Booking test, take the first slot:
The later in the day that you take your driving test the more likely you are to work yourself into a frenzy beforehand, so maybe it will be best taking your test early so that you can get it out of the way.

Are you in the middle of your exams? any kind of additional pressure can have an impact on you learning to drive or passing your test.
Book the right test centre:
Driving test’s are not just about learning test routes, in order to gain your full licence you should be able to drive on any road safely, but it is important that you pick a test centre that is easy for you to get to, you don’t want to be stressing out about having to travel a long distance and being late.
