The examiner will ask you several questions from a bank of 19 questions known as Show me and Tell me questions.

website to find out further details of the set of show me and tell me questionts and your instructor will provide you with a copy of the questions as part of your preparation for the test.

 

Once you have successful completed eye sight and show/tell questions you will be explained about the test and how long it will be approximately 40 minutes and you are allowed to repeat or ask examiner the directions of route.  It is then up to you to ensure you maintain safe standards of driving that you practiced with your instructor and when your return to the test center the examiner will ask you to switch off engine and then will provide a brief summary of the test and inform if you have passed or failed. 

 

Examiners decision is final and you can only appeal on the conduct of the test.  If you pass you are issued with pass certificate and both parts of your licence are retained and your  full UK licence will be sent to your home address.
