Bear in mind the examiner has to fit in that space behind you too
Really good advice on the other points, but I’d just add to this. You do not and should not be thinking about the examiner. If there is a gap, go. Sod him, he’s a trained professional and if he can’t get out and catch up then it’s his fault.
So only think about yourself and you riding.

Like I wrote before, the best bit of advice I got was to above all else, ride safely. If he tells you to go right and you can’t move lane because there’s a car up the side of you, go left or carry on, just don’t do anything silly to try and follow the instruction.
If you get stuck in traffic then happy days, just sit there but keep mirror checking so you’re aware of everyone around you.
You can get minor faults for hesitation but you’ve got 5 before a fail so if you’re not comfortable pulling out in a gap, just wait. Bear in mind the examiner has to fit in that space behind you too.
You will be nervous going into it but as soon as you make the first turn, just enjoy the ride, the nerves go away.
