Yeah, relax and enjoy it.

If you don't pass, the world will keep spinning and you'll still be a bit wiser ready to take it again...

Dismiss any negative thoughts before you can finish them. Sounds stupid to some I know but only think of positive things and try to stop your mind wondering about every possible scenario and focus fully on the task in hand.

A way to do this is to do everything slowly ! Seriously it works. Slow down everything you do from putting on your gear to actually riding the bike. It makes you concentrate on the task in hand instead of your mind wondering off in all different unhelpful directions.

And always remind yourself that your accessor actually wants you to pass.

Good luck

Ps get all your st together like paperwork and the kit you need before you go to bed ..

I really enjoyed my mod 2. I learnt over the winter but on my test day, it was lovely - had a great time.

Should be nice tomorrow too (dunno where you are) so enjoy it. Make sure you do your lifesavers though.

Good luck

My self help to passing? Not give a f**k if I pass or not , it relaxed me. All round tip? Relax, and enjoy it, replay the examiners instructions in your head, don't forget the name of the destination he wants you to head towards. All I could remember it started with R and the first roundabout board had only one place beginning with R.

If you think you've made an arse of something, tell yourself out loud to forget about it and carry on. Both me and my friend both did things we thought meant a fail - examiner put one as a minor (went to go at roundabout but stopped again just before the line as someone came flying round) and the other was taking forever at a crappy junction and 'peeping and creeping'. Examiner said handled it fine. Yet I kept thinking I'd failed. Good luck!
