Breathing exercises won't help you. You feel emotions in accordance with your goal. If your goal was to pass your exam and to finally have a drivers license, you would feel excitement. You feel anxiety because your true goal is to avoid the pain and embarrassment of failure. You are thinking failure, so you feel like one.
 
I don't know your age or lifestyle, but I suffered from anxiety as a teenager. One day after basketball practice a friend suggested I try martial arts as a confidence booster. I took up Wing Chun and almost straight away noticed the difference. Wing Chun or Yong Chun is a concept-based martial art, a form of Southern Chinese kung fu, and a close-quarters system of self-defense. It is a martial arts style characterized by its focus on close-quarters hand-to-hand combat, rapid-fire punches, and straightforward efficiency. It has a style that emphasizes capturing and sticking to an opponent's centerline. I didn't really get into the eastern philosophy of it, but it will definitely build up physical strength and confidence. It also has added benefits. You will find when it becomes general knowledge at school, the bullies will stay clear of you and the women will be more attracted to you. I still have problems about my emotions and feelings, but that is a separate issue that I'm working on my chakras for.

 
Emotions can't simply be straight up locked up or avoided, one should understand where those feelings are coming from.

I am nervous right now, I know few good reasons why, If I decide do nothing, then im cursing myself then what stops me doing so it's others thoughts of which lead to just more disaster, thinking maybe my answer is probably wrong and make things even worse but then it's been always hard in my nature to accept anyone really, ever.
 
It really depends of your circumstances and your persona really.

Do you want a driving license? Maybe you do maybe you don't. I didn't wanted one, I don't have one. When I've got 18yo my parents at that time pushed me into it and failed it on purpose, on my money as well, just to "prove them right", meaning they did not belive in myself ever, but main reason was the fact I actually never wanted this.

Being "nervous" is at times when does not like his current stage and wants or wishes within to do better or/and change.

Do long deep breathing only, as other ones can agitate your nerves even more.

After, visualize yourself successfully passing the exam. Tell yourself that soon you will take the exam and you will do the best you can. Feeling nervous is normal, it happens even with happy things coming to us. You feel nervous because it is something new, something different happening in your life. Understanding this will on its own help you to deal with your nerves.

Nervousness stems from lack of self confidence, instead of not being nervous you should focus upon being more confident.

You can have a short session of void, then breathe in solar energies and program them to be more confident.

Or use vibrations if you feel like they are needed.
 
I see others are focusing on visualising having passed the test. I think it's important to imagine you've got the driving skills mastered. I'd imagine that You're completely competent, relaxed, focused and in control behind the wheel. Yes master visualising yourself as a natural and being good at the parallel parking and road reading and hazard perception, just practice being good in your mind because having the ability to be able and in control is what it's all about.

I have a warning about the instructor. Mine asked me first if I was a good driver? And I said yes.

He was old school and that was the wrong answer. So he wanted to knock that over confidence out of me and I almost didn't get it. I think he believed no one was a good driver because we must always be humble.

Apparently driving is very........dangerous. And my instructor screamed that I must have no Ego when driving. It's all about driving defensively. Other road users will do wrong things and your job is not to judge and not to react inappropriately because frustration causes accidents.

So if you are asked if you are a good driver, the right answer might be confident you are ready to pass the test but realise your true learning starts after you've got the licence because a person must always try to be careful and safe and learning is an ongoing process. Something like, yes you're ready to be tested and you will always try your best because you're exposed to risk on the road and driving can be dangerous. But to become a safe driver you need the license to gain the experience to avoid accident situations.

There was an old study on the driver and other road users. The study was seeming to go towards a man drives as he lives. That means personal characteristics and emotional attitudes. They looked at the drivers age, sex, whether they were single, married, widowed or divorced. And although there were direct corresponding ratios to inner problems and road collisions. At the end of the report the outcome was it was experience that made a safe driver. So no one is a good driver but to aspire to be a safe driver you need experience at reading the road for hazard perception to avoid potential accident situations.

Just practice in your mind driving as well as on the road.
