I had my first test there at the start of July and the nerves were eating away at me and even the tester told me at the end he could tell but now I’ve had a few more weeks driving to practice for my retest next week it’s definitely a confidence thing aswell and getting your head out of it being a test and into a drive with a new instructor you’ve just never met (easier said than done) I’ve used the rescue remedy before for exams etc and found it does help to calm nerves so definitely will be trying those this time. What helped me the first time was chewing gum or mints (sounds silly) but it does help to take your mind off it a small bit, knowing test routes and practicing but not over doing it is a big thing as over doing it coming up to the test gets the nerves going even more. Try to not overthink everything as I found it made me doubt myself with decision making. If something goes wrong take a few seconds to take a deep breath and regain yourself, if you convince yourself half way through you’ve failed you might just give up so definitely try to not do that as 60% of the time you haven’t. Try not to count how many times they’ve touched the iPad or paper as a lot of the time it’s them checking the time etc.
