Getting yourself prepared for the Test in Ballacolla

Preparing to pass the test is completely different from learning to drive. You should already have the vital driving skills and road safety knowledge in advance of filling out an application for the test. Pretest driver training is about comprehending the test itself and how you can beat it.
If the thoughts of sitting the driving test are too much to handle then you aren't the first to feel like this. We normally fear what we do not understand and the unknown. But with RSA School of Motoring there's no need to be scared.
Most instructors will keep providing you with driving lessons until they ‘think’ you are ready. Commonly they will bring you to do the test not truly knowing if you will pass or not. This is down to a complete lack of knowledge on how the driving tester perceives and grades you during the driving test. This is not how we do things. All our driving instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
We're not in the business of gambling on your success. Our pretest driving lessons fully reproduce the Four different stages of the test and truly prepares you for the way the driving tester will communicate with you and how they mark the test sheet.
When we share this knowledge and understanding with our pupils it is like providing them with each of the answers to an examination before they even know the questions. Which is why a great number of our students pass the driving test first time. Beating the driving test fast means you save money.
