    Just to clarify the rules of road section will be done in office then a few questions on pre service checks at the vehicle before actual driving test. The CPC test is a separate test after the driving test and is a Q&A on the dynamics of the vehicle in use and responsibilities of a driver in the working environment.

    Hey

    Test day goes something like this - You go to the test centre, tester will call you in to check licence and ask you a few questions on rules of the road. The you go out for a drive (about 1 hour). Then you're required to take a short break before your CPC Practical exam (I took about 5 mins just to get out of the truck and stretch my legs a bit). Then you do your CPC Practical, he'll ask you questions regarding different aspects of truck driving and you give a few answers to each one. You have to get out of the truck and physically point out some of them i.e your daily walkaround checks and any places people or drugs could be smuggled.

    Good luck with it, its not too bad, just try to relax on the day. All the answers for the CPC Practical are on the CPC exams topic here.

    Any other questions feel free to ask

    +1, That is exactly what will happen. just make sure to have all the stuff learnt off, your instructor should give you all the questions and answers to be learning. The tester will ask you maybe 15 different questions and make sure to know atleast 3 different answers
