I'm pretty good I think and my instructor agrees

Just wondering how many you took so I know how far of I am, passed my theory test as well today

Hoping another 2 months and I should be booking my practical

After 10 lessons I thought I was good and became cocky, its not good and makes you worse IMO, I passed after 33 lessons

Instructors will always tell you you aint ready for your test so he/she can make more money off you.I booked my test behind my instructors back then asked him to take me on the day.he wasn't happy when he seen me get my certificate

I'm hoping to be in it for it soon, only things I've to be taught now is reversing around a corner and parking

Maybe another 4 lessons and I'll get him to book it.

Doing 1 a week, its cost me £270 so far

I did around 42 lessons, Failed 2 Theory test and passed on the third theory test just as they put the amount of questions up, passed my test first time though.

I personally wasn't confident at all, I kept failing the Theory tests which would be a massive downer, then learnt in the hazard perception test that you can click more than once

so that helped out the final time.

The main test I was really nervous about, got abit carried away and thought i would impress him by overtaking a lorry on a dual carriageway, then realised i was doing 90mph so slowed down and was certain I had failed.
Most nervous part was when I finished and he sat there for the longest 5 minutes of my life before he told me I had passed.
