a good luck from bungle, you will pass first time.
trust me your nerves will disappear when you with the instructor, its not for long and just do everything you have learnt. Remember to over exagerate your mirror viewing, always chekc your mirrors and indicate whenever possible, especially at roundabouts - unlike most UK drivers!
Good luck and let us all know how you get on!

I recently passed my HGV Class 1 test and the last bit of advice my instructor gave me was brilliant. When the examiner asks you to do something,he or she is simply asking you to demonstrate what they've asked. If they say,"At the roundabout take the second exit",you simply have to show him how to take the second exit from the roundabout. It sounds silly but don't try and anticipate what they're going to ask you next and try not to think about what you've already done. Just concentrate on each request you get and then carry it out as best you can.
If you find that that the examiner asks you to do a particular thing more than once or twice it may be that your previous attempts weren't good enough and that he's giving you a chance to do it properly. This shows that in some cases the examiner is in fact human and may even have a heart!
Good luck to you.

Go for a lesson/drive before your test so you are comforatble with your car. have a go at all the manouevers you will have to do. In your test remember to check your mirror all the time & make it obvious that you are doing so so move your head a bit, not just your eyes. Don't panic. I stalled in my emergency stop but because I didn't panic & just got on with it I passed.
Expect to be nervous - everyone is. Just try & stay calm, don't rush things or get flustered & you'll be fine. Don't say things like "I'm sure I'll mess this up" - be confident.
GOOD LUCK

I went out a couple of hours before my test just to get in to the driving frame of mind. The examiners no your going to be nervous. Just go with the flow. Nerves are good means your human. Just go for it. The worst that can happen is you fail. Just do your best and dont put too much pressure on yourself because you will then make a mistake. CHILL!!!

Don't worry if you make a couple of mistakes, the examiner is looking for someone who is safe, not an experienced driving expert.
Good luck.

Practice before hand!
It's really not that hard, but you get nervous, because driving is like the pinnicle of your teenage life.
Don't worry, if you fail, you have another shot. My friends going on her 4th test, and her life hasn't ended.
Good luck :)

Go for it - relax and be positive. If it's any consolation I have reversed parked correctly once in my life, and that was on my test!
Good Luck

Do not panic and don't be over confident. Remember the good things which happened when you are driving, stay within the limits and enjoy the experience.
