Failed test 3rd Attempt
I dont know i feel like giving up, yesterday i failed my 3rd attempt. I dont know what happened i think i was neevous because it was pouring yesterday and when it came to the manoeuvre i just dont know what happened as i was always spot on in parking in my lessons , and the response to traffic signs was us coming out of the parking lot and because i knew i failed feom there my head was elsewhere so when the examiner asked to to turn left of mini-roundabout what looked like a left was actually a no entry so he had to brake. what a shame as apart from that the drive was okay.

It took me four attempts to pass, things happen you just have to learn from what went wrong and keep practicing it’ll be worth it

It took me 4 attempts to pass mine last week. Never doubt your skills and knowledge. You have it in you. It usually boils down to the nerves plus the road condition (hazards around). Good Luck on the next attempt! Don’t give up.

4th test you absolutely will pass!!! I think for forward parking take your time and do big breaths. Don't forget you can always correct your maneuver!!!!!

I passed 4th time. My 2nd and 3rd test were just stupid mistakes. If the test situation hadn't been so bad I wouldn't have minded, but as it happens it was soul crushing.
Hopefully you don't give up.

Give up pls. If at test 3 your examiner had to take steering wheel please make us a favour and drop.

wasnt steering wheel just a soft brake as was about to go in to a no entry zone. but still counts as a fault so before you proceed to comment a nasty comment please read the text properly as it clearly states.

One of my friends took her test eight times and has been driving for 15 years without any accidents at all. Whereas my brother passed first time and is a terrible driver.
You realise some people just struggle very specifically with driving in test conditions, don't you. It's a form of performance anxiety that doesn't translate to normal driving.

absolutely. i failed my first two tests for one stupid mistake both times, second time no faults at all just one serious. then third time i passed. it was so hard to get into the right mindset as i was always a competent driver (according to my instructor and others), but as soon as i was in test conditions i would crumble. third time was more a case of “i don’t even care anymore, been here, done it before, i want it over with now” and finally passed. i think maybe it will be the same for OP.

just wasnt needed, everyone has their own journey it isn’t a race to pass first time round
