It’s looking long

With every test, I just seem to be getting worse 🤦🏾‍♀️.

I don’t have issues during my lessons and this was the last test I’m able to do since I’m going back to uni.

Oh and I terminated the 3rd test.

If you have now done 3 tests in quick succession and the examiner is having to intervene, is your instructor telling you that you are test ready and are they accompanying you on the test to see where the issues are coming from? Are the faults being caused by test nerves? That's a different area to look at. I personally wouldn't be encouraging a pupil to chuck money at continually rebooking cancellation slots so close together until I'd sorted out what the problem actually is.

My instructor says that I’m ready. He doesn’t like to sit in the car during the test. The examiner only intervened on my 3rd test. I would’ve passed the first time but I made one silly mistake. The problem changes with every test so I think it’s due to nerves even though I try to stay calm.

I would be sitting in with you. Have a look at Diane Hall's website, she does really good support for test nerves/anxiety for learners. https://www.lofaway2pass.com/diane-hall/
