PPL Skills Test

Hello All,

Well, my instructor thinks I'm prepared for my skills test, so I have it booked for the 8th November. I feel fairly confident with everything, but it's been so long since I've done a nav flight, I feel that I may make a silly mistake or something. There seems to be conflicting reports of what to expect in the test, and one of those relates to the diversion. On the 2nd leg of my planned route, I will, apparently, be asked to divert to a different place. Do I have to draw on the map my new route, or will it just be a case of guesstimating which heading and how far away it is? Or do I also need to do a time calculation in my head etc?

Has anyone got any tips on the test, because it would be great to hear from various people?

Many thanks
