I have a few tips for you.
1. Remember to go over where everything on the instrument panel is, like the lights and hazard signal etc. They always ask you to turn these things on to make sure everything is working and you know where they are.
2. When you start always keep the radio off and remember your seatbelt, both hands on wheel at all times, unless you are driving a stick shift.
3. Watch your speed. Be aware of the speed in the area you are travelling. I failed my test the first time because I was going down a hill and I went 5 miles over the speed limit (my foot wasn't even on the gas).
4. Know how to parallel park.
5. Always come to a complete stop at all lights and stop signs. Rolling stops are bad.
6. Always check your blindspots and turn right around and look out your back windows when parking. They will dock you points if you only check your mirrors.
Stay calm, relax, try and get a good night's sleep, review your instruction manual, have a good breakfast and you'll do great! Good luck!

Maybe you should put off taking your test for a few weeks until you can pratice some more. Have you considered taking a few lessons from a license instructor at a reputable driving school? With more practice, you'll feel more confident. Thoroughly read your manual more than once. Take your test in the car that you use for practice. That way, you'll be familiar with the car. While practicing, have an experience drive in the car with you who'll act as the trooper who'll administer the test. Have them tell you what they want you to do and to score you just as the trooper will. They'll not tell you how to do it because for right then they'll be administring your test. Get a good night's sleep the night before your test. On the morning of the test eat a good breakfast and don't forget to pray for God's help and protection. Driving is a privledge, so see it as a gift you're earning for yourself. There's one good thing about a driving test; if you don't pass, there's always next time.

I've not taken one in a long time but have taught the neighbor how to drive. On Friday have a good breakfast and just do what the person giving the test says. Remember on a lane change to turn your body. Don't forget your seat belt. Turn off the radio. Just sit there in the seat and do your thing. Good luck

Get someone to take you to a vacant parking lot and practice.
I put boxes in the yard a little further apart than a car and practiced
parrell parking. Study the manuel and follow the the insturctors words

I can't remember how long the test takes, but if its half an hour, you have to say to yourself, "I've only got to drive perfectly for 30 minutes". You then concentrate for 30 minutes, and I mean concentrate. Its not a lot of minutes. You can do it. Good luck.

ALWAY'S drive in accordance with the highway code-(read it, read it, then read it some more-and DON'T throw it out of the window when you have passed your test.....as sooooo many people do...you can tell by the standard of driving nowaday's that the book is thrown out of the window:-/)-and ALWAY'S abide by what a GOOD instructor teaches you, and you should be fine. Best of...

Eat a good meal beforehand. Relax, Taking deep breaths may help. Parking lot practice is good. Smile and act confident it gows a long way.

DO NOT acceralate in the turning lane. Pull into lane, wait for traffic to clear before merging.
