ADI instructional test.
The third - and final - part of the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) qualifying examination will assess your ability to give effective instruction.
To stand the best chance of passing, you'll need to be thoroughly prepared. You have only three attempts, which means good preparation is essential.

What you'll be tested on in part three of the Approved Driving Instructor test
The third part of the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) examination assesses:
- The quality of your instruction
- Your ability to pass your knowledge on to pupils
The test is in two parts - each of which lasts about half an hour. You will be asked to show your knowledge and ability by giving practical instruction to the examiner, who will play the role of a pupil.
The examiner will play two of the following roles:
- A beginner or partly trained pupil
- A pupil who is about test standard
- A qualified driver taking driver development training
For each of the two roles, the examiner will choose a test that includes a preset combination of two of these exercises:
- Safety precautions on entering the car, and explanation of the controls
- Moving off and making normal stops
- Driving the vehicle backwards and while so doing entering limited openings to the right or left
- Turning the vehicle round in the road to face the opposite direction, using forward and reverse gears
- Parking close to the kerb, using reverse gears
- Practical instruction in how to use mirrors and how to make an emergency stop
- Approaching and turning corners
- Judgement of speed and general road positioning
- Dealing with coming out onto T-junctions
- Dealing with all aspects of crossroads
- Dealing with pedestrian crossings and giving appropriate signals by using your indicator and your arm in a clear and unmistakable manner
- Meeting, crossing the path of and overtaking other vehicles, including allowing enough clearance to include following distance for other road users
It is essential that you understand what this test calls for. You should listen very carefully when the examiner explains what is needed for each part. If you don't understand, you should ask the examiner to repeat the explanation. Bear in mind that during the exercises the examiner is acting as a pupil with various levels of experience.
A supervising officer may also sit in on the test. They are there to check the examiner - not you. They will not have any say in how your test is carried out, or in the result.
The examiner will assess you based on:
- The method you choose to give instruction
- How accurate and clear you are on the subject you have been asked to cover
- How well your instruction fits the ability of the 'pupil' during each phase

Instructional techniques you must show in part three of the Approved Driving Instructor test
During part three of the Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) examination, the examiner will assess you in the following areas to see how you plan and give instruction in the exam subject matter for each phase of the test.
Grading the level of instruction
Your instruction must be flexible, and match the ability and experience of the 'pupil' the examiner is playing. A common reason for failing the test is not being able to adjust your level of instruction so that it's right for the 'pupil'.
Planning your lesson
You need to structure and present the lesson in an orderly way - following a clear and logical pattern. You should think about how much time to spend on theory and practice, bearing in mind the subject matter you have to cover.
Controlling the lesson
Your directions while your 'pupil' is driving and your instruction must be clear and concise. You must speak in good time - neither too early or too late. You must also take into account the current road and traffic conditions.
At all times, you must be aware of what is happening inside and outside the vehicle so you can keep control of the lesson and stop your pupil from getting into potentially dangerous situations.
Communicating with the pupil
The language you use must be clear and easily understood. You should try to avoid technical terms and jargon where you can. If you need to use technical terms, you must make sure that the pupil understands them.
You will need to recognise any change in a pupil's body language or facial expression which could show that they do not understand or see the point of what you have tried to cover.
Asking questions
At suitable points throughout, you should ask the 'pupil' questions to reinforce their learning and meet your intended aims for the lesson. Ideally, you should make your questions well defined, reasonable and relevant, and ask them simply and clearly.
Giving feedback and encouragement
During the test - when you've asked a question - you must listen carefully to the 'pupil's' answer and correct any misunderstandings and incorrect answers. You should answer a pupil's questions at a suitable time and give all the information they need clearly and accurately.
Feedback is necessary for you to judge how well the 'pupil' is doing. The 'pupil' should be encouraged and congratulated if they deserve it. The feedback you give at the end of each phase should be a summary of the 'pupil's' strengths and any weaknesses that need more work.
Using the driver-operated controls
You should only use any driver-operated control when you really have to get involved. You should tell the 'pupil' immediately why you used them.
Although you must not use the dual controls to control the 'pupil' all - or most of the time - sometimes you can use the controls as an effective aid during training.
