yer same I did my test early last year, and it was quite easy, the guy i did my lessons with new the test route soem how so every lesson, would just go do that, and when it came to the test it was quite...well easy, my 25hrs came up very quick, as i drove to training and back from claremont (is 25mins from mien) and so that was 50mins nearly 3-4times a week,
then the HPT, it was quite easy, and it is very hard to fail, you actually have to be very stupid to fail this (but i no someone who did) and well at the end they just give you a print up of what you should practise more of, now that you have got your license
so preety straight forward, good luck.
