    Hi , I'm about to book the psv test for a taxi in cork city. I have the official psv manual to learn the relevant knowledge about the industry etc. But I was wondering what I should use to learn for "area knowledge" section? Anybody able to give me an example of what type of questions to expect in the area knowledge section? any tips/info would be much appreciated

    Years back (10 ish) they'd ask you the stuff like the shortest route from the train station to the University Hospital etc etc. Even back then loads of folk who didn't have a clue got one no bother, it's not a recent occurence despite what some people maintain.

    Best of luck.

    cheers bud, its a bit of a joke that you can't get a cd-rom with practice tests, like you can for the theory tests for other licences....
    I take it that your allowed use a map book for when doing the shortest group section?

    Years ago you couldn't, hence why it was a knowledge test ;) 'twas a verbal exam back then though.
    Dunno if it's changed or not, I would imagine not, it's not an orienteering test after all.
