Every test centre has a set of approved routes. Here's whether knowing them in advance actually helps.
Many learners spend significant time trying to memorise their test centre's exact routes. Whether this is the best use of preparation time is worth examining.
Each DVSA test centre has a set of approved routes, created and reviewed by senior examiners. The routes cover a representative range of road types — residential streets, busy A roads, roundabouts, junctions, town centres. The examiner picks from these routes but isn't obligated to follow the exact route if conditions change (diversions, incidents).
