attitude and lots of confidants good luck.
just drive like when you were practicing with your parent/instructor! relax! its not the end of the world if you don’t pass the first time– most people don’t. you’re stressing wayyy too much! have a nice night sleep and a good breakfast with your family tomorrow!
I was really scared and nervous before my test, I am afraid I failed the 1st one but passed my second one.
Do some affirmations in the mirror and tell yourself you are a good drive you will be calm and collected etc. Most of all drive to the best of your abilities and remember that if your instructor did not think you could do it they would not have recomended you take the test.
Believe in yourself and imagine it is just another lesson, after all the worst that could happen is you will fail, you can take the test again, no one will die it will be annoying but you’ll be OK.
humm. Not too sure where youare, but in Texas you can retake the test three times in a row…so don’t worry about it…the more you stress the less confidence!!! Just glance over the book…the questions are dumb…literally..they’re like “what sign is this?” and it has shapes…one being an octagon and the answer would be a stop sign…the best thing to study is the fines, but i didn’t and I ended up doing fine on my test..past it the first time, but just don’t worry about it!!….
