    Good luck in any case.
    At least reading the rules of the road will aid you in getting to sleep :D.

    Relax, stay focused, and never throw in the towel, even if you think you've messed it up.

    Other than that, best of luck!

    Open the car door for the tester when he\she is getting in, check your mirrors every 20 seconds or so during the test (for observation) and watch your speed - best of luck!

    Its a good few years since I did mine, but the one thing that stood out was the fact that the tester was writing constantly which was very unnerving.

    I thought I'd failed after 2 minutes, but it turned out they write everything down - good or bad. Relaxed me no end after a while cos I thought I had failed and I said I might as well enjoy the rest of it. Luckily enough for me I passed.

    As such, go in there with the attitude that the tester assumes you can drive and its only you that can prove to him that you can't. Innocent until proven guilty kind of thing.

    Other than that I wish you good luck and hope you pass.

    One thing,make sure the tester actually sees you checking the mirrors,,by moving your head a little bit more than normal,,once failed it because I had an action-man eyes thing going on..:pac:

    I assume you have L plates displayed? Tax, insurance, NCT and license all in order?

    Try not to think about it to much when your driving tomorrow.

    When the tester is asking you to drive here, turn here, etc. Just imagine its one of your mates giving you directions, ie, drive as you do usally, just making sure you follow the rules of the road.

    Also make sure you have all your fluids topped up, all the lights are working, the the car is clean and tidy.
