well done. i cant reverse a trailer or love nor money, fortunately of the age not required to have to do this! i have a lorry which i can reverse for miles!!!
 
c+p what I wrote on another thread!- its all about doing it properly, checking trailer b4 hitching etc

I did 3x4 hour lessons at test was £540

I did a lesson on the friday, one on the monday and 3 hours or so before the test on wednesday.

1st lesson reversingand hitch/unhitch safely, 2nd drive about test routes, 3rd practice everything.

Test comprised of:
couple of car questions
reverse
emergency stop
road drive
unhitch
hitch

Pass!

I used the tutors car and small box trailer, I would advise this, she had the whole rectangle set out exactly at home (with a narrower garage!) and so you could tell all the points of turning to make note of. Also so you knew the trailer back was overhanging the hatched area on the reverse she knew with hers if you lined the mudguard up with the black line you were in the right place.

I think you do need the lessons to tell you what you are suppose to do and say and someone to shout at you about all the bad habits you have collected (like coasting up to roundabouts and not looking in mirrors constantly).
The vehicle you use for test must have an extra set of mirrors so that the examiner sees what you see.


On the reverse you are allowed 2 shunts forward, apparently 90% of tests take one, I did! it counts as a minor fault though. (I was slightly inhibited by nerves causing my left leg to shake uncontrollably- not great for clutch control
