PASSING MY DRIVING TEST!

I have FINALLY PASSED my driving test, and can now finally drive my car, by myself, on my own, whenever and wherever i want. 

I understand that driving can be really stressful, especially if you have failed many times, (It took me five times to pass my test). 
I believe the key to me passing my test was taking kalms, thinking i had failed and taking it in an area i was not used to!

I failed in my previous tests due to anxiety and become way to stressed out, which continues to escalate, and the examiners can see it. 
By thinking i had failed i calmed down immediately and actually drove very well, and only got three minors!
I also took my test in a different area, and i only had two weeks to learn these new roads.

So here is what happened on the day of the test.

I drove all the way there, and made a lot of mistakes, i was upset thinking i am going to fail if i cant even drive properly with my instructor..
( I had been taking Kalms the whole day before my test, and the morning of my test) 
When the examiner came out, he was friendly and chatty, which made me feel better instantly, then we began to drive, i went the WRONG way on the roundabout, which is when i thought id failed, but turns out i did it safely and it was fine! 

We then got back to the test center, and the examiner had said i passed. I didn't believe him and still cant believe it!

So for anyone struggling to pass, or thinking they never will, you will! Just keep trying, try some relaxing methods, think that you have failed, stay calm, be confident, and possibly take your test in a different area, this made me concentrate more as i was not used to the roads and the signs.

I am now super relieved to have so much freedom now. Its the best thing i have ever done.

1) Take Kalms or other calming de-stressing methods. (This worked for me but might not work for you)
2) Try a test in a different area.
3) Do not over think it, if you fail, take it again! Think of it as more experience.

Here is more information on Kalms - http://www.kalmsstress.com/

I hope this has helped.
