Lastly, take the pressure off yourself. Don't make such a big deal out of it. Don't tell anyone when you're taking your next test. That'll load you up with pressure. When you get there, don't make passing the only option. It's not the end of the world if you fail, even if the new rules come in, there are options. Just try your best to chill. And don't over think all those positional manoeuvres etc. Safety first. You won't fail from not being in the perfect position all the time. So long as your ride is sensible and safe and you make your observations obvious, you have a good chance of passing.
Good luck.

Very well said. Definitely don't tell anyone when you have your test and take deep breaths throughout. It's not the end of the world, if it's your nerves letting you down which it more than likely is then there's only you who can stop them from affecting you so badly, a nervous rider is a dangerous rider and your examiner won't thank you for doing owt daft. On the same token, the examiners are so used to seeing the nerves take over that they will gloss over certain daft stuff you've done if you can remain calm and composed for the rest of the ride. Remember, just because you think you might have failed on one thing doesn't automatically mean you have so don't give up halfway through. If you did something daft within the first 5 minutes of the ride say, but an otherwise alright ride after then the examiner will likely forget or ignore it and put it down to nerves.
