Just tell the truth. A lot of people dont believe in the Poly but from my past experience it is very accurate. On my last poly I got through with flying colors. They are looking for honesty. Its nothing to be worried about. That will just cause excess anxiety. They are also looking how you react. Even if you are telling 100% truth but you are jumpy, they will be suspicious. They will ask you if there is anything you would like to get off your chest that you might have missed in the interview booklet you probably already filled out and gave to the examiner. This is a good time to let them know anything you might want to hide. If something comes out during the test, that is not good. Besides, you shouldnt lie or hide anything anyway. This is Law Enforcment!

Go in and slap the examiner right in the face... let him know immediately who is in charge (sorry, couldn't resist :D ). Whether you deem it as useful or not, telling you to be honest is the best advice available. Not sure what else you wanted people to say here, so I'll throw this out as well:

*Get a good night sleep the night before
*Dress to impress (i.e. a suit or at least a coat and tie)
*Make good eye contact with the examiner
*Answer only "yes" or "no" (don't shake your head like I did)
*Eat a good meal before hand (you don't know how long it will take)
*Be sure to bring your drivers license (though you shouldn't be driving w/o it to begin with)
*And above all, don't hold anything back when he asks you questions about your past transgressions (it will cost you if you try to hide anything)

Best of luck to you.
