Mock-test style driving, independent driving practice and focused work on the areas that still need to become consistent before test day.
Prepare for your test
Learn to drive — not just to scrape through a test.
Good lessons should give you the judgement and confidence to drive safely after the examiner gets out of the car. That means developing observation, planning, control and decision-making as well as test skills.
Lessons progress at a sensible pace, with clear feedback and time to practise the parts of driving you find hardest.
