Wednesday I have my exam for my drivers license...and it's fucking annoying, because I can only think about that day...how I will fail or how I will pass, so much scenario's are going trough my head!!! I had to do my theory test 4 times (yeah, that's bad I know), but I did my special maneuvers, like parking and shit, in a single try...but now, I'm so close, so close!! What will happen Wednesday, guess I know soon...
You guys probably can laugh about this, because you all have your drivers license

Don't be nervous.
Just stay calm, you've been driving for a while now so you know how. Just stay calm, take your time to do everything. Stick to the right lane when there's more than one, ignore bumper klevers ( ). Don't start focusing on every little detail, because that's when you start fucking up and you'll never get it all anyway (nor do they expect you to) 
Overuse your mirrors, that goes down well with most CBR people - 5 seconds front, 1 second rear, 1 second left and check the right one from time to time. Don't just look at them though, actually turn your head a bit so they notice 
Obviously, with the above I kind of assume you feel comfortable in a car to begin with. I felt "at home" right when I first got into a car and getting my license was fun to me, because I got to do something I enjoyed anyway. It's also something that goes a long way with the CBR folk, because if you feel comfortable it means you can spend your time actually driving safely rather than being nervous about what the fuck you're doing

Not Possible in NYC. There is no parking places like they are in Poland near apartment blocks.
You park on the street and pray some idiot will not hit your mirror. And people park on both sides, SUV and regular car will not fit together, someone has to let through first...and that happens on every street |

I passed on my second try, but only because of the stupidity of the examiner.
I was the last car to go through the intersection, I was driving at exactly the speed limit, on the right lane when a couple of seconds after I passed through the intersection a police car rockets past me, on the left lane. I was, WTF, where did you come from? There wasn't anyone behind me.
I did everything correct after that, parked like a boss. And then the examiner says I failed because I failed to slow down and move my car to the right so the police car could pass.
And, technicaly, he's right, that's the right procedure, but when the fuck was I supposed to have moved, or even had time to slow down? Not to mention that the police car had an entire lane to himself. The fucker just chuckled and said that rules are rules, and better luck next time...

Good luck Aeon!!
*/me quotes Paul's post for awesomeness*
I was very lucky back then since I got mine at first try with 0 errors both in the theory test and practice, definitely unexpected..but I -surprisingly- nailed all the impossible parallel parkings
Paradoxically now I'm worse than in 2003 xD

Hmmmm... I thought most people usually ace their driving tests at the first try.
2nd try for me too, parking wasn't a problem at wall, driving regular traffic was the hardest part for me.
Now it's the other way around, can't parallel park for shiet

Best of luck with you driving test, while It's not the end of the world if you fail as you can always try again. I passed on the third try with a different examiner to the first couple of times and I can even remeber the date as it was two days before my 18th birthday.

cost me 40 euros or so for that mistake to get a new exam. I was 16 then tho and the license would only let me drive with a grown-up next to me. Passed my real license on the 1st try.
