quality of your instruction. The test will be in two parts each of which will last half an hour. For each of the two phases, the supervising examiner will
portray two different pupils at different stages of their training.
The examiner will select two of the following scenarios on the pre set test
*A novice pupil or a partly trained pupil * A pupil who has a test approaching * A qualified driver undertaking driving development

The grading is as follows:
A grade four is the pass bench mark which is considered acceptable.
Three or below is considered as unsuccessful. On the part 3 you will be graded on each of the two phases so to pass you will need a minimum of a 4/4. If
you were to receive a 6/3 for example, then that would be unsuccessful.
