I'll third Blackstar's comments (even though I'm a non-driver). Last thing you need is to put pressure on yourself.

Good luck.

Drive like a maniac - if the instructor has his eyes closed in fear he cant see what you are doing and cant fail you

Seriously though, just relax and dont tell the instructor you are an alcoholic and you will be fine

Good luck!

I also only passed after I thought I'd screwed up (worrying trend?). Messed up my reverse around a corner but then the instructor reckoned another car had messed me up and asked me to re-do it, and passed.

I think the instructor makes a huge diff as well, hopefully you'll get someone better this time.

Anyway, look forward to learning how to actually drive once you pass, that's when it really begins!

I've PASSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 minors. (3rd try)

Like lots of people here i thought i'd failed, I actually thought i failed before even leaving the test centre. Had to do a reverse bay park straight away and the car was over the lines so i had to straighten it up, it was a bit messy and notice him wrote something down. Then soon as I came out to a main road there was some kid on a bike, was about to overtaken him and then decided not to (got a minor for that for overtaking), and the sure one i thought i'd failed was when i stalled on pulling out of a T junction, luckily there was no car behind me and i did look around.

Apart from those i drove pretty well, there was a huge section of the test where i notice he didn't write anything down, that felt so good !

so 1 minor for clutch, 1 for reverse park, 2 for moving off (control) and 1 for judgement for overtaking.

Thanks for the support everyone !!!!!!!!

Congrats

When I passed, I stalled on a hill but when he told me I'd passed he explained that I recovered well so it was only a minor
