Hertfordshire, England-- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2010 -- Many learners fail in their driving test because they get nervous and stressed out on their test day. Nearly everyone gets nervous about taking their driving test, no matter how well prepared they are. It has been observed that people who are usually cool and calm, they also get worried as the day of their driving test day gets nearer and their nervousness gets worse.

The online theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole online test, and you'll need to take both parts again. Once you have passed the online theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.

• Taking test in the early morning will give you less time to worry about it.
• Do not spread the news - Don't tell your friends and other people that you've booked your driving test. This will build the extra stress of trying to live up to your friends and others expectations. Letting your parents know will do as they will give you all the support you want.
• Revise in mind - Perform coordinated tasks by imagining doing them, by practicing in your head.
• Perspective - Overall, remember that although exams are important, they are not the be all and end all. You can always re-take the test.
