So tommorow morning at 830 am im taking my 1st driving test. Now i drove out to where the test was and practiced parallel parking there and i have been practicing at a nearby driving school. Im really nervous because i live in PA and if you mess up the parallel parking they fail you automatically. Everyone has told me i will do fine and just to calm down. Because i know how to do everything and my drivers ed instructor let me leave the range early because i had finished everything and he passed me. Im just really stressed because if you fail where i am you have to wait forever because the next available one is like 1 month away. I just really need to calm down and i dont know how to im so nervous! Please Help!

Just take it a step at a time. Pretend your instructor is there instead of the officer. I remember when I was many years younger, I was scared too. I did finally get the courage to go to take it. If you do not feel comfortable tomorrow reschedule it and do some more practicing. Do it at your own pace.
Good Luck

Take the pressure off yourself by thinking it's not the end of the world if I fail it's only a month to the next one!! - you'll end up doing better if you aren't putting yourself under so much pressure.
Think yourself lucky - in Ireland there's a big backlog and you have about a 7 month wait for your driving test, if you fail it's another 7 month wait!!!

Just drive. If you are a good driver, you will pass. If not, expect to wait a month. Failing is not a bad thing. You will only learn that much more.
You'll live.

I can remember the feeling. The excitement of getting your license.
Since you know that you are driving good, why worry? Have confidence in yourself. If you believe that you can do it, then you can do it. The inspector doesn't want to flunk you, he/she wants you to pass. Just don't give them a reason to flunk you.
Take your time, don't speed, that will flunk you also. The only big thing on the test is parallel parking, and you know how to do that. good luck.

I was a nervous wreck, but I passed 16 years ago first time. It's not much of an answer, but do exactly as the examiner tells you and Good luck.

oh,i know how you feel,my friend...just remember there are no perfect people out there,and the instructor has been in your place one time too.... and remember,even if you fail,you will take it again,and pas it then... it's not life and death,but it seems like it.....don't think about him,and just think about you and how you are doing....and remember,hey all have to learn,and the only way to do anything is to do it..... ..and do it.and the more you do it,the better you get.... so practice,and get some self confidence.. and you're gonna be just fine...... get good,my friend,by practicing..........and you won't be intimidated by him or her at all.....

I burst a tyre the night before my second test, which I passed. My best tip for passing would be to tie your hair back into a ponytail(if it will) and swish it dramatically every time you look in your mirrors or move your head, as driving examiners don't believe in peripheral vision. And don't be afraid to ask him/her to repeat themself if you're not sure what they asked you to do.

Shot of vodka and a spliff... just kidding.
Get a good nights sleep, eat a good breakfast and do some deep breathing. Think positive.
Take no notice of me, I failed three times before I passed.

just calm down.... act like you know whats up.. no gum chewing.... fasten the seat belt.... look in the mirrors and adjust them.... talk to the test person letting him or her know what your next move will be... no music on the radio !!! no rabbit accelerations.... take your time on the parallel parking... you have learned it so.... best of luck to you ....
