For example, if you're doing a shoulder check, announce it. That way if you make a mistake and catch it you might still pass - my friend didn't come to a complete stop, but because he corrected himself his instructor let it go. Also, try to calm down! I know it's really stressful, but I agree with bubbloo24 - everything happens for a reason. Just go with it, everything will work out. Don't worry about being stressed out, either. Good luck :)

 cant give tips on passing accept try and keep carm on the driving test and dont let the jitter's get you, i always say to myself when im not in control

also have faith in your ability.

 First of all keep calm and relax and you must get sleep.
Strange how we all feel vulnerable and nervous for the driving test.
Good luck! I remember having a pre-test lesson which went badly, but the actual test I passed.
Just be in a zone so to speak and focus bit by bit on doing everything in a precise way like make it obvious you check your mirrors all the time etc.

 Right. One thing is for sure. If you walk in like this you will NOT pass. I'm sorry but I'm not going to beat around the bush.
You need to listen to some soothing music, drink a warm drink with malt in it to help you sleep, eat lots of fruit, go out for runs to get rid of access energy you have and drink lots of water. Feeling that you look good will make you feel better about yourself. May sound stupid, but it worked for me.
Confidence and a positive mind gets you everywhere. You have to get into that car and visualise in your mind that you say to the examiner "I'm gonna show you how to drive!"
Start listening to some self empowerment music. Music that makes you feel happy and music that makes you feel like you can conquer all.
You need to accept that if it goes wrong, it goes wrong. There's nothing you can do about it and that's that. It's harsh hun, but you have to just get on with it and accept everything that is thrown at you.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe it's your time to pass, maybe it's not. But that shouldn't make you feel that you are going to fail for definite.
Listen to music that makes you feel that you could do anything, and then whilst listenin to that music, look into the mirror and say "I can do this. I can drive. I'm gonna get in that car and I'm going to give it my all."
If you don't pass, it's NOT the end of the world. Take deep breaths and come to terms with the fact that you don't know how this will turn out. It could turn out either way but that you will give it your best shot.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best.
Take care xx

 I know exactly what you mean my drivers test is tomorrow and I'm wicked nervous because that is how I will get back and forth to college next semester. The key is to relax and and especially when you are driving. Remember the rules however try to stay almost as relaxed and focussed as possible. When you get there try to pretend like they aren't even there.
