What to Expect at Barnet (London)
- Pass rate 49%, close to the national average of 47.9% — a fair test. Consistent preparation across all routes is what counts.
- Key roads to know: Raydean Rd, Great North Rd and Barnet Rd — these appear across the most routes and are the most likely to feature on your test.
- Route lengths range from 12 to 23 steps — practise all routes rather than focusing on one.
- 19 roundabout encounters across all routes — relatively few compared to many UK centres, but correct lane discipline still matters.
Tricky Spots on the Barnet (London) Test
Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.
1
Early Navigation on the Great North Road
All routes start with a turn onto Raydean Road and quickly lead to the busy Great North Road. Be prepared to judge gaps in traffic confidently and use your mirrors and signals clearly—it’s an early test of your road awareness under pressure.
2
Mastering Mini-Roundabouts and Crossroads
You’ll encounter multiple roundabouts and crossroads, especially around Stapleton Road and Barnet Gate Lane. Roundabout entries, right turns, and four-way junctions require clear lane positioning and calm decision-making—don't rush, and always check to your right.
3
Handling Residential Turns and Tight Roads
Streets like Queens Road, Granville Road, and Connaught Road are typical London residential areas with narrow spaces and parked cars. These sections will assess your control at junctions and awareness of oncoming traffic. Keep it slow and steady through tight bends and side roads.
4
Dual Carriageways and Slip Roads Practice
One route includes a short section on the Barnet Bypass with entry and exit via slip roads. This gives you a chance to show confidence in merging, maintaining appropriate speed, and reacting to fast-moving traffic—key skills for independent driving after the test.
Most Frequent Roads
