Man you'll be right. confidence is the key. Even if you try to act confident, and smile, your body will feel better about itself and relax.

Havn't failed a driving test once (I am on my green P's). Leaving the rta on the driving test, its on a blind corner. So I tell him I am going to creap out and then take off. He told me it was illegal to creap. You either go or stop, not in between. That was his only concerne but gee it made me nervous for the test.

You'll be right mate.

When it got to third time lucky, I really didn't care about being nervous, or being overconfident. It was sorta like I'd given up before anything had happened.
