Mock Driving Test – Practice with a Former DVSA Examiner
If you’re preparing for your driving test, a realistic mock driving test in Leeds can make all the difference. I spent over five years working as a DVSA driving examiner, so I know exactly how the real test works — and how to help you feel ready.
This isn’t just a practice run. It’s a full, honest simulation of the real thing, designed to show you where you stand and what to focus on before test day.
What Happens During Your Mock Test
Your mock test will follow the same structure as the real practical test. I’ll explain how it works beforehand, then sit quietly during the drive and mark it just like an examiner would. At the end, I’ll go through everything with you and offer clear, calm feedback.
It includes:
- ✅ Independent driving section
- ✅ Manoeuvre and possible emergency stop
- ✅ Real-time marking (just like DVSA)
- ✅ End-of-test feedback and advice
Is a Mock Driving Test Right for You?
If your real test is coming up and you’re not sure if you’re ready — book a mock. It’s ideal if:
- ✅ You’ve done most of your training and want to check progress
- ✅ You’ve already failed and want to rebuild confidence
- ✅ You’re an instructor booking on behalf of a learner
Mock tests are suitable for any learner — not just my own pupils. In fact, instructors are welcome to refer their learners to me for a realistic mock test with independent feedback.
This approach is supported by the DVSA’s Ready to Pass? campaign, which recommends having a mock test with someone other than your usual instructor. It’s a great way to simulate test-day pressure and help your learner feel more prepared.

Why Book a Mock Driving Test?
Mock tests help you prepare not just for the drive — but for the pressure of the real thing. Most people fail because of nerves or not knowing what to expect. A mock test lets you experience the format, feedback, and silence of the actual day — without the pressure of losing your fee.
It’s also exactly what the DVSA recommends as part of their Ready to Pass? campaign. Mock tests reduce test-day stress and improve your chances of passing.
