Why not try a different instructor as it seems the reason you don't like to learn to drive is him! You might even feel more relaxed when you do your proper exam as they won't keep reminding you every 5 mins if you have failed! Doesn't seem the nicest of people if he is doing that

Change instructor maybe? How many lessons you had? My gf failed then came over to my instructor after getting constant reminders that she had failed from her old one. 6 lessons after she passed with 4 minors.

Serious sounds like your instructor to me. I know this isnt meant to sound insulting or big headed or anything like that, but my instructor taught me in 18 single lessons, and thats without driving a private vehicle. Now I know it differs from person to peron. But the test is a piece of piss, and my examiner was really friendly. All depends on the person you are assigned.

Unfortunatly yes, however some of them are really decent you can have a nice chat with them about things while your doing your test, some of my friends said there examiners were twats...
Mine was quite a sound block, just relax and be confident, and drive to the best of your ability 
Also good luck for the next test!

I did my test twice n both were instructors were pretty sorted, ppl make out they are all out to get you but they aint just do as you normally do - few more mirror checks etc they aint out to fail you or pass you its all down to you ..
my instructor was a bit of a twat at the end i think its becos if you pass thats their money gone so they knock ur confidence a bit haha, and yeh i didnt enjoy it !
but then I passed and every1 was like you should resit ur shit mwhaha youll be reet tho dont give up dude!

See, you dont want to be looking at it like that. Just go into the examine being confident, just not over the top. Just because you failed doesnt mean your a rubbish driver. Keep at it and you will be fine. Good luck

my test is also in a couple of weeks, i used to fail the same as you, i would go through a couple of shit lessons, and be like fuck, im not ready, but i aint makin those silly mistakes anymore, obviously, ur gonna make mistakes every now-and-then, everyone does, dont worry, im sure you'll do fine.
my mates hav got an instructor who does tht, like, when they do something rong, he'd be like, thts u just failed ur test. and theyre like, aw cheers for the confidence boost. lol. im sure its just his way of trying to get u to drive better lol.
anyway, good luck for your test!

haha, true. some lad at our school didn't fail when he went round a roundabout the wrong way apparently
I had some pretty sucky lessons to be honest, you just ride them out! Are you insured on another car, outside of lessons? That's where I used to really gain confidence, going out with Mum/Dad/Grandad/whoever, you find yourself a lot more comfortable than with an instructor! Then apply that to your actual lessons obviously...

tbh, if you pass to early you'll not have the experience of driving and will either crash or injure someone....
i passed after just 6 lessons, not good, nearly wrote my car off within a few moments going round aroundabout thinking i was the driftking, funny before i fucked the gearbox and nearly ended up in the hedge.
just be patient....
