UK Practical Driving Test and My Experience

Driving Acronym and Driving Tips



Personal Experience and advice

- I booked around 30 to 40hours of practical class ( I want to drive a manual), which include a 3mocks exam
- I called to book a mock exam with other instructors, but none of them willing to take me. ( reason given: go with your own instructor).

- Book 10-20hours at once with the same instructor could save you money, as often they give discounts. 

-As an experienced driver, get an exam date first. I will advise go to an intensive class just the week before your exam date. (After covid, the booking date for the driving practice test could be backlogged up to 3-4months time). 

- Contact your denary or employer, if you are in need to drive for your work. Some of the denary to help to contact DVSA to get an early slot/date. This can help avoid you from purchasing 'booking apps' for it. 

- Book the exam place according to where you used to drive/ live (so that you can be familiar with the road condition). 

- If you are booking using apps, then just book any date that are available by using any place. Later, you could change its location of it as using the apps.

My NHS Interview Experience

An overview of NHS interview.   Usually, it starts with  introducing yourself (tell about your cv),  then clinical and ethics questions,  last Questions, and Answers.   Usually, each interview took 15-20mins time only .  You should be precise.  > Some interviews could email you beforehand and request you to prepare with a presentation/ teaching. Some interviews could be face to face.          *I received an invitation for an interview face to face.

This is my personal experience.  I feel lost at the beginning of this tunnel.  These articles aim to help IMG to figure out what to do, as an outline of reference.  The detail of trust or local induction will not be discussed here. Very important 1. Occupational health clearance -date will be given, take blood for hep, MMR, TB (IGRA) - varies with trust/ local policy - Most trusts allow the new starter to work only after the occupational clearance. Some trust does allow you to start the observation/ shadowing without it.  - The test takes one day (just go to take your blood), the appointment may take one week to book, the result could be out in 1 to 2week's time depending on trust.  Tips : Try to book as soon as possible. Make a plan for it.  2. Accommodation  My experience of first accommodation:  https://helenngjourney.blogspot.com/2022/03/first-accommodation-in-uk.html Tips : This is very important. You will need to have proof of address to pro...
