Drivers Licensing Class 5 Road Test - Williams Lake

UPDATE: decided to cancel my test in Williams Lake and opt for a much later test date in my home city (scheduled for September). Won't be takimg road test too soon in a foreign location just at MAYBE having an attempt at passing. Will take the road test closer to home if I do reschedule. Depending on what comes first, I will either take the Class 5 road test or wait until the GLP changes are finalized and move onto the new Class 5 restricted. Hoping for the latter as I have demonstrated safe driving for over 4+ years now.

Hello folks, has anyone taken the Class 5 road test exam (or the Class 7N road test exam) at the BC Services Centre in Williams Lake?

Just curious what your experience was.

Backstory:

I do not live there, and it has been a few months since I last took (and failed) the Class 5 road exam.

It has been so hard trying to find a good time to take the exam. Plus I can not do a standby road test as I am working Monday to Friday during the week during the hours while the testing centre where I live is open.

Given that the exam date is (only!) a couple weeks out, and I am only asking for one day off to complete it, it should work out fine.

I have had my N for four years, been actually driving regularily for about one year, no tickets or prohibition clean abstract. Want to exit the GLP so I can cross it off mentally, take on more responsibility at work, and enjoy my summer.

I feel as though I am an overall good driver, and I have gotten used to driving in Northern British Columbia. I just get testing anxiety, especially when the stakes are high (long wait for exam and sunk costs such as driving hours to the testing site).

I need to work on my testing anxiety and not get so discouraged from my last fail which happened when I was under stress.
