Just relax, it's easy.
Keep calm and make sure you make it obvious that your checking your mirrors, i.e turn your head not just your eyes.

Relax, don't rush. Check your mirrors, and think of it as just another lesson. I passed mine on wednesday just gone, just keep calm and you'll be fine

Yeah its kinda scary to start with, but when you have started driving, time just flies, you'll be on the road before you know it

Passed mine a few weeks back, i was pretty nervous, but once i got in the car and started driving, i was fine.
It went really quick too.
Try not to think too much on what your doing, it should all just come naturally.
make it obvious when you check your mirrors, and remember to leave enough room between cars your following.
Pay attention to road signs.
Good luck

When i had my test I made conversation with the examiner just to show that i was comfortable and confident with my driving.
It also took my mind off the fact that i was on my test. Just felt like i was cruising about.
Good luck!

Thats something i've never thought about.
I've never actually heard of anyone dressing smartly for their test, but i guess it makes sense.

don't fail 
and if you do, don't tell your mates/family you've booked another slot at a certain time, takes the pressure off then as no one will know that you've even been for a driving test

Just chill mate, easier said than done ofcourse but seriously, you say you can drive so just..do it..
If you are confident then you will more than likely be fine..
Make convo with whoever takes your test (if they are up for talking ofcourse)..Keep thinking, be alert and all will be good..Immense feeling when you do pass! goodluck

That's nothing, I passed mine then did some finger painting and had half an hour in the sandpit. 
PS Good Luck Hardy...Easy to say but keep calm and just go through everything taught.

I'm guessing that since he was up so early, he should have had his test by now...

Maybe he couldn't get any more kip due to the intense nerves?

Then again, maybe you're right. How'd you do mate?
