As in title really got my test tommorow, havent had a lesson for two weeks though :p any tips for controlling nerves? because I know I can do it I just get nervous :)
 
Talk to the instructor, just try and forget that he is there and do not look at what he's writing down:D

I wasn't nervous whilst driving but waiting in the room before I was nervous.

Try eating a banana, that will settle your nerves.
 
Good luck.

The tip that is most likely help you pass is........

Make sure you go to the toilet before you go. You dont want to need to go mid test and be busting or you lose all concentration because your brain goes to your arse :p

Ive had my P's(provisional, can drive with out a licenced diver in the car) back around January this year :)

Once you get them and dont need to drive with a licenced driver its so much more fun and relaxing :)

Good luck my ginger friend :)
 
Good luck to you mate. Are you having a lesson beforehand?

Try not to think of it in terms of pass or fail, just remember to be very observant.

Im from Australia, each state has there very own set of road and licencing laws :rolleyes:
So ill explain what my licence laws are for my state :)

When we turn 16 we can get our licence. Which you get by doing a theory test with 2 sections. A 42 questions common knowledge questions section and a section of 8 give way questions.
To pass that you are have to get at least 32 common knowledge questions right and every give way question right.
If you pass that you get your L's (learners permit) which you are stuck on for 6 months and you need to have a fully licenced driver with you at all times and cant go over 80kph. And you must display a yellow and black L plate front and back of the car. You also only have 1 point to loose.

After 6 months you can then get your P's(provisional licence).
To get that you can either do "log book" which is driving with a driving instructor doing a fair few lessons and he ticks off every thing as you learn it and you have a very quick and simple exam at the end which can be past easy.
Or you can go and do a test which is do every thing completely right and with very little margin of error and pass straight up like that(the cheaper but harder of the 2).
Once you get you P's you can drive all by your self when ever you want but you cant go over 100kph and you must display a White and red P plate on the front and back of the car.
You are stuck on your P's for 2 years and after that time if you lost your Points you then get your full licence.
With your P's you have 4 points you can loose.

BTW down here the more points you have the better because they deduct points not add them.

Did i explain well? :)

I went to the toilet had a can of red bull and am about to eat a bannana they better work! :p

red bull, that makes me irratable but bannana's are very good!
 
Had mine about 10 days ago. The hours drive beforehand is the bit when you're most nervous. When it came to the actual test, I just sat there and just did it. I ignored everything he wrote down too, although I was tempted to look at his clipboard. The test went very quickly too. Getting sutkc behind a learner for 10 minutes was good since I didn't have to wrry so much about speed. Also, like most people, there will be a point in the test where you've think you've failed. This can help you to relax sicne you think you've failed. But don't let it destroy your concentration completely. I did all this and passed first time, which isn't bad considering I had a mock the day before and got 5 majors. :p
 
Try not to perform more than three or four hand brake turn maneuvers, and when you do attempt them, make sure you THOUGHROUGLY check your mirrors, if you dont.. you will be in trouble!

Kidding anyway (duh?)

Good luck!

P.S. Watch those mirrors
