I’ve always found it easy to train folks who have no pre-conceived ideas on reversing. My advice: listen, and listen well, to your trainer. If they’re any good, you’ll have it sorted in a couple of hours tops. If they have to get other info out of your head first, it’ll take longer.

When I was training for my class 1 with Peter Smythe the trainer said I was a little tense and suggested I try moving my hands from a “ten to two” position, to a “twenty past eight” position. I tried it and the effect was immediate. It makes your shoulders drop and for me the tension dropped too. I tried to drive for the rest of the week like that and was much more relaxed. While on my test I found myself tensing up and very deliberately changed my hand position and took a few deep breaths, the test seemed less stressful from that point on and I passed on my first attempt. I’m not suggesting this is all you have to do to pass but an awful lot of folk on here fail because nerves got the better of them so any little thing that can calm you is worth a try.
all the very best of luck
