THEORY & PRACTICAL TESTS > Hints and Tips
for the Test
There's no magic formula for
passing your driving test - but here's some advice that will certainly
be helpful.
Get a good night's
sleep before the test.
Dress comfortably
- make yourself feel good.
Have confidence in
your ability.
Listen carefully to the examiner's instructions, act on them in
good time, and ask for them to be repeated if necessary.
Give the examiner a
beautifully smooooth drive, one that both of you
can enjoy.
If you make a decision that you think could be
misjudged by the examiner, explain your reasons while you drive.
Maintain your best standard to the very end of the
test ......
The examiner just wants to see what you
would normally do - nothing that you do not already know.
If you come across a new situation,
hold back and assess it carefully before you decide to proceed - and be
prepared to change your decision if necessary.
Show the examiner that you deserve to have
those L plates removed.
