    Yep great feeling. And im pretty sure the RSA will be changing the test procedure again at some stage with added hoops to jump through and extra dosh so its good to have it done and dusted.

    Most do's and donts are covered on other threads. Might not make sence but I went for the test expecting to fail. It kind of gave me a gun ho attitude which actually relaxed me for the test. Alot of testers are very formal and dont chit chat so just keep it to yes sir no sir type conversation. The last thing a tester wants is a cocky yapping client. And I suppose you can never life saver enough when changing lanes and so on. My 2 grade 2 fails where a safety glance mid u turn and failure to safety glance when 2 lanes merged into one.
