What learners should know about Mitcham (London)

  • Mitcham (London) runs a tougher-than-average pass rate. If you've trained somewhere quieter, take at least 2-3 lessons on Mitcham test-area roads before your date. The difficulty is in the road mix, not the marking sheet.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Mitcham (London) area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
