Take your time and make sure the examiner sees you looking in your mirrors.

Chill out, nerves will destroy any chances of passing.
Best thing you can do, is fuck up early on, consider yourself failed, then quit being so bothered for the rest of the test.
Thats what I did, and passed

Just think a bit more positive, don't put yourself down before you have started.
Be quietly confident, but not too cocky.

The way I looked at it was that I couldnt wait to drive on my own after the test, and was worried about getting insurance sorted. I was nervous during, but I knew I could drive if I really wanted to. Just think of the amount of stupid plebs on the road.

alwayys shake the driving testers hand and introduce yourself goes down well also just be steady take your time as the longer you draw things out the test can only take a max off 45 mins i think it is thats what i did

If you think you've failed half way through don't give up and think its all over cause it not the case. i did many silly things on my test which i thought i was gonna fail on (like not putting my lights on when the heavy rain made it dull!) but i carried on as normal and i passed with only 5 minors. just take your time and relax. its not over till its over. best of luck mate

Well, all i can say is just look in mirrors allll the time, everytime you enter a new road, check them, or you will get a minor.
Also, check youre rear view mirror when breaking!!
Be confident aswell, they will notice that.
I got through mine with just 1 minor, and that was just for not looking in mirror once i had turned into a new road aparently

tbh the theory is harder than the practical... i passed even though there was a powercut i congleton causing all the lights to fail on a t junction, my reverse left i messed up so had to pull forward again, but i was fine in the end, passed with 4 minors, just remember your mirrors and signaling and youll be fine

took me 3 times to pass...
first instructor was an absolute cunt and my instructor told me afterwards that barely anyone passes with him 
onmy second test it just went wrong from the start, and i knew i had failed from 10 mins into it!
3rd time i had the same instructor as i did on the second and i thought yep hes gona think im proper shit again from last time... stayed calm tho and everything went really well! when i finished the drive i only had 4 minors or something.
No point shittin it coz at the end of the day if you don't pass you can keep takin it until you do so just keep calm and don't start thinkin ur a shit driver because this is ur 3rd test

Chin up lads, you'll get there in the end, just take your time and keep having lessons in the mean time
I passed on my 4th attempt if that makes you feel any better

Thats what i did, clipped a kurb and thought i was going to fail, so thought fuck it, and drove without trying to be perfect and passed, got a minor for steering though
Get the test booked again, and think more positively
