Mock Driving Test

Once you feel that your driving has reached the standard required to pass the practical test, you might want to consider a mock test. This basically mirrors what will happen on the day of your actual driving test. If you were to book a mock test at Mill Hill, then it will usually start from the car park of the official practical test center.  

The mock test will start in exactly the same way as an examiner would start the test. It will last for approximately 35 to 40 minutes just like the real test and include one reverse maneuver and the independent drive. You will be taken on roundabouts, possibly the A406 dual carriageway, several residential roads to give you an opportunity to deal with meeting situations and mini-roundabouts.  The instructor will not help you unless it was a real safety issue.

You may feel nervous or even anxious before your practical driving test but this is natural as many learner drivers do not know what to expect and doubt whether they are fully prepared. However, if you took a mock test at Mill Hill, this will prepare you for your real driving test as you would have driven under the exact conditions during your mock test.

The main objective of your mock driving test is to assess your driving ability strict DVSA under test conditions. As with your actual test, your instructor will take you on the roads around the Mill Hill test center, which you may be familiar with if you have been taking regular driving lessons in the area. They will make sure to incorporate a variety of road types, including multilane roundabouts and mini-roundabouts, dual carriageways tricky one-way systems. You’ll likely be taken through busy urban areas and quieter residential estates for the reverse maneuvers and the emergency stop.

At the end of your mock driving test at Mill Hill, you will be given the result. Your driving instructor will tell you whether you would have passed or failed if it was a genuine test. However, it is important to remember that the mock test is a part of the process of preparing you for your actual test so the result is unimportant. Do not take the result too seriously. A mock driving test can help you to settle your nerves, get used to the test format, and figure out your strengths and weakness. However, it is not the real thing, and passing a mock driving test at Isleworth will not guarantee you will pass the actual test.
