Well the big day has finally arrived - as it is now after midnight.
I sit my ICB Manual Level III at 5pm. Gearing - I think I'll just have to accept I'm going to drop points here. As for the rest - I am confident of getting a good mark. I know the logic behind everything so only stress will prevent me getting maximum marks from the rest. Stress from the limited space available on the desk etc.
But mainly stress from driving to the exam centre. I hate driving. No, rephrase that, I hate parking. I've had my car 4 years now (it goes into the doctors on Friday for the annual service/MOT) and in that time I have not once reverse parked or parallel parked (?) in between two cars. Nor did I reverse park in the two years I took driving lessons. And the parking spaces for the centre are hidden as they are accessed in between two buildings.
Ah well, one last cup of coffee before bed. Madness I know.

Good luck with the exam - you only need to pass, you don't need full marks that's only for yourself.
I know you're a bloke but the above paragraph really sounds like a woman!!!!!! or me anyway I hate parallel parking especially in the cars nowadays where the fronts and the rears seem to slide out of view. I can park the landrover where I can see front and back ends 'cos it's square but for the life of me I can't park the little citroen!!
Good luck Peasie I actually like driving especially parking I find easy but hate exams but you will be fine just keep calm and go through the questions twice so you make sure you understand what they are asking for as sometimes I rush read and misunderstand
I am confident of passing but I DO want to pass with a good mark for my own confidence which sadly I do tend to lack in most of the time. I just hope I don't leave the exam failing Arnold J. Rimmer style - although as the exam is marked by a computer "I am a fish" will be no more wrong than any other wrong answer.

Passed the exam with 96%. You never know, it might even get bumped up a couple - the last time the Pearson Vue centre had one % and the ICB had a different %. I'll probably have lost marks on my favourite subject (Gearing) but I hope it wasn't because I gave my mark as XX.x % and they would only want it as XX %. They never gave any indication.
There were a couple of questions that would have been better worded.
Still, mustn't grumble - had I got 100% I would have thought it false for some strange reason.
Had to open the driver's window driving back to give the smile on my face room to move.
