After a disastrous and particularly stressful experience at another test centre where the examiner was thoroughly unpleasant and off-putting, I decided to change and go to Skipton for my 2nd test. Sadly, I didn't pass, but that was my fault and the examiner was very calm, polite, professional and I understood why he made the decision that he did. The feedback I received here was very helpful and I was able to use that to improve my driving.
I rebooked at Skipton again and passed on my second attempt (third overall) with 2 minors. On both tests, I had different examiners but both were very professional and although I was very nervous, I couldn't fault them at all. I would highly recommend booking your test at Skipton,
