Built for the current exam

Practice that matches the real test format

Our mock tests are laid out like the real SERU assessment, so nothing on the day is a surprise. You get the same question types, a countdown timer, a flag and review screen, and instant marking. We keep the questions in line with the current format, so you are practising what you will actually sit, not an old version.

Also need Topographical?

The Topographical test now uses a new map

The Topographical Skills Assessment no longer uses the London A to Z. It now uses a topographical reference map with its own symbols. If you need this test as well, we run small group Topographical training on the current format, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Before the day

Know exactly what happens on exam day

Most drivers who fail knew the material. What caught them out was the day itself: the assessment centre, the ID check, the timer, the order to sit the three exams, and how each one is marked.

We have written it all down from what we see with the drivers we train, so nothing on the day is a surprise.

Read our exam day guide

Covered in the guide

  • Where the assessment centre is and how to book
  • What ID to bring, and what gets people turned away
  • Checking in, lockers, phones and the exam floor
  • The order we recommend sitting the three exams
  • How SERU and Topographical are marked
  • Results, passing and how resits work
