Seven days to go? How to measure where you stand, revise the right things, sort the logistics and arrive rested.
Start the week by running full mock exams for both tests under real time limits. The result shows where you actually stand against the pass marks of 48/65 and 34/46, and which subjects are dragging you down. Go by the numbers, not the feeling – it is easy to overrate subjects you enjoy and underrate the ones you avoid.
The last week is for sharpening, not for learning something entirely new. Spend the most time on legislation and on the subjects where the mocks showed the lowest scores, and repeat them at intervals over several days rather than all at once. Go back to the explanations for the questions you get wrong, so you understand the pattern behind the mistakes.
Confirm the time and place of the test, check that your ID is valid and plan your route to the driving test office with margin. Remember that you are photographed on site and should be there at least 30 minutes early. Having the logistics settled removes unnecessary stress on exam day.
Do a light revision of your weak subjects, but avoid panic studying late into the night – tiredness costs more in points than an extra hour of revision gains. Prioritise sleep and a calm evening. Rested time management in the exam beats one last desperate study session.
