    pass!

    seriously though, treat it as if it were just another lesson, dont think about the fact that it is your test to hard, otherwise you will be so nervous.

    Same as what they said, relax, take your time, don't panick, smile and keep looking in those mirrors all the time! I only just passed my test with 13 minors! First time though!

    Another tip, try and get on the examiners side. If they start talking to you about something random that doesn't interest you, sound interested and continue the conversation. For example, mine started talking about rowing and I pretended it was a hobbie of mine. Majoring blagging. Helps you relax, as well as take his mind off a few mistakes you might make. You can imagine him starting a conversation and you saying "oh I don't like that, I'm into Dj-in and raving" He won't carry a conversation about it and you will sit in silence in your test. Which is no good!

    remember that when you get back into the test centre car park, your every move is still being monitored. i got marked down for clipping the white line in the test centre car park, as everyone assumes that the test is over as soon as you get into the car park

    Best of Luck. I passed with 3 minors first time, he nearly failed me for speeding but i realised quickly and slowed down. I had a 2 hour lesson before my test and that helped no end so i just carried on driving and chatting away. As long as you remain calm you will be ok.

    If you know you have made a mistake, foget about it, its happened and cant be changed its only 1 minor!!

    Agree with what Reggie said, be nice and friendly.

    In my test we was so busy chatting away, got a minor on a roundabout

    You will be v.nervous once you get there, inside the centre, but once your driving, you should relax

    Good luck mate
