Work on junctions and roundabouts you will encounter when travelling to test centres. Expect some short rural stretches and town driving during a test, so practise observation and speed control. Book occasional lessons in Sevenoaks or Tunbridge Wells to get used to the exact test approaches. Time lessons to avoid peak commuter times when local routes get busier.

Look for an instructor who knows the local test routes around Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells. Ask about block discounts and whether they offer mock tests at the nearest centre.
