    Just relax, drive around tonight and treat everything like it was your test. For weeks before my test I drove like i was in my test everey time i was in the car.

    Ok with regard to reversing around the corner, it is not a parking test so dont worry about getting close to the kerb. If you are a 3 or 4 feet away from the kerb that is fine just be parallel with the kerb.

    Just be very observant in the test. Observation is the key in my eyes. Check your mirrors as much is needed (i know some people who check the mirrors so much they look at the mirrors more than the road in front of them which aint good)

    If you notice you're car is getting further away from the kerb, by all means correct, stopping 4 foot away from the kerb would not be acceptable, although that's probably an extreme example. Just stay calm, and try and remember what your instructor told you. If you wish you can adjust your left wing mirror so you can see the kerb, just be sure to put it back when you're finished.
