My instructor had me practising the actual test routes from the Hoxton test centre for about three weeks before my test. We covered every possible variation, including the tricky bits around Kingsland Road and the one-way systems. By test day, nothing felt unfamiliar or daunting. I recognised nearly every turn and junction, which kept my nerves completely in check. Passed first time with only two minors. Knowing the routes properly made all the difference.

I failed my first test at the local centre because my observations were awful, especially at roundabouts. I was gutted. My instructor at Rated Driving didn't sugarcoat it but really drilled into me what I was missing. We spent ages on the Old Street roundabout and around Kingsland Road just practising proper head checks and mirror work. He helped me understand why I was doing it, not just going through the motions. Second time, I passed with only three minors. Proper relieved.

Massive thanks to my instructor at Rated Driving. Their calm teaching style made such a difference, especially around the tricky junctions near Old Street. Clear instructions every time and knew exactly what the test centre expected. Passed first time and can't recommend them enough!
