Firstly i'm 22 had my licence for 5 years (also have full bike licence but not interested in that yet), some may think i'm a little young/inexperianced to do the advanced test but its something i'm really interested in. I have looked around various websites including the IAM website and i THINK this would be the best route for me to go down (??), my questions are about the test itself really; What is the marking criteria for the test? is it like the learner test using minor marks etc, or is their no exact criteria and its down to the observors discretion? Do you take the test at a DVLA test center?? and finally is their a required amount of 'lessons' or observed hours that must be taken before being able to take the test? Sorry for the essay and the basic questions but any help is appreciated. Thanks alot, Craig

I am not really in a rush to complete the test, i think i would rather take my time, read the book/highway code etc and do it that way. I have followed the links posted and again found more good information. I am based in the Liverpool/widnes are of the north west, does anybody know of any local(ish) groups to here or is there an online list anywhere? Also one final question about the test, is the actual test observed by a different observer/tutor than the person who has been 'teaching' you (for want of a better word) or do they double up as an examiner?? again sorry about the basic questions but i am slowly getting there. Thnaks, Craig
