Hi aerofoil, I'm in almost exactly the same position - just a week behind you as my skill test is a week on Monday. I too have taken 3 years to get myself to this point, it's cost a lot of money and a lot of time and effort. It's also been great fun. As some of the others have said, and from what I've read in previous threads - as long as you fly exactly the way you've been taught, with good regard to safety, airmanship, navigation and 'captaincy' (if that's a word) then you can't fail. And don't think of it as a test, think of it more of an opportunity to show the examiner how good a pilot you are. Do let us know how you get on.
