Every test centre has its own character — the tricky roundabout examiners favour, the dual-carriageway join, the residential maze for reverse parks. These guides map independent practice routes around each centre and show its published car pass rate, so you can rehearse the local roads before the day. Each centre page grades its routes from easy to demanding, so you can start gentle and build up.
