Driving test tomorrow - 3rd attempt and I am crapping myself now

Mondo · 15-03-2007, 00:52

I am REALLY nervous, more nervous than the last 2 attempt. The strange thing is I am more prepared, and a better driver than i was in the first 2 test. I had switched instructor, got rid of some bad habits, driving more confidently but right now I can't think of nothing else but the test.....................I can almost throw up, its that bad.

Seriously calm the hell down, i know it is easy for me to say that but it is really important. Just remember that you are so much better than you were before, it is not the end of the world you have already proved that by doing this before.
I sat my second test 2 days after getting my back tattooed, i was in pain, covered in cream and had just had an injection in my butt (my instructor was waiting outside in the car for me to drive to the test centre when i got it) thought i was going to fail i was sick with nerves.
During the test i hit the kerb and thought that was it, after i drove like it didn't matter as i thought i had failed so the pressure was off.
My advice, go cook or make something amazing then get your arse into bed. Worse thing in the world is being stupidly tired and trying to concentrate.

The test is the last one in the day at 3, so i won't get picked up til 2. Got the day off so i will/should get plenty of rest (8+ hours). But I've been thinking of nothing else but this for weeks now, really need to pass too if i want to get a job outside this town.

STOP THINKING ABOUT IT LIKE THAT!

You are putting more pressure than you need to on yourself. Even if you don't do as well as you could, phone up everyday and see if there are any cancellations. (That is how i got my second test so quickly, i didn't really have time to think about it.)
You and your instructor think you are ready to sit the test. You have the incentive to pass, it shouldn't be a pressure, once you pass you have more oppertunity.
I will be sending you my magnetic P plates as soon as you need them.

Awww thanks

I do feel a little better now, may be i need to get it off my chest, home alone tonight, the one time i need a hug !

I am ready, the instructor thinks so too (and he used to be a Examiner himself), so it'll be all on the day, touch wood, fingers crossed and the rest !

Good luck from me.
I won't say anything at all for fear of putting the Mockers on it 'cept wishing you all my luck @3pm tomorrow

So chinese people really can't drive then?

I thought that was just a myth!

I joke - don't let the fact it's your third go get you het up, just do the best you can and chill about it and do it

Good luck mate
