Practice the routes you use to reach Bury test centre, as the short distance means exam roads are familiar from lessons. Spend time on junctions and town-centre manoeuvres, because those often feature in the test. Try lessons at different times of day to master rush-hour traffic near the town centre. Build confidence on tight residential streets and practise pulling away on short inclines.
