Feeling Nervous About Your Driving Test? Follow These Tips on Staying Calm

You need to be in the right mindset if you want to pass your driver's exam. Although it's normal to feel nervous, you shouldn't let your nerves get the best of you. If you can stay calm and drive confidently, you will be able to pass. How can you stay calm, though?Here are some tips on keeping your nerves in check:

• Try to think positive. Maintaining a positive attitude will provide you with more confidence in your abilities. Instead of thinking "what if I do something wrong? I bet I'll do something incorrectly", think "What can I do to improve my driving? Are there any mistakes I can avoid making?"

• Take practice tests before the big day. Even if you've already passed the written exam, you can still take more practice tests. The more knowledge you have about driving, the more confidence you will feel. Whenever you miss any questions, find out what the real answers are. Make improvements whenever and wherever you can.

• Keep reminding yourself that "it's just a test". Really, it is. Even if you fail, you'll get a chance to try again. Just keep learning from your mistakes and you will eventually pass. Everything will be okay.

• Learn how to visualize yourself passing. Close your eyes and imagine yourself making all of the correct moves on the test route. Imagine how happy you will feel when you pass. Visualize the examiner informing you that you pass, and you standing in line to get your picture taken.

• The fewer people who know you are going to take the test, the less pressure you will feel to pass. Even though you might be tempted to tell all of your friends and relatives when you are going to take it, it's for the best that you don't. If they don't all know, you won't have to try and impress them all.

• Just make sure you get enough practice. If you practice driving every single day, you will feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Practice driving on different types of roads and terrains. When you take the test, drive the exact same way you drove during practice.

• Get plenty of sleep the night before. Eat before you take the test - even if you're not hungry. You will be able to drive better if you have food in you. Right before the test, inhale through your nose and count to three, hold the breath for a few seconds, and then release. Do this over and over again until you feel calm.

If you do all of these, you will feel less nervous during your driving test. You should be able to drive comfortably and confidently enough to pass.
