Below are some tips to help prepare you for your Driving Test.

We all know that on the day of any test our nerves can get the better of us and that can
make a massive difference to how well we perform in tests. We have put together some useful tips on

how you can be as prepared as possible for the big day.

1. Don’t rush it Get as much practice as you can and only apply for your test when you feel

confident that you are safe. If you’re worried about the theory test, ask friends and family to

test you to familiarise yourself with the questions.

2. Book the first available driving test of the day. If you take your test early in the morning

you will have less time to worry about it.

3. Don’t tell your friends the test date. If everyone knows you are going for the test, you

create the additional stress of trying to live up to your friends expectations. It’s OK to let your

Mum and Dad know, we are sure they will give you all the support you need.

4. Don’t listen to ‘horror stories’. There are many stories about failed tests. Some may

even be true. Just concentrate on your performance.

5. Get the timing right. Take the test at the right time. Try to book the test so it does not

coincide with other stressful events (just prior to school exams or in the middle of wedding

preparations etc).

6. In your last two lessons. Ask your instructor to concentrate on the manoeuvres you find

most difficult.

7. Do a practice run. We use the term ‘Mock Test’. Your instructor will be very realistic and

the you must take it reasonably serious.

8.Practice in your head It’s been proven that you can improve your ability to perform

coordinated tasks by imagining doing them.

9. Examiners are only human. Your test is one of possibly eight on the examiners sheet

that day. Don’t try to please him/her.

10.You do not need to be perfect. Concentrate on the essentials. If you make a mistake,

keep calm and concentrate on your driving. The mistake may not result in failure and you

are allowed upto 15 minor faults.

11. Don’t worry about silence in the car. It can be daunting sitting beside a stranger, who

seems to just grunt: ‘turn right, turn left’. Avoid thinking the examiner doesn’t like you. If there

is a little chit-chat, be happy, but don’t expect it.

12. You will pass. Both your instructor and yourself must be convinced that the result will be

a pass. An attitude ‘lets have a go at it’ may produce a pass, but is exhausting on the nerves.

13. Get a good night’s sleep before the test.
