andy hughes is right (of course). Don't panic. I was on my fourth test when I stalled on a hill. Totally fed up I just got on with starting up and doing all the rest. It was a new Renault and I had to wait for the dashboard lights to go off, so I explained this is English to a Spanish examiner, then pottered off. I was so amazed when he passed me, because I was convinced I had failed but because I didn't panic, I passed. Good luck to your bro.
a cup of tea always calms you down, well thats wot my mum will say, go have a cup of tea and sit down and think of nothing...
if its his second time tell him at least he knows what to expect this time as the first time your that nervous because you dont know what to expect. all you can do is reasure him that he is obviously ready for this or his instructor wouldnt have put him forwarded for it. take deep breaths before he goes into the car, make him tell himself he can do this. then get into the car and go for it....
If he fails this time because of nerves tell him to go see his doctor next time and ask him for a beta blocker, it is a capsule that prevents a rush of adrenalin which is what causes the feeling of panic.
They are good for that big job interview, or when you have to stand in front of a room full of people and speak.
The one I use occasionally is called "half inderalla 80mg"
