Good luck on your road test! At least in the US, you don't have to be perfect. Take a deep breath and do the best you can.
(Although the road test is important and a big accomplishment, I think your self-confidence in driving is equally as important. I didn't achieve the latter until several years after my road test.)
I can lose up to 45 points and still pass, until I do something dangerous. I am trying to stay calm, but I am so scared. I take it at 10:45AM, so I'm worried about how things will be in the morning with Wendy & June. I've had some good driving lessons, but I did awful the time before last and each stupid mistake made me panic more. I also am very unhappy with the driving school. I paid for the classroom time & 10 hours of driving, but they gave a discount on the classroom time as I'd taken it in 2006 so didn't really need to retake it. Well they then decided to take the discount difference from my driving time and were going to count my 6 hours from 2006 so I'd only get 4 hours drive time. My mom's Sonata still hasn't been fixed so the driving school was my only time to practice. So I've ended-up paying extra for "extra hours". They didn't inform me they were counting my 9 year old hours until 3 weeks ago. The stress of thus & how awful Wendy has been about it has me on edge, especially since my upset with the driving school has made

I lost 38 points, most of which due to nerves. But I second-guessed where to stop at a red light (I've never had a red light there before), and moved ahead to the next line, but since I moved ahead a a red light it was considered a dangerous maneuver so I automatically failed right at the end.
I'm sorry to hear that. You must be very disappointed/frustrated/upset. It's harder to do than say, but beating yourself up over it isn't worth it. Maybe you can find a different teacher, someone you're more comfortable with, and built your confidence before trying again? My mom's told me she regrets having my dad teach me how to drive as she thinks that contributed to my self-esteem issues post-college. (My dad's a fantastic driver, but he's not a very patient teacher and I was a super nervous driver to begin with
