I remember when I first turned 16, I was so excited to finally get my British drivers license. I remember asking my mother how to get rid of the butterflies in my stomach since I would be in the car taking the test with a state trooper. The answer to my question was quite surprising, the way she always settled her nerves in stressful situations was very simple. She told me to concentrate on the task at hand to the point where a mistake would  impossible, and if I really started to get nervous, to think about something I was going to be doing 1 hour after I was done with the test.The tools that my mother gave me to beat the nerves worked, however, I did still fail my test because I didn’t prepare as well as I thought I had, in retrospect I remember hearing a lot of people tell me that most people fail it the first time anyway.
