The pass
The review, rated 5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, states a first-time pass with 3 minor faults, crediting instructor Asrar. The reviewer had reached out to Asrar at short notice after disappointment with previous driving instructors. No test centre, test date, or manual or automatic detail is stated, and none is claimed here — 14 October 2024 is the review date, not a claimed test date. No surname for Asrar is stated, and none is claimed.
What worked for them
In the reviewer's own words, the preparation "resulted in a first time pass with 3 minors faults". Asrar patiently took him through the required manoeuvres and held mock tests on different driving routes, was quick to identify his driving errors, and recommended videos before further mock tests to perfect the manoeuvres. No further detail about the test itself is given in the review, so no further account is claimed here.
Lesson for other learners
- Book only through the official GOV.UK driving test booking service, and only when your instructor agrees you are ready.
- Mock tests on different routes can expose the errors to fix before test day — ask your instructor to be plain about what still needs work.
