    try bach's rescue remedy. it's a homeopathic flower remedy which you can pick up from boots for less than a fiver.

    As long as you are not nervous during the test then you'll be fine.

    It's is expected to be nervous before hand. I've done 2 tests now & I'm still bricking it every time before the test.

    Thanks for the replys, im not really a drugs person and prefer to rely on natural things than drugs.

    I guess theres no beating it, i just have to face the facts.

    Thanks anyway :)

    you can get kalms from boots, but it's a bit late, you might be able to get them from a supermarket. I'm not sure if they work, I take them when I have exams though, maybe it's worth a go.

    But don't worry it's natural to be nervous. Try and have a nice relaxing night.

    I know it's not the ideal way to deal with it, but just take your test and see what happens, examiners understand that you nervous, i was crippled with fear on my first driving test (and failed) but on my second one i knew what to expect and so i wasn't as worried and drove brilliantly (got like 3 minors in total!)

    I wouldnt take something like Kalms if I were you, as you need your wits about you. Rescue remedy is good for nerves, its a bach flower remedy and a lot of people swear by it. I got my husband some when he was having panic attacks, I also used it myself on my first day back to work, and its completely safe.
