Yea im alright on that, instructor said mirrors/observations were my strong point.
Weak point = been riding motorbikes on road for the last 8 years, so i kinda forget how big cars are! thats how i failed last time

Take your instructor in the car with you and get him to double mark the test. It might sound gay but the examiner can't then find excuses to fail you. As happened with me tooooo many times. I passed easily my worst test when I made my instructor double mark it.

Yeah i wondered why they asked you if you wanted your instructor in the car. she told me to say no to that question. probably the only half hour break she gets in the day! :

Don't pull out on anyone or get into a situation where you need to slam on the brakes.
insta fail
also keep a steady speed in traffic.

do you guys not do this as teenagers?
do you not have drivers education in high school when you're 14 or 15?
