Unhappy Any words of wisdom?

I blew my PPL skill test by being over nervous! I had a complete brain shut down and couldn't navigate to my first check point!

No excuses, but I was flying an aircraft I was not as familiar with as the one I had trained in, same type, just a different instrument layout and it threw me off! A simple thing I know but none the less I still blew it. I have plans to go commercial, but all it has made me feel is incompetent! Is there any point when I can't pass the PPL skill test, god help me on the I/R.

I feel crap and cannot get my confidence back up, does anyone have any uplifting anecdotes for me??

I've re-booked in for the test later in the week but cannot lift my spirits to face the challenge.

Help.................................................
