What to Expect at Brentwood (London)
- Roundabouts are a defining feature — averaging 4.3 per route. Route 8 is the most demanding with 8, including Brook St.
- Traffic lights feature heavily — Route 9 includes 7 sets. Approach speed, correct positioning and smooth pull-away are all assessed.
- 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: Junction Rd, London Rd and Warley Hill — these appear across the most routes and are the most likely to feature on your test.
- Relatively open routes — averaging just 11 turns per route. Speed management and smooth progress matter here as much as junction accuracy.
- Route lengths range from 16 to 27 steps — practise all routes rather than focusing on one.
Tricky Spots on the Brentwood (London) Test
Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.
1
Lane Discipline at A12
A12 is one of the key roundabout challenges on the Brentwood (London) test. Practise your approach so that lane choice feels automatic, and always check right before committing — giving way too late or pulling out too early are both marked faults.
2
Keeping Safe on A127
If you are practising for your Brentwood (London) test, make sure you spend time on A127. It features across most routes and asks for consistent mirror use, smooth speed management and awareness of pedestrians and junctions.
3
MSM Discipline on Athelstan Rd
Candidates are often caught out at Athelstan Rd by underestimating how much time they need to emerge safely. Slow down early, get a clear view of the road and only go when you are certain — a smooth, confident emerge beats a rushed one every time.
4
Handling the Brook St Roundabout
The Brook St roundabout appears with different exit requirements depending on which route you are on. Knowing your exit before you arrive is essential — late decisions lead to wrong lanes, missed signals and stressed driving that examiners notice immediately.
Most Frequent Roads
These roads appear across the most routes — be sure to practise them.
| Road | Routes | Frequency | Typical Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junction Rd | 14 / 16 | Straight ahead | |
| London Rd | 14 / 16 | Straight ahead | |
| Warley Hill | 12 / 16 | Left turn | |
| Brook St | 10 / 16 | Roundabout | |
| Crescent Rd / Kavanaghs Rd | 9 / 16 | Left turn | |
| West Park Hill | 8 / 16 | Left turn | |
| A12 | 7 / 16 | Roundabout | |
| Weald Rd | 7 / 16 | Right turn | |
| Westwood Ave | 7 / 16 | Right turn | |
| Hall Lane | 6 / 16 | Left turn |
