Perhaps easier for me to say from the point of view of someone on the right side of that test but it worked for me:
You are nervous because you are worried that you'll fail. Therefore, if you think you'll pass you'll be less nervous. Why not allow yourself to think you'll pass? After all, by your test date you'll have been properly trained and your instructor won't put you up for the test unless he/she thinks you'll pass.
Obviously, being overconfident is never good for a whole host of reasons. But why not be quietly confident of your abilities? It will neither be arrogant nor jinx the result. But it WILL help your nerves.
