Mock Driving Test in Plaistow — Quick Facts
Practising the Barking Routes from Plaistow
Getting from Plaistow to Barking is part of the training. You'll rehearse the approach via Greengate Street, then the routes examiners actually use.
The examiner's favourites: expect brisk joins onto the A124 Longbridge Road and Ripple Road, fast A13 slip-roads, and the multi-lane Gascoigne Road gyratory before threading the narrow one-way grids near Barking Market.
By test day you'll have driven these roads out from Plaistow enough times that the A124 Barking Road and the centre's routes feel like one continuous patch you know well.
A Full Test Rehearsal
A mock test answers the one question every learner asks before the real thing: am I actually ready? Marked to the official DVSA standard, it shows you precisely where you stand with no guesswork. In Plaistow, that means putting those skills straight to work on roads like Greengate Street.
Lesson Pick-Up Across Plaistow
Pick-up is available right across E13 — from Plaistow and Upton Park and the surrounding streets. Just tell us what's convenient and we'll build your lessons around it.
Inside a Mock Test in Plaistow
In Plaistow (E13), the practical picture looks like this:
The real value is in the debrief. We go through every mark, show you exactly where the former Roman road through Plaistow (the A112) and the busy A124 Barking Road linking Canning Town to East Ham caught you out, and turn each weak point into a short, specific plan before your actual test.
Our mock test mirrors the real Barking test exactly, marked to the official DVSA sheet so you know precisely where you stand:
- an eyesight check and two 'show me, tell me' questions
- one of the four possible manoeuvres
- around 20 minutes of independent driving on a sat-nav
- faults logged as minor, serious or dangerous — a pass means zero serious or dangerous and 15 or fewer minors

Where You'll Take Your Test
When you're ready, you'll most likely sit your test at Barking (84 Tanner Street, Barking). Its routes typically take in the A13, the A406 North Circular and the A124 Longbridge Road, so we make sure you're comfortable with a large multi-lane, multi-exit roundabout right by the centre and the Gascoigne Road, Abbey Road and Ripple Road roundabouts long before the day. Because we teach here constantly, we know which manoeuvres and junctions examiners return to. Some Plaistow learners test at Goodmayes instead, and we cover those routes too.
We'd rather you sat the test once, ready, than twice. Your instructor will tell you plainly when your driving around Plaistow and the Barking routes is at the standard examiners want.
