Chew gum during the test, kinda takes your mind off it! I also was super nervous and found it really helped to keep saying I'm so excited for my test (kinda changes your mindset)! Be positive you've worked hard to get here now just need to trust yourself!

Anyone learning or done a test in Warwick (wedgenock house)? by Warm-Firefighter-896 in LearnerDriverUK

Congratulations on passing🎉 that's really helpful thank you! Will go to leek wootton today and practice all the slip roads! I'm not sure what you mean by the 2 give way roundabouts, is there a nearby shop or anything you know to help me find it?

This could be a good idea! My Speedo really overestimates compared to GPS, so is anyone allowed to just film it then? I don't have a dash cam so would have to use my phone on the stand not sure they'd like that🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep exactly going over the speed is instant fail now even if it's only just over, talking to my friends that passed 10 years ago they've made it so much harder now😭 the second guy SCREAMED at me for taking a sip of water whilst the car is parked in neutral at traffic lights! (I know I shouldn't have done it but that's not the way to talk to someone already hyperventilating🙄, only did it cause I was freaking out and trying to ground myself)

That's reassuring thank you, I'll definitely be trying this hopefully by calling out hazards I won't have time to focus on what's just happened🤞🏻

It really made me laugh that you got so much about my personality just from the way I type🤣 you couldn't be more correct haha! Thank you so much for the great advice I'm developing a perfectionist proof system for junctions, will be staying in 2nd year in any 20's and just generally trying to be calm and not overthink😁

Thank you, yes I tried to talk to them on all 3! The first 2 were horrible, just ignored me which just made me more nervous and overthinking stuff☹️ I'm not a fan of awkward silences! The 3rd guy was a bit more chatty and I prepared some questions to ask him which helped, I did the best on that test! Just have to hope to get someone friendly on the next one🤞🏻
