Mock Test
A mock test can help you understand how well you do when you’re driving without help from your driving instructor. This gives you and your instructor a list of things you can work on in the run-up to your test. Then you’ll be in a much better position to show the driving examiner how good and safe a driver you are.
Taking a mock test can help you to:
- Learn how the driving test works
- Understand how faults are assessed
- Understand how any mistakes you make would affect test result
- Practise managing nerves when driving in a different environment
When to use mock tests
Use mock tests when you can consistently drive safely without any prompting.
You can choose to either:
- Carry out the mock test with your own driving instructor who will play the role of the driving examiner.
- or we will arrange for another driving instructor to carry out the mock test with you.
Note
The emergency stop may not be included in your pupil’s actual driving test - it’s used in 1 in 3 tests.
What your mock test should included?
The mock test should take about 40 minutes and include everything covered during a normal driving test. This includes:
- checking your pupil’s driving licence
- an eyesight check
- ‘show me, tell me’ vehicle safety questions
- general driving ability
- reversing the car
- independent driving
- emergency stop
- giving the test result and feedback
Note
1 out of 5 real driving tests ask candidates to follow traffic signs, so you should make sure you have mock test routes which also use traffic signs.
