Yes it does work................ I used it for some final exams, but don't over do it as you need to concentrate for your driving test.... or you could have wasted your time with the lessons. Just think to yourself 'if I don't pass I can always take the test again, its not the end of the world'........ good luck and stay calm.

I've never tried the Rescue Remedy yet, but for the last three weeks I have been using a Bach Flower remedy specially made for me and I can only tell you that the benefits have been astounding. I was very open minded anyway before I went to see the Bach Flower person, but I certainly didn't expect to see such rapid results. Based on my experience I would absolutely use the Rescue Remedy if I needed to.
Good luck :)

There have been times in my life where rescue remedy has saved me butt!! I used to by the biggest bottles in my final year at university, I've used it before job interviews and even before walking up the aisle to my wedding. The stuff is like a magic potion!! I've also used the wild rose one to motivate myself when I'm feeling low and can't be bothered. I'd give it a go, the bottle will last months as you only need a few drops at a time and its more than worth it for the calmness it brings. Good luck!!!

I've never tried it personally but when I was in Australia I worked as a personal carer for a lady suffering from MS and she swore by it. I would give her some when her muscles went into really bad spasms and the relaxing effect was immediate and it seemed really effective for a herbal remedy. She also used it to relax her mind so she could sleep more easily. I think it would definitely help you and it's a lot cheaper than paying for another test! Good luck!

It worked for me when I would get anxiety while sitting in the classroom. However it doesn't always work for everyone. I actually found that I like Calm Drops better. Historical Remedies makes them. I took some before I got married and it calmed my nerves.

I am afraid that it did nothing for my friend, but then everyone is different so it would be hard to decide on someone else's judgement. Perhaps you could look for the best relaxation technique on the Internet that you could do tonight at bedtime, and treat yourself to your favourite hot drink. I found it helped me, although it sounds corny.
Another thing that helped me was to look at my examiner closely, and think to yourself, he is my equal. He has got up today,used the bathroom, grunted at his wife and come to work. Then show him what you can do. Another thing is to speak your actions out loud as you are going along-I did this without even realising! It shows your intentions,and might help. In any case I do wish you luck and I will be thinking of you.

It did nothing for me! However, I bought some 'Quiet Life' tablets from the health food shop to take before my exam last week (OU) and I wasn't nervous in the slightest! Not sure if they really did something or if it was psychological - guess it doesn't matter as long as it worked!

I live on this stuff! It really does work. I have used it to pass my driving test and before exams and interviews. You might still feel nervous but it allows you to focus and remember all the stuff you have actually learnt rather than just fumbling it up.

yes I know someone who has a fear of flying and he uses theses drops so he can fly. You could also try Kalms they are very good. Best of luck with your test and remember it's only a test you are able to drive just breathe deeply and focus hard and smile to yourself during the test. Hope you pass!

Hyland's Calms Forte seems to help some people. Chamomile and Catnip are good calmatives as teas.
Good luck!
