This will be my first test. I'm quite confident but am sure that I will forget to do all the manouevers correctly and I need to make sure that my observation is up to scratch. Does anyone know of any ways of remembering everything?

The easiest way to remember stuff is to repeat it. So its like an exam, you have to revise. Keep going over stuff in your head. Go for an imaginary drive. the main things to remember are: mirror, signal, maneuver and whenever you see a road sign it usually has a meaning - you should make it clear you've seen the sign. Say what it is out loud.
You basically have to convince the examiner that you are not going to be a danger on the roads and are competent enough to manage a motor vehicle.
Good luck

I passed my test first time with only two minors, that's pretty good apparently. I didn't expect that. Ill tell you the things I think helped. I was the same with mock tests, I was good at lessons but when my instructor said lets do a mock test I got all panicky and failed. Any way the mock tests should be around actual test routes so (I take it you've booked a two hour lesson before your test? If not do it!!) ask you instructor to take you on a mock test around some of the routes you haven't covered already, this way you'll have better knowlage of road layouts and your test may be on one of the routes you have done. You should be able two fit two in, then have twenty minutes to practice at roundabouts. Now for the actual test I was nervous but my instructor stared a conversation with me, I was in Liverpool and don't have a scouse accent so he asked me where I was from, I explained that my dad is in the army and I've lived all over the world and my mum is from Liverpool, we spent the whole 40 min talking, about fishing, football, allsorts, this put me at ease straight away and I soon forgot I was sitting my driving test, it became just a drive round the block if you like, I don't I would of been so relaxed and of passed otherwise. So my advice, practice immediately before yor test and have conversation with your examiner, rather than have him sitting there saying turn left etc. good luck!! Let us all know how you did lol!!

i just passed my practical yesterday and my observations are rubbish,what i did too make up for this was too take my time,the manouvers are easy you'll have practised them dozens of times just relax about the monouver and go crazy checkin every 10 seconds all around your car especially the side which will pose the most danger i failed my first test for poor observations on a turn in the road,yesterday i had the same monouver and i even hit the kerb (slightly) but my observations were good so he let me get away with it.hope that helps,ps good luck

You can't remember everything -- at least not on a concious level. Instead, focus on 2 or 3 things you tend to have trouble with or forget to do. One of them for most people is remembering to signal (unfortunately everyone forgets this WHEN they have their license as well!). You'll be fine. Good luck.

Yeah- visualise your highway code book in your head and concerntrate on it. Although you gotta keep a clear head while driving, just remember the important ones, or take a little test before you go for the big one..
Good luck I hope you pass

go sit in a quiet room, close your eyes and visualize yourself doing everything correctly. also, get someone who has recently passed their licence to test you. its a piece of cake if you dont lose concentration.

Remain clam and don't think about forgetting anything, just don't think of it as a test, just do what you normally do.

just relax and enjoy it. Don't think of it as your first test, think of it as the only test

Just relax and chill. If you get up-tight, you'll get really nervous and mess it up. Just sit back and enjoy yourself.......
