Congrats, just Mod 2 to go. I was in your shoes almost 2 years ago now.
I was told with regards to Mod 2 that the examiners like to see you make progress, my instructor (toungue slightly in cheek) reckons I passed within the first couple of minutes because we left the test centre (Herne Bay) and went straight on the the dual carriageway, I came off the acceleration lane just as a lorry had passed, a gave a good life saver, straight out in the overtaking lane and overtook him! Apparently that's how to get on the good side of the examiner!
Practice hill starts and pulling out from being parked up behind a parked car.
Ride confidently with good lifesavers and great road positioning, especially at junctions and you'll be fine!
