Your performance will be assessed and graded as one of four headings: Gold, Silver, Bronze and Fail. There will be an eyesight test at the start of the test and you will be expected to demonstrate all of the set exercises.
To achieve a Gold Grade you must accrue no more than three driver faults.
The test fee of £144 is payable by the ADI. The training establishment will then contact the ADI when a test appointment becomes available
