At the risk of TMI, my original post has turned out to be more literally true than I originally thought.

Pass the imodium....

WK,

IF you know the material, then there's nothing wrong with being nervous, for you can use that nervous energy to do well...

Like said above, the testing will NOT have anything in it that's not in the manual.........but it is a lot of stuff to cover though! lol

OK, if you are taking the written and driving test today then here's some useful material to help you in the multiple choice test questions:

Useful test-taking techniques.


There are a number of techniques that can improve your score on any multiple-choice exam. Many students who fail the license exam do so by only a few percentage points. But if you have the patience to employ these test-taking techniques, you may be able to increase your score by 5% or more—enough to make the difference between passing and failing.
Take the test one question at a time. Don’t scan the test to see what’s ahead of you. If you do, you’ll focus on the most troublesome questions, which will only demoralize you.


Read the question carefully. Make sure you understand the question before you consider the options. Don’t hurry; you’ll have plenty of time to finish. If you misread the question the first time, you’ll tend to misinterpret it the same way every time you read it.


Conceal the options while you read the question. An incorrect option can influence the way you read the question. Cover the options with your hand or with a piece of paper until you’re satisfied that you understand the question that's being asked.


Eliminate obviously wrong answers and work backwards to the right one. You may be able to eliminate only one or two of the options. Even so, you’ve raised your odds from 1 in 4 to 2 or even 3 in 4, and that’s a big improvement.


Pay attention to words like ALWAYS, NEVER, or EXCEPT. Few things in life are "always" or "never." Greet these words with suspicion. The word "except" can turn a question around, and when you see the word in either the question or one or more of the options, make a mental note of it.


Double-check each answer. And do it as you go along. When you select an answer option, quickly go over both question and answer to be sure that you really wanted to choose that particular option.


As a general rule, once you've answered a question, don’t change your answer, even if you're unsure of the answer you selected. After three decades of experience with tens of thousands of students, we know that you are much more likely to change an answer from correct to incorrect instead of the reverse. Unless you’re absolutely certain you marked the wrong answer, resist the temptation to change it.


Don’t dwell on a question you can’t answer. As you work through the exam, skip over the questions you don't know the answer to. Don’t waste time on questions you’re struggling with until you’ve answered all the easy ones.


Don’t let a question beat you more than once. If you spend too much time and energy working on, puzzling over, or worrying about a few difficult questions, it may affect your mental alertness and ability to concentrate. That might cause you to miss questions you would otherwise have answered correctly.


Don’t be afraid to select the same options several times in a row. If, according to your best judgment, the answer to four or five consecutive questions is "A," then mark your answers accordingly. This can and does happen.


Occasionally, the answer to an earlier question is revealed in a later question. This is one of the few situations where changing an answer would be justified. Be alert to the possibility, but don’t count on it.


Don’t keep score as you go along. This might discourage you and affect your overall performance. If you want to tally your score by counting the questions you think you answered correctly, wait until you finish the test.


Don’t compete with other applicants. You’re given plenty of time to complete the exam and you should use as much of it as you need. Don’t worry if other people finish before you do. Many students who finish quickly fail.

Improve Your Odds When You Guess


Regardless of how thoroughly you prepare, there will be some questions on the exam that you don’t know the answer to, so you'll have to guess. There are some rules to follow that will increase the odds of guessing correctly. (We’re referring to the "pure guess" as opposed to the "informed guess" here.) If you’re guessing, follow these guidelines:
If two of the answer options are opposites, choose one of those two.


If one of the answer options is noticeably longer than the others, choose that one.


If two of the four options are almost identical, choose the longer one.


Don’t select any answer that uses absolute terms such as "all," "never," "always," and "must."


General terms such as "most," "some," and "usually" are more likely to be found in a correct answer.


Distrust exaggerated or complex options.


If you’ve never heard of it before, don’t select it.


Answer every question, even if you’re guessing. Unanswered questions are marked wrong. There is no penalty for guessing.

Don’t Give Up!


There will be questions you’re absolutely certain you answered correctly. Unfortunately, there will be others you’re not so sure of. When the stakes are so high, it’s easy to get discouraged. The best way to handle this is to attack each and every question as if it were the only question on the exam.


Don’t keep fretting about question 11 when you’re answering number 12. You’re going to miss some questions, but you don’t need anything close to a perfect score to pass. You’re going to be in the exam room for hours. Tough it out one question at a time.


*When taking the driving part of the exam, ALWAYS follow the laws; ie, the speed limit, parking/no parking signs, etc, for this is a quick failure!


*If you by chance get a driver examiner who does nothing but confuse you or cause you trouble, pull over to a safe, legal spot and have a talk with him/her. If you're gonna fail anway by being nervous and making some mistakes, it is wise to ask the person NOT to interfere unless it means life/death issue!!!


*Be yourself and drive like no one is with you; but DO listen to the directions being given you by the driver examiner, for they are grading you on what they want you to do.........if you're unsure about the answer, please ask in a nice manner so that you understand the instructions fully!


Good luck and mazel tov!
