I wasn&#8217;t actually focusing on the test, I was seeing past the test.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was like whatever, it&#8217;s just something I&#8217;ve got to do, I gotta look good for the gram.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>She continued &#8216;About a week before my fourth test, I was like, I care too much about the afterwards and I&#8217;m not in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I said to myself, you need to care less about what you look like on this test and more about what&#8217;s actually going to happen in this test.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All my friends tell me, you&#8217;ve gotta look hot, you&#8217;ve gotta make sure the examiner fancies you. Low key that might work for some people but that wasn&#8217;t me or my experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It didn&#8217;t help obviously, I failed three times. So I said to myself on my fourth test, I don&#8217;t even care what I look like. In fact, mentally I&#8217;m gonna prepare myself that I don&#8217;t even care if I don&#8217;t pass.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The TikToker said she hadn&#8217;t picked an outfit before and instead &#8216;woke up and picked a t-shirt up&#8217; off her bedroom floor that had &#8216;toothpaste marks on it&#8217; and &#8216;last night&#8217;s dinner.<\/p>\n<p>She continued &#8216;I put it on, I would never do this.

Obviously it&#8217;s more than a dirty top, it&#8217;s actually about what&#8217;s going on mentally &#8211; It really really helped for me and If you&#8217;ve got a test coming up I strongly recommend it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>She also went on to make another video, where she wrote &#8216;telling ALL my friends about the dirty top theory to pass your drivers test. It 100% worked for me and everyone I&#8217;ve told. I literally failed three times and tried this out and passed with two minors!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Commenters were divided on whether the &#8216;hack&#8217; was &#8216;so smart&#8217; or &#8216;a load of nonsense&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>One viewer wrote &#8216;I passed first time in the same dress I wore for my lesson night before. Just gave it a wash, must be a lucky dress&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Another said &#8216;ahh you know what this is so smart, I&#8217;m gonna give it a try,&#8217; while someone else added &#8216;wish i saw this about two hours ago before I failed my test&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Someone who put the hack into practice commented &#8216;Oi no joke it works,&#8217; to which the original poster replied &#8216;I\u2019m telling everyone and no one believes me. I\u2019ve had like 8 people tell me it works LOL&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However, not everyone was convinced, with one skeptical person saying &#8216;What a mind boggling concept. Focus on test to pass test&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Another chimed in with &#8216;What a load of nonsense&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bayu\u00a0Prihandito, a Certified Psychology Expert &amp; Life Coach said &#8216;We&#8217;ll all agree that practice remains the primary factor for successfully passing a driving test: the more familiar we are with a task, the easier it becomes, which helps reduce our stress and anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;However, even if &#8220;technically&#8221; well-prepared, when anxiety and overthinking get out of control, they can become significant barriers to performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s where our mindset and psychological state also play a pivotal role. In her case, wearing a dirty top acts as a cognitive distraction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;By wearing something she deemed as &#8216;dirty&#8217;, she effectively shifted her focus away from the anxiety of the driving test to something more trivial, which results in a more focused and calm approach to her driving test.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12592565\/Motorist-divides-opinion-claim-special-mind-trick-helped-pass-driving-test-fourth-attempt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorist divides opinion with claim her special mind trick helped her pass her driving test&#8230;
