For many people the thought of taking their driving test can be worse than the actual test itself, it is usually the fear of what will happen on the day itself which brings on an attack of anxiety. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

So how can we get rid of it?

Most people who experience anxiety would describe themselves as almost feeling out of control, all of a sudden physical symptoms come rushing into them.

A list of these issues are:

- Heart palpitations
- Trembling or shaking
- Nausea or abdominal distress
- Numbness
- being out of touch with yourself
- Hot flushes or chills

If you feel anxious only in response to a specific situation it is called situational anxiety. Situational anxiety is different from everyday fear in that it tends to be out of proportion. If you feel apprehension about taking your driving test then you have situational anxiety.

Anxiety can be brought on merely by thinking about taking your driving test. When you feel distressed about what might happen when you get behind the wheel with the examiner sitting next to you, and watching your every movement, you are experiencing what is called anticipatory anxiety. Sometimes this anxiety becomes intense enough to be called panic.

Well you are not alone millions of people get driving test nerves before they take their test.

So what can you do? You have been told by your driving instructor that you drive well, and are capable of passing, but you still feel in a state of panic?
