TEST NERVES?

First things first - nerves are normal but do not help you drive better!

Nerves reflect in the drive; rushing at junctions, hurrying to pull over, making rash observations, etc

Here are some tips;

• PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE - identify where you are not confident and get more practice!

• TIME - the longer you learn, the more confident you will feel.

• FOCUS- give every lesson, private time in the car and the Test Day your full attention

• THINK POSITIVE - a positive mental energy will reflect in the drive (a ‘calm confidence’)

• PEER PRESSURE - avoid pressure from friends, family & work to achieve a pass

• PRIVATE PRACTICE - if you do not feel ready and are unable/not willing to take further lessons then increase your private practice time in your own car

• REFLECT & GET BACK ON THE ROAD - should you fail, do not give up/stop lessons until your next test, get back on the road and continue to get extra practice and work on your errors
