relax, breathe deeply, listen to what the examiner asks you, be aware of whats around you, try to remember what your instructor (if they are any good) has taught you, and don't flirt with the examiner....unless you know you're gonna fail.....


you'll be fine

talk to them about something that requires next to no brainpower (local football would be a good one), it kind of show's you are not diverting every single brain cell towards driving at 20mph, and that you are capable of a resonable conversation whilst driving.
It also stops you from getting too worried. and makes them feel happier about been sat in a car with a learner all day every day, could make their day, and could make yours

drum roll...............................................

heres some tips from someone who just failed
1) Observation and lots of it
2) if someone flashes you DONT go
3) Neautarl,handbrake,indicators in that order

Is that a pass or fail?

5 minors is a pass, you are allowed a max 15 minors IIRC.

1 major or serious and its all over though

thanks, minors are stuff like not indacating, not checking a blindspot etc, if you get 4 minors you fail

That should read T if you get 4 minors of the same incident, then you fail
