I did mine for the 3rd time and passed in Feb...Id say you know this stuff but makes sure you know it. I got a list of the most commonly asked questions from my instructor and learnt them off. I advise getting a pre test about 2 hours before your test as it gets you in the test mode. Go out on the route at the time of your test a few days before so you know what traffic and everything is like.

Your ment to check your mirrors every 15-20 seconds but if you over check you can fail too.

Handbreak goes up at traffic lights unless your one of the 1st 3 cars.

When do reverse around the corner check around you 3 times whilst doing it.

always check your mirrors when taking off..


If your a girl wear dangly long earrings as this catches the testers eye so they know when you look in your mirrors.

This is what my teacher told me and I passed only got 1 grade 1...Its all about controlling your nerves.Which is alot easier said than done!!!!

Make sure to give yourseld plenty of time to get there. I arrived 6mins late for my test after getting stuck in really bad traffic and was told to go home that they wouldn't take me out.

Arrive early for your test!!!
I was 1/2 hour early and the tester was well pleased I was his last he could go home early!!!!
You should do a pre-test the day of your test that really calmed me down.
Keatings is a great driving school know alot of people that have used him I found him great!!!
I passed my test first time last month
good luck;)

Passed first time around down in Wicklaw. I was eating those Kalm tablets like smarties, pumped those into me all day. Had no nerves, otherwise don't think I would of passed. My missus taught me to drive, did a couple of test routes down there.
