Relax...
If you had a good instructor, that taught you all; well.
It will all come back to you so clearly while undertaking your test.
Good Luck.
My Self:
I took my secound test at 9am, the best time IMO.
Spent the first 30 minutes crawling in traffic, then only had 15 minutes, to complete 2 manuevers including parking at the test centre.
In that time, the tester observed excellent car control an awareness at all times, considering I had cyclists + pedestrians walking out infront of the car.
Past - 2 Minors.
One was apparently reversing, an not looking back.
One been too close (Not Touching) kerb, while doing 3 point turn.
Easier said than done but try and relax. Remember the worst that can happen is you don't pass and need to resit it. Annoying but no great shakes.
When I sat my test back in 1990 about 10 mins in I stalled it at a roundabout. I then convinced that I had failed, just went through the motions to the best of my ability until we got back to the test centre, resigned to the fact that I had most probably failed.
I passed.
Best of luck!!!.

I think most people will have been rushing to work a good hour or even 2 before that!
Exactly this
hehe, let me know how you get on
and for the rest of ya i will give a progress report once im back hehe
the only thing im worried about is the independant driving part as im unfamiliar of the surroundings.
and reverse parallel park as i tend to go a little to close to the curb when turning back staight. but i know i will do fine if i take my time i tend to panic lol

Traffic shouldn't be too bad at 9:15, you're just seeing the tail end of it. Schoolies will be sorted out, since most are 8:30->9, and most work people are aiming for 9 too due to doign the 9-5.
If anything, I'd say that's an OK time to do your test.
Little tip for you though, is to be talkative and keep in conversation if you can manage it. It'll show you're confident about your driving, and also less likely the examiner will be bored and therefore not work twice as hard to find a fault with you.

9:15 is probably the best time to do it,
An Examiner has 4-5 routes they mainly use during a driving test, and to properly test your ability they will want to avoid the main roads and being stuck in traffic for the whole test, this then eliminates some of the routes, i would not be surprised if you are kept on back roads,
I was kept on back roads and the instructor could not find a proper space for me to do reverse parking so i only did one manouver in my test!!
Best of Luck i am sure you will be fine

Now that's bang in the middle of rush hour traffic. Good luck
I'm gonna try and get mine on a saturday at that kind of time. Do you just book a test and they throw a date at you, or do you say "I want x day, am/pm"?
