1. Are You Physically Prepared for your practical driving test?

- Fill out the green licence application form before you get there(this will take you 5 to 10 minutes)
- Double-check that the booking time is correct(refer to your test booking confirmation slip)
- If you are under 25 years of age—Do you have at least 120 hours of driving recorded in your logbook(including 20 hrs of night driving)
- If you are under 25 years of age –is your logbook signed by your supervising driver?
2. Are You Mentally Prepared for your practical driving test?
Firstly, it helps a great deal if you are in a calm state of mind (as much as possible). No one likes the idea of having to be tested, so it is quite natural to be feeling a bit stressed out.
The important thing to make sure any nervousness does not interfere with your ability to drive the car in a safe competent manner (stay focused on the task at hand).
Here are some tips on how to stay calm & confident for the driving test from Driving Schools Gregory Hills
- Listen to calming music on the day and the days leading up to the test—google relax daily music.
- Do as much practice driving as possible in the weeks before your test.
- Practice kerb side stops/three-point turns/reverse parallel parking.
- Practice driving in the area you are going to be tested.
- Remind yourself that you are a safe capable driver because you have prepared yourself adequately for your driving test.
- Read the handbook—preparing for your driving test, available from any RMS service center.
- Get some driving lessons with a qualified driving instructor who is familiar with the area that you are going to be tested on, and is able to assist you with fixing any areas of concern with your driving skills that need attending to.
- Remember this is your chance to demonstrate you are a safe careful driver who is worthy to have the privileged to drive a motor car on the public roads without a supervising driver.
