We're adding route guides for every major DVSA test centre across the UK.
The DVSA does not publish official test routes, but test examiners use a set of standard routes from each test centre. By practising on the roads around your test centre, you can familiarise yourself with the junctions, roundabouts, and hazards you are likely to encounter.
Yes — familiarity with the roads around your test centre significantly reduces test anxiety and helps you anticipate hazards. Learners who practise on test centre roads typically perform better than those who do not.
Most DVSA test centres use between 3 and 8 standard routes. The examiner selects the route on the day, so it is important to be familiar with all the roads in the area, not just one specific route.
Absolutely — this is one of the most valuable things your instructor can do in the run-up to your test. Ask them to take you on the roads around your test centre and point out any tricky spots.
Our instructors know every test centre route. We'll make sure you're fully prepared before test day.
