all you half to do is focus on the two lines that you have to park in the middle of and the cars on the other side of the lines line it all up and park it    

 p.s. good luck with your driving test

There are two ways to reverse bay park. one is when you drive past your bay, like two bays away, then reverse and steer in.
Other method which is what I use is that when you have chosen your bay drive towards it with a half a meter side distance between the car and bay entrance, then:
A-) if the bay is on your side:
1-)stop when the second bay line runs through (imagine) your body.
2-) steer left quickly as you slowly push the gas. this way your car angles to left. stop when that second line runs in the middle of your rear passenger window.
3-) put car in reverse and steer right quickly as you slowly continue to reverse the car.
4-) stop reversing when the car is straight (parallel to bay lines) and straighten your steering wheel.
5-) if your distance is ok from the sides then just reverse atraight back in otherwise put it in first and move forward and correct your side to sode position. remember to have all around observation and make use of your rear and side mirrors as well as moving head around.
B-) if the bay is on your car's left side:
1-) stop when the second bay line is running through you.
2-) steer right and move untill the second line is in your left side rear passenger's little window which is that little window that is just behind the rear passenger window. if you don't have one then stop when the line just disappears from the leftside rear passengers window.
3-)put car in reverse and as you slowly move backwards turn your steering wheel to the left quickly.
4-) when the car is straight, straighten your steering wheel so that your tyres are also straight then just reverse back.

note that while your front two tyres are outside the bay you are allowed to move forward and correct your position and reverse back in again so use this opportunity. also do drop down your window to check lines properly.

Good luck.
