Im not particularly nevrous and but i really dont want to muck up. What are good tips to keep calm and relax , like night before. I dont wana not be able to get to sleep.
I had a rough lesson the other day as i was feeling poorly and couldnt concentrate although it still went reasonably well but it knocked me abit.
I want to feel confiedent about going in for it and want to feel calm. Any tips , foods and exercise that is good for keeping a positive state of mind.
I really need to believe in myself (which i do) but i wana feel like im gona come out with a pass, dont want negativite thorts or nerves to creep in like a bat outa ****

thanks

It sounds so obvious, but focusing on your breath for several minutes - slow, even breaths - lowers your blood pressure and helps keep you chilled out

i'm teaching my daughter to drive right now...i suggest that you become familiar with the area where you are taking the test...if possible, go a few days before and follow someone who is taking the test...good luck!

Thanks yeah im familiar with area it should be okay guess im just a bit concerned as i failed first time round and then i had a 3year break,,,,,,,,so would really mean alot this time ....and im starting my own mobile business so its really a must.

Anyone tried kalms? i hear they are meant to be good ?

Get lots of sleep the night before, eat a breakfast that involves a complex carb and some protein (simple carbs will make you sleepy so avoid!) and take the test in mid-morning (~10 AM) when there isn't much traffic. Relax, and remember that you do know what you're doing. You will be a lot more cautious having a person in the car judging you (seemingly) but don't worry, everyone else has been there. We've all been just as nervous and managed to pass. You can do it!

I just recently passed my driver's test, and what helped me was chewing gum like one of the poster's above and before my scheduled driver's test I followed one of the tester's through the driving course.
I just had this little chant in my head saying, "YES I CAN" the entire time.
good luck!

Thanks guys , your added support is great, I havent told anyone the date but its coming up soon and really want it 2 be a nice surprise to everyone , espesh my boyfriend as he payed for my lessons x

My number one tip is to breathe ! The person who tested me was super understanding of my being nervous, I guess they get a lot of people going through there with nerves. This probably won't help, but its really not as bad as some people make it sound, most of the people doing the testing are actually very nice
