On the marking sheet

Every centre in Grantown-on-Spey marks the same sheet, so the choice between them counts for less than whether control, steering is solid. There are 15 categories on that sheet.

Take control, steering. Pull-push steering technique not consolidated; gripping the wheel at the top rather than 9-and-3; late turn-in because of looking too close to the front of the car. Most of the argument about what is a minor and what is a serious comes down to cases like that one, so it is worth knowing which side of the line yours falls on before an examiner decides it for you.

Look further ahead. Practise pull-push on a quiet residential loop with a continuous commentary. never steer while stationary; always inch forward first. Free to use, no sign up. Everything for the day itself is on the practical test hub.
