QUICK ANSWER
Nervousness does not mean you cannot drive. Reduce uncertainty by knowing the process, practicing the skills, and preparing your vehicle and documents.
WHAT THAT MEANS
During the test, focus on the driving situation in front of you instead of mentally replaying the whole test.
SUPPORTING ANSWER SECTIONS
Before test day
Remove avoidable uncertainty.
During the test
Return attention to what you see, what is happening, and what you need to do now.
After a mistake
Do not let one mistake become the reason for the next one.
