the nerves at my driving test

Chicke

did my driving test and got two grade twos and one grade three. I know i falied but i am shocked at how ok i did given how nervous i was.i thought i would have twos all over the place. i know i have to work on the grade three but at least that is a specific thing that can be fixed and not everything if you know what i mean
i really didnt expect to be that nervous , but my mouth was dry , kinda blanked a bit etc etc.
did not expect to be that nervous or that i would do ok given i have driven the worst i have driven ever
do they make allowances for nerves or am i better than i thought
any tips on calming the ol nerves the second time around
is the second time sitting the driving test any easier

Can only say for meself that the nerves got worse pre test the more times I sat the test.First time I wasnt nervous at all,thought I was an amazing driver.had grade 2 faults all over the shop.

quite a few times me foot was shaking on the clutch,But once you get driving they go away.

Most people I would have talked to would say they are less nervous the second time. Their rational would be that they know what to expect. You got close. Apply again, without delay, as in now while you are at this computer.

No they 100% don't make allowances for nerves
Well done this means if you're a little bit less nervous next time you'll definitely pass!!!

Yes the testers will make a certain allowance for nerves, they are human after all but, they will expect you to settle into the test pretty quickly.
Nerves are a good thing as long as you don't let them control you, you need to control them! If you let them take hold you probably won't do well.

A bit of nerves keep you focussed and on the ball. Preparation is the key to passing. If you are prepared you'll go into the test with more confidence. If you are struggling to control your nerves start taking Rescue Remedy or Kalms the evening before your test, they might just take the edge off it
