Greenford Test Route

Greenford Test Pass Rates

Learner drivers always like to know how other people do on their test. It’s understandable. If we pass and it’s above the norm, then we can brag about it. If we fail, and it’s no different from the usual trends, then it’s not as bad. For learners in the UK, the odds stand at 45.9%. If we’re narrowing it down to Greater London, your chances decrease to 40.8%. As for those at Greenford test centre, look below...

For the most part, Greenford test centre seems to stick close to the average pass rate for Greater London, which isn’t too bad. Still worried? Ask your instructor to take you on a difficult route or a mock test—it will give you the chance to get a glimpse of what the practical might be like.

What To Expect On The Day

So you’ve mastered all the driving skills you could possibly need for your practical test. Now, you’ve got one final hurdle before you become a fully qualified driver. On the day of your test, you need to arrive at the centre 10 minutes early and remember to bring your provisional. The practical will then proceed with: 

• An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
• Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
• Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
  • Parallel parking
  • Bay parking
  • Pulling up on the right
• Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination

Once you get back to Greenford test centre, the examiner will ask you to park and turn off the ignition. They will then tell you your result. You'll be handed a feedback sheet—detailing any driving test faults you may or may not have accumulated—regardless of the outcome. If you're successful, you'll also be handed your very own test pass certificate.
