Attitude

The more I do this job, the more I believe that there is very little between a pupil that passes or fails.
For a start, I wouldn't allow anyone to take the test that I did not think was able to pass it. The biggest difference as far as I can see is attitude.
There are those who believe that they are going to fail or may pass if they are 'lucky'. It is these pupils who will more likely fail.
Other pupils have the confidence that they know everything they should do and they have been everywhere they need to and even if they are asked to go down a road that they know very little about, they know that if they are careful for the duration of that road, they will be OK.
I try to get my pupils psyched-up for the test by imagining themselves doing the turns or manoeuvres that they are unsure of, and also of passing the test - how it will feel - how important it is for them to pass.
It may sound a bit 'Hairy Fairy' but I believe that it works - why? Because I used it and it worked for me!
I was on my third and final attempt at passing the Part 3 exam to become a Driving Instructor and I went through this process. I knew where I was going - I was fully prepared and I didn't slip up - so now I'm telling you what to do as well. Give it a go - what have you got to loose?
