Show me, tell me practice in East Kilbride

Every East Kilbride practical test opens with one 'tell me' question (answered before driving) and one 'show me' question (answered while driving). Getting both wrong is one minor fault — it won't fail you, but losing easy marks here is silly when the full list is published in advance.

Drilled before your Hamilton (used for EK pupils) test slot

The questions don't change. They're about washers, lights, brakes, oil, tyres, demister, horn — basic vehicle-safety knowledge any driver should have. Memorising the list is half a lesson, not a course.

What pupils usually mess up isn't knowing the answer — it's not being able to find the switch on the test car under pressure. We rehearse on the same car you'll test in.

Who this is for: All East Kilbride test candidates the week before their test.
