First one, shitting it.
I know i can do it all, and i must be able to cause only had 10 lessons and my instructor has put in my for my test.
Taking it in my corsa, as instructor has a 206 and its terrible,
Just wandering how many Safety check questions they ask you at the start ? Like about checking the oil and stuff.
Any other tips would be greatful.

good luck
main thing, dont rush anything, especially manouvers... if you are doing one wrong, such as reverse/parrallel parking, just start again! as long as you dont stop & give up or hit the kerb, you will be fine!
also when I did mine (many eons ago) they never gave me a minor or anything for messing it up first try as I just drove back out, lined up again & did it ok!
keep checking mirrors, but not too much!
i had a female tester, so i was flirtin with her durin the test too see if i got extra browny points & guess it worked as I got no minors or anything

I passed mine 3rd time in December. I think the examiner has a lot to do with (obviously) I had two right arseholes on mine first, talking to me really snottily as if they were royalty and failed both times, 1 said i pulled out in front of a car and gave me a dangerous, i must of been asleep when i done that.
Third time i had a female examiner who was really nice and relaxing which made me feel more comfortable. I think she was testing me more on coversation then my drive lol.
At the end of the day dont panic. If you balls up a manouver, like has been previously said, pull forward and do it again, you will get a minor for it, but it's better than carrying on with it knowing you're going to cock it up and getting a major!
Good luck to everyone who has their test soon

No, they take down the number plate of the car, not the make and model. Just looked one of my three test sheets to confirm that
