Took me two attempts to pass mine so it can definately be a ######, thought my fail was quite harsh tho, the examiner thought i was passing to close to parked cars, i mean THOUGHT i was too close, he should bloody well know that i was to fail me! but hey ho!
I was told i should try taking rescue remedy to calm my nerves but the second time round i didnt need it, its definately easier the more you do it, although more expensive, and talking to the examiner does help too, mine started asking how much his tyres would cost if he came to me! lol! And i think thinking that id failed my second test because of a mistake i made helped cos i relaxed thinking sod it ive already failed but came out with 7 minors.
All i can say is i wish you all the best for the next one and that you will pass! Nerves can be a ###### but you know what the test conditions are like so you should hopefully be a bit more relaxed for the next one, and if you pass ill buy you an e-beer or two!
