ADI Part 3 Test Tips

1) The Part 3 Test is what all your studying has been for...

You passed the theory, hazard perception test and test of driving ability to get to where you are now. You need to draw on all of that knowledge to help pass the part 3 test. Any questions the pupil might ask about road signs or laws will come from your Part 1 test. You will spot any mistakes your pupil makes while driving by comparing it to your Part 2 drive.

2) On your Part 3 Test, to teach complex subjects, ask the pupil to pull over...

That way you're demonstrating control of the lesson and will have the pupil's complete attention. Also, you will be able to show visuals to help clarify what you are teaching. But use some common sense - don't continually pull the pupil over!

3) Get your teaching aids ready before the test...

Don't leave your preparation until the last minute. Anything you need to use for teaching should be at hand and well organised. Not being able to find what you want during the part 3 test can lead to panic and will also look unprofessional.

4) Don't book any lessons on the day of your ADI Part 3 Test...

You should be concentrating on your Part 3 Test 100%. You don't want to arrive at the test centre in a rush. Also, if the worst happens and you fail, you won't feel like teaching anyone after the test.

5) Know the roads around the test centre...

Getting to know the roads near the test centre is very helpful and can help eliminate surprises. PDI's have failed their part 3 test on the road outside the test centre because they didn't Q&A any potential situations that may arise e.g. there might be cars parked along the road outside the test centre!
