When they pull you up at the side of the road and say "move on when you're ready" take a deep breath or 3 and be ready, chill for a bit then move on when you're actually ready. Plus, mirrors, mirrors, mirrors.

A good one is every time the examiner says anything make an effort to check your rear view mirror so that he or she sees you do it. They'll be looking at you when they say something so they'll see you doing your best observing. Do this in addition to all your mirror, signal, manoeuvre stuff.
One thing I did on my test was staying in gear with my foot on the clutch when I was at a junction. There was a stream of traffic and I had nowhere to go. The adrenalin was surging and my left foot started to shake with the clutch depressed. My examiner said to come out of gear and relax my leg as she could see I was struggling. It worked and I passed. -
Don't go the wrong way down a one way street. That didn't do me any favours on my first test.

drive like a learner, don't be overly confident, obviously check all mirrors so they see you doing it. Any time you set off check all the mirrors including if get you to do an emergency stop. Remember a manouver isn't done until you stop so if you screw up the parking slightly you can reverse and realign, you'll just get a minor rather than a major.

Don't leave us hanging. Did you pass?

Any road or driving tips that one might encounter taking a driving test in Enfield later this week? I booked it in May as it was the soonest available date, but bad cold prevented me from doing a recce and practice runs this week.
For unexpected reasons, my job hinges on me passing this test, so any advice would be appreciated.
