Driving tests, like all other tests, require the right mindset. To help you achieve that, here is an article I wrote.

How to Get the Right Mindset for Passing Your Driving Test

If you are planning to take your driving test soon, you are probably feeling nervous and stressful. You might even be sick to your stomach. Letting your worries get the best of you will NOT help you pass at all. In fact, focusing on your worries will increase your chances of FAILING.

What you need to do is develop a positive mindset. People who think positive and have confidence in themselves will pass with flying colors.

Here are some tips for developing the right mindset:

• Try mental strategy techniques. Visualize yourself as a driver. Just close your eyes and imagine yourself driving with confidence during the test. Imagine how happy you will be when you are told that you've passed. Do this mental strategy at least three or four times a day.

Imagine yourself being a good driver - do NOT visualize yourself making any mistakes.

• Whenever you start to feel nervous, try breathing exercises. Just concentrate on nothing but your breathing for a few minutes. Sit up straight while you're doing this. Focused breathing is a highly-effective method of dealing with anxiety.

• Keep repeating a positive mantra over and over again. "I can drive. I will do great on my test. I will pass the test effortlessly." Even if you don't believe these statements at first, keep repeating them anyway. In time, you will.

• Don't think of the examiner as a scary person. They were just as nervous as you once. They had to take their test once too. Despite what you might think, they actually WANT you to pass. They don't want to be mean. They just take their job seriously since it requires putting safe drivers on the road. Don't mistake their seriousness for meanness. Try thinking of the examiner in a more positive light, and you will have a better frame of mind during the test.

• Many people underestimate self-hypnosis. It can actually be effective. Every day, for about 15 - 20 minutes, relax in a chair and listen to a self-hypnosis CD or MP3 for success. It might take a few days for the information to start getting in your brain, but it will. You can also listen to a self-hypnosis CD for motivation so that you will feel motivated to practice more.

• One of the best things you can do is not fear your weaknesses. So you're not good at parallel parking. Instead of worrying about it, keep practicing it until you get better! Don't worry about your weaknesses. View them simply as something that you need to work. Believe that you will be able to improve, and you will improve.
