The Tessy bear BOGOF thread

[armchair_rider]

Never mind it could be worse. My brother turned up a day early and then when he did actually take it he failed by a couple of marks. I wouldn't worry about it, you've got an awful lot on at the moment and you can't do brilliantly at everything. Sure you'll be fine next time.

 

[Technique]

Aw hon; don't be too despondent, {{{hugs}}} you have a lot going on and you can re-do it. You just have to get your 'test head' right and glide effortlessly into your A levels.

Fingers crossed for some uplifting news on the horsey front.

Jools.x

 

[Bedlam]

Oh no - I'm sorry x

But it's not the end of the world - honestly! Rebook to sit it again soon - do you have access to an ipad or similar as there's an app that you can download with practice papers and hazard videos on. My daughter put it on my ipad and I played about with it and managed to pass on the 3rd attempt (been driving for over 20 years eeek!).

It's a beautiful day - the sun is out (hopefully where you are too), things are warming up and every day it is more likely that TB (and my Portia) will foal.

I don't think I've ever done this before but here goes:

Maybe when the foal is safely on the ground, you might be able to concentrate better

Failed by two marks :-( rock bottom moment seems with all my exams coming up all I am getting is bad news now quite sure the last time was when a completely broke down but just have infront of my poor dad no foal as of yet .

Don't be too hard on yourself you have a lot on your mind at the moment and you can always try again. Forget about it for now until foal is born and perhaps when your exams are over. Take time to enjoy your new foal, when she decides to arrive. You have coped so well so far and you should be very proud of yourself. Looking forward to seeing the photos of your new baby tomorrow?? Hopefully.

Oh bless you. You have had a lot on. You can retake your theory though, and you will pass your exams! Sometimes it's good to cry. I have friends similar age to you who can barely organise their lives, never mind a horse, an unexpected foal, exams and a driving test. Don't beat yourself up and take care of yourself x

 

[tessybear]

Thanks guys just stressed at the mo need to stop feeling sorry for myself Tessy bear hug is on the cards I think !

Perfectly put

ahhh don't worry, I keep telling my daughter not to expect to pass her theory or her driving test 1st time, unlike your exams you can just give it another go. second the App you can get. most of my daughters friends passed when they regularly passed on the app (must have a go myself, I'm not sure I would pass it)
my daughter is 17 and doing her A levels, its hard enough just to get her to muck out and bring horses in, I'll swap her for you
you're doing really well, hoping for a foal today or tonight for you!

 

[JenJ]

Put it behind you, rebook, and go ace it next time. Possibly when you won't have an imminent foaling on your mind! xxx

 

[tessybear]

Booked for next saturday I know what clip I faile on and have down loaded every app known to man ! Will take some photos for an update soon . Thank you for the support you beautiful people !

 

[Thistle]

If at first you don't suceed........

You must be exhausted, mentally as well as physically. Put it down to experience and at leat next time you know what to expect.

Now Tessybear get on with it we are all waiting. Not surprised you couldn't concentrate, bet half your brain was worrying about TB.

Well done you, you are a brave girl. Onward and upward. Not only will you pass next week but will have a lovely foal to come home too by then.

 

[MrsMozart]

Never mind lass! Onwards and upwards

Aww don't worry! My cousin failed by two marks as well and he's passed now. You'll be fine next time you've got so much to think about, i'm sure when you're not so stressed you'll find it easy. I know how you feel, I went into school after failing my driving test and completely broke down in front of loads of random people. You'll have some good news! Just a few more weeks of exams and things and then it'll all be over and you'll have a cute little foal too

I've just had my wisdom teeth out, I was hoping to come home to a foal! come on Tess!

I've got a CD that's exactly the same (the answers are even in exactly the same place) as the test that I could send you if you like? Me and my sister don't need it anymore.

 

[tessybear]

Aw that must of been crap Venus ! I didn't fail the question bit but the clips you have to click on a hazard thank you though !! X

 

[PleaseVenus]

Haha not the best! Uggh hazard perception is rubbish. I'm sure next week you'll be fine! At least you know what to expect now
No problem

 

[Sandstone1]

Sorry about your test, Dont worry though. You can always take it again. The best drivers always take more than one go!

 

[WelshD]

Don't worry about the test, I failed first time but passed a week or so later. It's quite a fickle test and doesn't take much to fail x

 

[Megibo]

Sorry about the test!

Tessy has to foal tonight, she has to!

 

[HollyWoozle]

I forgot about that bizarre hazard perception bit! Don't be disheartened, that part of the test was very random now I think about it. Just pick yourself up and be ready to give it another bash next week.

 

[morrismob]

Abby, 2 marks is nothing you'll be fine next time. I have kids ur age and it's such a pressurised time without unexpected foal you are doing amazingly well and I have huge respect for the way u are coping. Loads of support on here for you. Chin up xx

 

[ralph and maverick]

Sorry u didn't pass ur test, but I'm sure you'll pass with flying colours next week!!
Meanwhile come on tessy, the suspense is immense! x

 

[Racergirl]

Ahhh test schmecht. Who wants to pass on a day when so much more exciting things are going to happen anyway???

Pass it next week when theres not much else going on

You'll be grand, dont let it get you down - I know thats easy to say, but honestly - there are far more important things in the world and as the others have rightly pointed out - two points is nothing. And next time you will know exactly whats coming

and if the hazard was horses that I said to run over, then im sorry

xx

 

[Liath]

Bad luck on the theory test Abbie, but let it go and don't worry too much- the best drivers don't pass theory or practical first time!!

Hope the weather is at least being kind to you- I was all set to take my lad for our first solo trip to the 'gallopy gallopy' fields today as the weather was supposed to be fab, but it's hammering with rain, blowing a gale and pretty cold here so I'm wimping out!!

 

[Keenjean]

Don't worry, I failed my theory twice on hazard perception but passed my actual driving test easy as pie with only 1 minor! Keep positive

 

[mynutmeg]

Booked for next saturday I know what clip I faile on and have down loaded every app known to man ! Will take some photos for an update soon . Thank you for the support you beautiful people !

The hazard perception is wierd - I failed the first time I did because I was clicking too early!!!!

 

[3Beasties]

Abbie the hazard perception test is a nightmare! I had to do one last year to get my lorry licence and despite having driven for 8 years I failed the test quite spectacularly! Even second time round I only just passed! For me the hazards where very obvious so I was clicking too early and my clicks where not being registered! Second time round I just clicked a lot more and hoped for the best! I'm sure you'll pass next time so try not to worry

 

[Bertolie]

Sorry to hear about the test but I'm sure you will pass with flying colours next week. You have so much on your plate at the moment what with exams, driving tests and an impending foaling, please try and relax a bit and try and make time for a bit of 'Abbie' time xx

 

[Annagain]

They make sure a certain percentage of people fail just to make more money out of them re-doing it....that's the excuse I gave people when I failed anyway!

You're doing great, when you get to the end of all this and look back and doing your theory test twice will barely be a memory!

My whole family celebrated when my straight A, good at everything cousin failed her driving test first time round as we were starting to worry she wasn't human!!
