Revealed: The simple trick that will help you to pass your driving test…

For anyone struggling to off-load their provisional licence – there is now a seriously handy tip that makes you far more likely to pass your test.

Yes, those who take to the roads in the morning are an incredible 50 percent more likely to be successful than those who take afternoon or evening tests.

And the same applies for exams and job interviews too.

Researchers from the Danish National Centre For Social Research attribute this difference to 'cognitive function' – aka your brain’s power to think and do.

To come up with their results, which were published in the academic journal PNAS, they looked at two million tests taken by schoolchildren aged 8-15 across a three year period.

And they found that results dipped 0.9 percent for each subsequent hour the papers were completed.

So students taking an exam at 3pm scored 54 per cent lower than those who took the same exam at 9am.

However, rather than resigning yourself to hibernating after lunch, the study also revealed that there are tips and tricks to better conquer brain fatigue – namely the art of the short nap.

Indeed, a rest of just 20-30 before taking your driving test would improve your chances of success by an average of 1.7 per cent.
