yep, don't just do it, be seen to be doing it. The head movements I mean.

Their trading costs £120k which they have to fund themselves?

You've clearly recognised the errors either as they were happening or after and that's the route to success.
You will get there, and I shall look forward to reading your report next week.

A few days defragging the ol' peanut and you'll be good to go.

You should be well prepared for next week, take it easy this week and go into the test fully refreshed and I think you will pass with flying colours.

One thing I remember from my car driving instructor in 1970, was to always move your head when looking in mirrors.
During the test, this makes it obvious to the examiners that you are using the mirrors AND when driving afterwards it helps to reduce neck ache on a long journey that can otherwise occur by just moving your eyes to look in mirrors.
I still do it now and find it works.

That was drilled into me. Good luck for next time...and an excellent idea to chill out beforehand.
I remember when I was struggling to be deemed OK to go solo when I learnt to fly a glider. Time after time after time, I'd screw something up on the landing. They tried everything...different instructor, different club, different type of launch. No change. So I stopped for several months (and in this time also landed a 747 many times without hitch on a CAA-approved flight simulator down at Virgin Airlines pilot training facility).
I went back to the club after those months 'rest' and first flight landed effortlessly. And the second time. My instructor was gobsmacked. He tried to break my concentration the third time. Landed effortlessly again. Let's go and have lunch, he said, then after that if you can still do it again, you're off on your own. And I did. And I went.
So...chill, retest, pass, Pinch
