    So I've just come home from work & I've gotten my test date for the end of next month. I know what I'm supposed to do ie get lessons, practice etc but does anyone have any advice on what to do? Obviously brush up on road signs, rules of the road etc but is there anything else boardsies can recommend especially those of you who have recently passed.

    Do a search, loads of info here already. This particular thread is good. Main advice is practise loads. I didn't bother with a pre-test lesson myself but lots of people seem to.

    What's the most worrying part of the test for you? Go out and practice that manoeuvre, area of road, roundabout, whatever it is become more confident at it and the test will seem easy.

    Nerves were a big thing for me so I couldn't recommend a pre-test more. Really helped to settled me just before the test. I just replicated everything I done in the pre-test. Granted I still failed haha, but I wasn't as nervous. The second time around felt like a spin with a friend I was so calm.

    Getting an instructor who is familiar with the test area and its routes is also a massive advantage.

    Revising the road signs is a must but I wouldnt spend to much time. Road time is way more important and if you can get some time practising the routes or even just familiarising yourself with your test area, it can pay off massivly! Id really recommend getting out at the time your test is due to commence, can really help to know what traffic will be like ahead of the test.

    Best of luck!

    Go drive every day, I went every single day without fail right up to the test. Driving in circles in car parks getting slow speed control. (not looking at the ground when turning!!!! looking at my surroundings (oncoming traffic) and driving driving driving)


    So in short arse on the seat. If youve passed the car test for road signs its much the same a quick brush up will do. if you have not then get a book and go through them again.
