Practical Test - Preparation is everything!

I am a great believer in the need for the pupil to be ready mentally as well as physically to take the test.
I believe the run up to the test is critical.

• I once had a female pupil who took her test after completing over 20 hours of lessons. Her test was on a Friday morning. On the Wednesday night, she had broken up with her boyfriend & was devastated. I took most of the hour's lesson to convince her that she needed to concentrate and to show that .... 'person'!!! that she was better off without him by passing her test. On Thursday night, he returned and pleaded with her to take him back, they went out clubbing until 2am Friday morning and finished off at his house. I was to meet her at 9am. She called me at 8.45 to say she was going to be late & got to Maidstone at 9.20 - but without her own clothes (she had borrowed some from her boyfriend's sister) and all her documents! Boyfriend had to race over to her house, collect her things and race over to Maidstone Test Centre where she and I were now waiting! He got to the centre with minutes to spare! Needless to say, it was a fruitless exercise as she failed dismally - but couldn't understand why the examiner was soooo against her!
  

Motto: Fail to Prepare - Prepare to Fail
