I found the simulated road test the most difficult bit simply because it is so false! You have to look around and wait for imaginary cars etc...:rolleyes:

same here the simulated bit was definatley the hardest, although I thought it was a relatively easy exam. I think you need to have at least 8 hours of qualified training before you take it. If that's not compulsory then it's definately advisable as the simulated road route is so fake. I had the joys of taking my R&RS exam on a nappy horse that also whinnied the whole way round and spooked at the most ridiculous of things! she got taken out after I'd ridden her!
It's good if you brush up on the highway code and get the BHS riding and road safety manual.
Good luck with the exam and just enjoy it! It's quite fun on the day :)
