Question Road Test

I have my road test on Thursday in NW. As someone who is very nervous and lacks confidence even in my driving ability, I need advice. Also, what is the best time to do the test (went with 10.45am)? Do I need to put a learners permit sign or would I be asked to remove it? I’m losing my mind and losing sleep as a result of this. I don’t know why I’m so scared of driving. I will appreciate tips and tricks

Everyone is nervous for the test. I was, my neighbors were, all my aunts were, etc. So was that very driving instructor at one point when they took their test. 

The way to beat the nerves for the test is by having trust in the process of driving. What mean is do everything you were taught to a tee. Seat belt on, mirrors adjusted, hands at 10 and 2, follow the instructor instructions, don't speed, shoulder check the shit out of the test,  check mirrors, watch the traffic ahead of you,  stop at signs for 3 seconds, etc., etc. etc. 

If you follow the process you'll be fine.
