Lessons were planned around the actual test routes, so nothing on the day was a surprise.

Spotted exactly why I kept stalling on hill starts and fixed it in one lesson. Calm the whole way through.

After a bad experience elsewhere I nearly gave up. The progress notes after each lesson made it feel doable.
