Mock Tests in Podsmead

FAQ
Bring your provisional driving licence and glasses or contact lenses if you need them for driving — the same things you'd need on real test day. Your instructor provides the dual-control car, so there's nothing else to organise.
If you already have a test date, a mock test in the days or weeks beforehand is one of the most effective preparations you can do. It's also ideal if you're deciding whether you're ready to book your test, or if you've failed before and want an honest assessment before paying for another attempt.
The session runs as close to a real DVSA test as possible. Your instructor directs you along a pre-planned route on varied local roads and assesses your driving in silence, just as an examiner would. That covers general road driving, independent driving, junctions and roundabouts, manoeuvres, speed awareness, lane discipline, observation, and planning. Afterwards you get a full debrief.
As realistic as we can make it. Your instructor stays silent during the drive except for directions, records faults on the same basis a DVSA examiner would, and includes independent driving. Learners regularly tell us the mock felt harder than the real test at Gloucester — which is exactly the point.
Both. When you book your mock driving test in Podsmead, choose manual or automatic and we'll match you with an instructor with the right car. The assessment itself is identical either way.
