It's much the same as the B test but you will be asked a few truck related questions.

When doing the test be on the alert for "take the next available right/left". That is usually an indication that the next actual right/left has a 3 tonne limit and therefore trucks are prohibited from entry.

AFAIK a medical certificate automatically includes an eyesight report. I don't ever recall doing an eyesight test outside of a doctor's surgery.

You'll have to go to the doctors for the medical cert, so why not bring along the eyesight report and get him to fill that out while you're there.. It shouldnt cost you anything extra.

as for tips;
Dont stray into cycle lanes,
Square every corner,
Watch the cerb on a near side corner,
Examiner may ask you Height & Lenght of Truck (he asked me)

if the road isnt wide enough for cycle and traffic lane ya have to go in to the cycle lane, sallins rd in naas a prime example and ya dont need an eyesight report just the medical and what do ya mean by square every corner
when i passed my test i wasnt asked any technical q's bout the truck, just the length width and height

There is a difference between a cycle lane and a cycle track. If the road is narrow, it should be a cycle track - not a lane.
