This is why its important to do a mock test before your actual tests!

Today's mock test is with Violet, who has done around 23 hours of driving lessons and also has had some practice driving with family.
She drives very well but as soon as we started the mock test, the nerves are kicking in. Violets overthinking everything and that leads to her making silly mistakes!

Time line:
0:00 Sart
1:38 Tell me question
2:39 Starts driving
4:30 clearance
4:35 control steering
6:18 DANGEROUS junction observation
7:45 SERIOUS Clearance
8:26 Use mirror before slowing down
9:11 Use mirrors when changing position
9:55 TIP: on crossing a busy road
12:22 DANGEROUS clearance (Parking)
13:55 SERIOUS reversing observation
16:02 SERIOUS Awareness and planning
18:15 TIP: What to do if you go the wrong way

Agree, mock tests are soo important!! I did 3 with my instructor and I improved with each one. It really makes you realise the areas you're weakest on when the instructor isn't prompting you. And gets those silly nervous mistakes out of your system! Passed my test first time with 5 minors which I honestly don't think I would have without doing the mock tests.

I watch all your videos just to see your patience and calmness ...it is very refreshing to see someone so calm ...a big fan !

[isobelvince]

Thank You so much for all the effort put into your videos. Whilst taking lessons and using these videos, I passed first time today with 1 minor fault. Good luck to everyone taking a test soon!

[serenababe]

I love your calmness and your fantastic driver instructor techniques. You’re great!

I know this might sound weird, but driving in the dark, icy winter made me better at driving. I'm a lot like Violet and worry so much about what I'm supposed to do or if I was too slow and what drivers behind me will think about me being slow. But as it's winter and it's pitch black making spotting pedestrians almost a game of death, the road is very slippery and the white snow makes looking out for signs almost impossible, not to mention days where it's raining cats and dogs on top of all if this. Another thing is timing the high beams while thinking about what I mentioned before. This forced me to take time and forget about what drivers behind would think about my driving, made me improve at spotting hazards and adjusting speed and steering. I have the test in 4 days and this video reminded me of all these things which made me more nervous, but at the same time thankful so I can be mindful while preparing.

I just wanted to say thank you!! I passed my test today. It was the second time for me and I got six minors but I’m happy because I was really nervous doing it. I have watching your videos constantly for ages and they have been a huge help! ❤🎉

I would honestly say it depends on the individual. I struggled with anxiety personally as well as driving anxiety for months and months, so my instructor did not think it would be helpful to give me mock tests. He only gave them to students who believed themselves to be at a higher level than they were. I ca honestly say him doing this was so beneficial to me— I passed first time and I really do think taking mock tests would have done the opposite of reassuring me. Just a thought though, and I am aware for most people it would be helpful!

Oh bless her! She seemed so nervous and flustered.
I remember back when I did my test (over a decade ago - back in the three point turn and reverse around a corner days! 🙈), when my instructor used to tell me to pull up on the left I used to panic and think I had to do it there and then which I think is what Violet was doing! 🙈
Mock tests are so, so important! They get you used to driving independently and getting used to having to deal with things on your own as your instructor isn't always going to be there to lend a hand. I really hated mock tests but when it came to my test I was so glad my instructor made me do so many of them!
Another fantastic video Aman. 🥰 X

Driving with parents is just terrible. They think they know it all, when in reality they learned to drive sometimes decades beforehand to a different standard and have hypocritical bad habits that you would never get away with now. But of course they know best, you end up taking those bad habits into your real lesson and your instructor be like wtf don't do that. Happened to me more than once.

Even years later, long after you've passed your test, giving them a lift anywhere and they treat it like your first lesson. So I just don't bother anymore - their cars are nicer than mine and buses are available.

The smoothest transition for a new driver is 1st year only driving an automatic and then moving to a full manual. This way in the beginning the cognitive load is only focusing on traffic and the surroundings, and then when that becomes second nature you transition to learning clutch and you can have all the focus on that while driving

[humzahrahman]

She did okay. She was really nervous I could tell by her face. If she relaxes She will be fine and will be able to avoid those mistakes.

[Mcbeaute]

Passed today on my 3rd attempt! Just wanted to say these videos are very helpful thank you!

[laurenamber]

I just 3 minors, thank you so much for your videos they helped me so much especially with handling nerves!!

[heroworld]

Passed my first attempt driving test today . Thanks to all your videos that helped me learn to be good and safe driver.

[deef]

Ive watched so many of these videos, they are a great help to me as a mum, since I am teaching both my kids, they have a great instructor and he works with me to make sure I am working on areas that need improvement. I've actually really enjoyed it! My daughter is ready for her test now and my son is just starting with me. What a rewarding job this is, I might consider a change of career 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[robertgrant]

Violet will smash her test, the serious and dangerous faults are easily avoidable once you calm yourself, I remember doing my test 3 weeks ago and getting silly minors, love the videos they helped a lot with passing <3

[isaackent]

I see that guy has just posted a response on TikTok to that incident with you, I didn't watch it, but I did see your vid, there really is no excuse for what he did, chin up soldier, I believe in you🙏

[rvenkataraman]

Violet Hitting kerb at 4:42 is serious driving fault and not minor. I failed at my first attempt for the same, my car wheel just touched the kerb at slower speed when stopping and did not even get over the kerb ( even when there is no one / car around)

[icearma]

Bless her, best to get all the serious faults out in the mock test, I didn't pass one mock test but passed my test. Good luck to her.

[beccadillonx]

ive got my first mock test next Monday and I feel that it will mirror this one! Definitely viewing it as an imporant learning experience though to get used to driving with no one to support your decision making (I have a habit of verbalising my decisions so that my instructor can confirm if its the right one or not mostly at roundabouts lol), thank you both for this video!!
