Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 85 percent on a 40-question signs, signals and core-rules self-test without referring to notes
Week 4: Complete a 50-question weighted mock exam; every incorrect answer is logged with the correct rule written beside it
Week 6: Recite the 15-offence penalties table and the 10-item parking checklist from memory with no more than two errors total
Week 8: Two timed full-length mock exams both at 90 percent or above, with no repeated error category across the two attempts
