Relax, your examiner is not trying to catch you out. What he is prob thinking is "would I feel happy if my daughter was sitting here?"
Good luck.

Do it exactly as you were taught, don't try to be clever or original in anything, neither try to cut any corners.

Secondly, enjoy and learn from it.

Relax, you won't be sitting it, you'll be flying it, which is much more fun.

Relax, enjoy, and just do it properly.

If you pass, congratulate yourself and move on to the next phase of learning.

If you fail, accept that you need a wee bit more experience, and pass it next time, then move on to your next phase of learning. Would you really want the examiner to say that you have passed if you are not good enough?

Chances are, your instructor would not put you forward for test if you had not already demonstrated the ability to do it all to the required standard so I suspect that you'll be fine.


Let us know how it it works out.

Well done Captain Self.
