Drivers exam tomorrow. How do I calm my nerves?

[RN97]

I have my drivers exam tomorrow. I've already failed it once and the exam cost around 6000 Norwegian kroners to take, that means 668.135 Euros. That stuff is not cheap even for a Norwegian.
Do you have your license? What are some tips? How do I calm my nerves, I'm extremely nervous I won't pass. What should I do in order to calm my nerves?

I passed the test on the first trial, I was a bit nervous too, and you sort of can't escape that unless you're on Xanax, ther nerveousness gradually wears off, as soon as you are comfortable with the car, and have a clear overview of what's infront of you, aswell as the back (Blind spot, this is very important), one other thing, is to focus on three main paramters.

1.Road Signs
2.Trafic Lights
3.Attention to what the driving instructor wants.


But if all of this is too much to handle, you could always pop a few pills to calm you down your nerves or to sharpen your overview.

Nah, I don't think I'm going to be popping any pills. Hopefully my nerves wear off once I start driving. One of my biggest fears is my hands shaking causing me to not be able to drive smoothly at a high speed since at home I drive a SUV, while the car I'll be tested on is a A-class mercedes. Very sensitive steering. One other think I such at is making quick decision under pressure. Like if the instructor makes me take a right left turn and I have to change two lanes in a short time span, I often stress.
Hoping for the best though. I think I shall pass. In what country did you pass the test, if you don't mind me asking?

Sleep well and think "I'm going for another driving class". During the examination just concentrate and apply what you have learned all this time.Having some stress is normal,because it's an exam,but try to relax.

Hopefully I'll be able to do so. I'm going to attempt to listen to music before starting. I really need to at least be calm enough to stop shaking. Hopefully my exterminator will understand that I'm nervous and not punish me too much if I don't drive 100% smoothly.

Drive 5kms under the speed limit, keep checking your mirrors etc, watch the traffic signs and marking on the road.

lucky Bulgarians.
60 bucks is what a video game costs here. It would be way less stressful if it costed that little.

why should you be nervous about a drivers exam? Easy shit, passed it on my first try. I remember when I took mine. I parked like 2 feet off the curb lmao, but the guy was cool, told him I couldn't parallel so good yet and he still passed me.

If you fail the test here it costs like 10 dollars to retake it (I think), it sounds like it expensive af for you guys tho, they must make a killing failing you guys purposely for the shekels. Crazy shit

Well, they actually don't really have a incentive to fail us since they're government workers that get paid the same no matter what. They have an incentive to pass us because it will be less work for the same wage.
10-15 Dollars to retake the test sound stupid AF. A decent meal of biffchopsuey costs around 15 dollars here, lulz. If I was an American, I'd not give a damn, there are no consequences of failing. Here you have to pay a tax to the DMV(Vegvesen), pay the instructor for letting you lend his car, for the gas, for the warm up hour as well. You have to do that since you can't use your own car(the examinator has to have dual brakes, and other pedals). It's really shitty dude. No wonder even the retarded Americans have their license. Here out of all 18-20 year olds only about 30% have their license.
