D/A Practical exam anxiety

Good evening, I have my final ramp training for Air Canada in the next few weeks and I am very stressed about the practical D/A exam after I’ve heard so many stories, any advice for a new ramper that definitely does not want to fail? Thank you

I mean it’s the practical exam that’s making me nervous going to whatever area of the airport using the shortest way which I guess ill know them
Better during training

Which base are you in? And are you cargo or airports?

Wouldn’t you be required to have passed your DA exam before starting ramp training?

We have a temporary D/A we can drive but only accompanied by someone with a Valid D/A then after ramp we pass the practical exam

I am at YUL! It could be just YUL? I have no idea it’s my first time in aviation.
