did you pass or fail? and what can i do to keep calm? I've had alot of lessons and i phoned my driving instructor yesterday and she has the flu so i had to find another driving school that would let me have a few lessons and that i could use their car for the test and it is a completly different car so i am stressed and think i'm going to fail... so bad luck has already struck!!!!! Who has passed or failed on that day and what can i do to keep calm??? Please help! Many thanks.

Its all supistition. DONT WORRY. My work colleage has a daughter, she passed her FIRST TIME, but she had 2 bad things that happened to her JUST before her test. And she thought that, well you know the saying "bad luck comes in 3s", would apply to her, but it didnt did it cause she passed!!
Goodluck and get a goodnights sleep, and in the morning eat a real GOOD breakfast and have (if you like it) REAL orange juice with you and drink it just before you start your test, oranage juice (pure 100% real orange) is the fatest form of energy and concentration the body can possibly get. It will improve your stress as you wil feel like you have got it under control cause your concentrating, and if your concentrating, chances are, you will be doing good, which will make you feel good, so you will do good.
HAVE A BIT OF FAITH IN YOURSELF. Please let me know if you passed. xxxxxxx i too am learnignhow to drive, i have only had 3 lessons so far though! x

Everytime you notice that you feel stressed, take a deep, slow breath. This literally will help you calm your nervous system, almost like turning down the dimmer switch.
Picture yourself doing well as you take the driving test. Many time is good. Deep breath while imagining this. Remind yourself that you don't have to do perfectly, just get it mostly right. Remind yourself to that having some "nerves" before this sort of thing is completely normal, and it you deep breath to keep from getting to worked up the "nerves" can help you do be more alert and to do better. One of the other answers is right too.
Remind yourself that thinking that Fri the 13th is going to make you do worse will come true if you keep thinking that. That's called self-fulfilling prophesy, saying to yourself "I know I'm going to do badly" will actually make perform less well.
Finally remind yourself that this isn't "Do or Die". If you happened not to pass, you learn from the process and go back ready to do better. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself.
Enjoy that permit or licence, whatever you're shooting for. Using these ideas I'd be surprised if you weren't able to pull it off.
Happy Motoring

Friday the 13th is not a bad day. My parents were married on Friday the 13th almost 45 years ago. I was born on Friday the 13th. Stay calm, it sounds like you are prepared. Take some deep breaths and just take one part of the test at a time. You will do fine!

"You Make Your Own Luck."
Eat a bowl of cereal with 13 bannana slices. Stir your coffee 13 times. Brush your teeth 13 times on each side. Comb your hair with 13 passes.
And then go out there and take the test and pass it.
In Latin America 13 is a lucky number! 11 is bad, though, so there are many apartment buildings without an 11th floor.
Have a great test. The examiner wants you to pass. . . they are there to make sure you know what you are doing. Driving is a big reponsibility, so if you are ready for it, SHOW HIM!

You should have waited untill your normal instructor was better,as using a different car might make you more edgy.I didn't have my test on the 13th but i suffer with anxeity and i was so nervous before my test.If i can do it anyone can! just keep breathing and listen carefully to your instructor.Luckily i got some easy manourvers to do and my test route i was really familiar with and i passed 1st time!! best thing i've ever done.Good luck.

Relax you will be fine. The Friday the 13th thing is just a myth. You wont have any worse luck on that day than you would any other day. Just relax, take a deep breath and pass that test! Good luck!

Just don't be superstitious.On Friday the 13th there was a historical event that took place and it was destructive for the U.S.A. (forgive me, I don't know the details, as I not a US citizen). This is why this day was therefore marked as a day of Bud Luck.
My country also has Tuesday the 13th as a Bad Luck Day,because we lost our most glorious city that day.
So don't be afraid!All you have to do is show what a good driver you are!!

calm down, the driving test is the most patheticly easy test ever. i just got my pilots license and you wouldnt believe how much more you need to know for that. just stop at all the stop signs to a full stop, go the speed limit, and know how to do the menueverability. if you fail, you can take it again, and if you do fail maybe you shouldnt be driving but seriously dont worry about it

keep crossing yourself during the driving test, and wave good luck items in the face of the driving evaluator to show him you are serious about avoiding any fri the 13th curses floating around out there.
FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! the only thing about fri the 13th is that it follows Thursday the 12th and preceeds Saturday the 14th.
Get real, if you can't drive, you'll fail. if you can drive, you'll pass. stop blaming it on some mumbo jumbo BS!!
