Are these the official Kendal Test Centre driving test routes?
No — and no one has those. The DVSA withdrew its published test routes, so there is no current map of the route you will be given. Examiners at Kendal Test Centre work from a pool of routes over the surrounding roads and choose on the day. The 15 routes we hold here are real GPS traces recorded on tests at this test centre, which is the closest honest substitute: they show the roads examiners actually use.

Learn the local road character
Watch how the recorded routes behave: where they meet roundabouts, where they sit on dual carriageways, and which manoeuvres the geometry keeps asking for.

Move your lessons into the test area
In the final weeks, ask your instructor to run mock tests starting from Kendal Test Centre itself. It is the closest legitimate rehearsal of test day there is.
