Driving test day checklist

Everything to bring, check and remember on the day of your practical test.

Bring

  • Your UK photocard provisional driving licence.
  • Glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive.
  • A suitable car — we can provide an SQ car for your test.

The test itself

  • Eyesight check: read a number plate from 20 metres.
  • Tell me question before you drive, and a show me question while driving.
  • About 40 minutes of driving, including about 20 minutes of independent driving following a sat-nav or road signs.
  • One reversing manoeuvre, and possibly an emergency stop.
  • Up to 15 driving faults and no serious or dangerous faults to pass.

On the day

  • Book a warm-up lesson with us beforehand.
  • Arrive at the test centre early.
  • If you make a mistake, keep calm and keep going — one error doesn't mean you've failed.

Use our readiness checker and your portal checklist to know you're ready before you book.
