You should be able to drive safely and independently, manage unfamiliar situations, perform the required manoeuvres and show consistent test-standard decisions. Mock-test performance can help assess readiness.

This depends on the instructor agreeing that you are test-ready, the vehicle being available and the test-day booking terms. Confirm the lesson, vehicle-use and waiting-time charges before the test.
