Take deep breaths and say… "I am GOING to pass, this is a piece of cake!!"
Visualize yourself PASSING , that worked for me.

The best way to get over your driving anxiety is just to practice practice practice! Go to a driving school if you can and take a practice test with them and some driving lesson, that way you will be totally prepared when you take the actual test and it will be a breeze. I had to take the test twice and I was totally nervous when taking my driving test so I understand. It helped for me to remember that it was just like any other day driving in my car, nothing had changed, it was just a different person in the car with me is all. Remember the testers want you to pass, they are not trying to fail you, they want you to do well! Driving just gets to be second nature after awhile, but you have to keep at it for a few months.
