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 reflects what will happen on the day of your actual driving test. If you were to book a mock test at Southall, then it will usually start from Allenby Road, outside of the DVSA test.

The mock test will start in exactly the same way as an examiner would start the test with one “tell me question.”  You will cover varying speed limits ranging from 20 mph in the residential roads to possibly 70 mph on the A40 dual carriageway. The mock driving test will last for approximately 35 to 40 minutes just like the real test and include one reverse maneuver and the independent drive. The reverse maneuver may be conducted in the test center car park or alternatively, public road, or a supermarket car park.

By taking a mock driving test at Southall will help you become familiar with the DVSA practical test procedure. This, in turn, will help you feel more relaxed and increase your chances of passing your driving test.

The DTC driving instructor that will conduct your mock driving test will know exactly what happens on the DVSA practical test and will, therefore, be able to make it as realistic as possible.

You will meet the driving instructor at the Southall Driving Test Center on Allenby Road.  Your DTC driving instructor will mark you using the DL25 driving test report. This is the official driving test report which the driving examiner will use on your driving test. You may be asked to complete an eyesight test followed by a “tell me” question before you start the practical part of the driving test. You will be assessed on basic car controls, roundabouts, dual carriageway, and your ability to read road signs and road markings.

At the end of your mock driving test at Southall, you will be told 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. A mock test is ideal to figure out your strengths and weakness. If, for example, your instructor pulled you up on changing lanes then you simply focus on your lane changing on the build-up to your test. If you pass you mock driving test, it is important that you do not get overconfident as passing a mock test does not guarantee pass the actual test.

The price of the mock test in Southall is £120. This is a two-hour session. During the first hour, the instructor will conduct the mock test and the second hour will be used for the correction of mistakes, if any and to further improve your driving

If you’re at or near driving test standard then taking a mock test is a great way to find out how ready you are. The mock test will help you assess and identify any weaknesses in your driving and help t increase your chances of passing the practical test.
