The big main tip is CONTROL YOUR NERVES you can be an amazing driver and know everything perfectly and do it well however test day is a stress Inducer and you can do silly things when under so much stress and pressure!

[VASILLEVSKI]

I passed my test a year ago and only bought my first car a week ago after working hard for the last 4 months. The best advice I could give to someone is to relax because the test was honestly 100 times easier than ANY of my driving lessons in terms of pressure. It was so easy that my confidence immediately came back after leaving the test centre and I was doing everything the driving examiner asked for. In the end, the biggest challenge is yourself - anxiety and nerves. Everything will come naturally to you in the ~45 minutes you will have to be examined.

I passes my test 2 days ago in first attempt and I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you Richard as watching your videos helped fortify learnings from my lessons. 😊 Guys, I would definitely recommend watching how to calm your nerves during test on this channel that will definitely help you.

My tip would be to just think of the examiner as your instructor and drive safely but don’t do anything different to try and impress the examiner. Honestly, 40mins fly by so stay calm, don’t rush any decisions but do keep up with the speed limit when possible and try and enjoy the drive.

Got my driving test tomorrow, these tips helped me a lot and lowered my nervousness. Thank you !

Mr. Richard! I’ve just passed my exam with a couple of minors. I’ve learn everything and all only from your channel! You’re the best instructor people could ever imagine to have! Thank you very

[Media.Man]

Best 2 tips that helped pass last year was:

1) deal with the task at hand, one junction at a time

2) you can always try again. Even if I fail, I can just do it again, it's not live or die.

The one tip I can give you is to not stress about your test I passed 16th of November thinking it was gonna be super hard but was the easiest thing ever.
They say the test lasts about 38 mins but felt like 5 minutes.
Before you know it your back at the test centre

[lewdogzombies]

Passed today with four minors. Honestly, never been so happy in my life. Thanks a lot mate, these videos are a real life saver ❤

[TeddyTK]

Passed my driving test just over a month ago and I feel more confident that I've ever been behind the wheel. I still find it useful to watch these kinds of videos to help refine my driving as I get more experienced. Keep up the good work!

[susanyeung]

US viewer here. Thanks to your videos, I was able to drive a manual while I was traveling in Europe! Only stalled a couple times but I think I “passed” the test for manual! Looking forward to driving a manual again!

[aswathjayan]

Hi, I passed my exam yesterday first time. I was really scared and your videos actually helped a lot 🙏 appreciate the videos that you’re doing and I wish all the best to people who has exams coming up. Don’t worry, you’ll pass! 💪

[PhysicalPhilosopher]

im an experienced driver from the US who had to move to England and redo all my driving. since i had been driving for over 10 years, it was absolutely frustrating. your videos helped me focus on the differences in driving that i was missing. and your calm demeanor really helped me relax and know that im a good driver. i passed today, and i couldnt have done it without you

[rebeccawynne]

Had my test today and passed first time! Been watching your videos for a while and watched this one this morning before my test. Your videos have really helped me thank you!

[johnatkinson-brown]

Wonderful advice Richard. Especially your final tip: “don’t take your test if your instructor says you’re not ready!”

[indy]

I stalled 4 times in a row on a very steep junction during my test. I stayed calm, tried to forget about it right away and still passed.

[ZachAscot]

Hi Richard, hope all is well. Just would like to thank you for all the excellent content you provide. You've definitely helped to improve my driving and you're making a difference to many other drivers. You're a great teacher and your videos are very easy to understand and very well explained. You deserve every success and I'm glad that people recognise what great information you put out. That's why you're now a global teacher, not just for the Colchester area! Wishing you all the best, Zach

[atribanerjee]

I watched this on the day of my test and it really helped me. I passed with 1 minor. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work

[keiganemslie]

Iv got my test this November on the 15th, these videos are absolutely fantastic, November is what my instructor advised me to book it on so I’m happy with that, it’s about 5months away but that gives me plenty time to crack on with more lessons and get the most and best information and advice from your videos, win win!😀🤟
