Get comfortable with short drives into Inverness since most tests are held there. Practise joining and leaving B-roads and minor trunk roads that connect Avoch to the town. Work on manoeuvres you can repeat close to home, then move to busier junctions as you build confidence. Expect changing weather, so include wet-road braking and visibility checks in lessons before test day. Time your trips to avoid peak commuting hours when possible.

When your instructor signs you off, book your practical test at Inverness (Seafield Road) or another nearby centre and use mock tests to build confidence.
