Yeah, "show me how to turn on your fog lights"
"Tell me how you open the bonnet"

Really easy stuff, and under bonnet checks like "show me how you would check the oil level" "Tell me how to top up the oil" etc etc

go in confident, not cocky, but confident if you go in all nervous your more likely to make mistakes and remember its not the end of the world if you fail, im sure loads of members on here never passed first time. including me.

Passing is easy, not making stupid mistakes that fail you, trust me i know from experiance lol, very nearly passed mine 1st time did all requirements and on way back to test centre, then i relaxed too much and failed it due to drifting, then second test bad bus driver made me stall as i started to overtake him, he just set off no warning at all, stuck in middle of road lol, ah wat a knightmare but after i got back told i had passed, so relieved and overjoyed, thought he killed my chance to pass.

As for questions, check up on internet have them on there, and sound as though you know what your talking about, mine actually helped me, so easy questions and let the examiner think you know as well, all about reverse psychology really. 8)
