I have my driving test tomorrow and i am getting gradually more nervous,

When i get really nervous i tend to need to visit the bathroom for (without a nicer way to put it) rather sloppy number 2s, a hell of a lot, like 3-4 times per hour :eek: , i have no idea why but it has been the same since GCSEs,

So... can anyone at OcUK recommend any tips to calm myself down before the test tomorrow, the test is only 40 mins so i can probably cope but the hour and a half lesson beforehand and the 5-10mins in that little room will kill me.
 
the 40 mins will fly by

dont worry if your lesson beforehand is a bit "off" either. thats just the nerves. my instructor said (and rightly so) that my lesson before the test was one of the worst hed ever seen :/ . so he was rather suprised when i came back with only 1 minor.

theres nothing to worry about really its just like any other lesson
 
Two outcomes.

You pass, everyone is happy.

You fail, you can take the test again. It isn't the end of the world.

Nothing really to worry about.
 
Just think of it as any other lesson and you will be fine. They aint there to bite your head off. They're generally very nice people :). Good luck :)
 
Just treat it as a normal lesson. The 40 minutes will fly by, and you won't actually be out driving for all of that anyway.

I was very nervous before my test, so nervous in fact that I didn't get any sleep the night before. I still managed to come back with only 2 minors though, and I didn't believe how quickly the test went.

Good luck :).

Indeed! It goes really quick. I remember setting off from the test center and it seemed as though only five minutes went by as I was pulling back in!

Pretty sure my test only lasted about 25 minutes, too (that's 5 minutes checks on the car / introduction, 5 minutes for manouvers(sp?) leaving only about 15 minutes actual driving)!

Just treat it as a driving lesson and you'll do fine. Best of luck to ya :)
 
I too was really really nervous, but like most people have said once your in the car you'll be fine. The waiting for your instructor to turn up is the killer, i was sat there twiddling my thumbs and pacing about. Then to make it worse he got the time wrong and i didn't even have time for a full hour lesson before, i just had to drive straight there. As soon as i was in the car it was just like another lesson and everything just seemed to come together.
