    My test was as follows:

    1. Exit test centre
    2. Take right towards Dock Road roundabout
    3. Take 4th available exit towards Raheen
    4. Straight through small roundabout
    5. Come to Quinn's X roundabout and take first exit towards Father Russell Road.
    6. First exit at new mini roundabout (Russell's/Z-We-Ton)
    7. Did my three point turn in that estate. (Inis Lua)
    8. Out of there and back down to Quinn's X roundabout.
    9. This time I took first exit up towards Southcourt.
    10. Before Southcourt, took left into the Church Road and did hill start there.
    11. Up to Raheen Church, took LEFT turn straight down until junction with Meadowvale and Avonmore Road.
    12. Straight down passed the regional until Father Russell Road roundabout.
    13. First exit down Fr. Russell Road and left into Gouldavoher.
    14. Did my reverse around a corner and hand signals in there.
    15. Out of Gouldavoher and down Father Russell Road and back to the test centre.

    Other common places include Raheen Gardens, Meadowvale and The Grange and taking a left from the test centre out towards Mungret.

    I would book a lesson with an approved driving instructor, they know all the routes.

    Wait outside the Test Centre and stalk the Learners as they do their Test :).


    Really, I suppose your best option (as already mentioned) is to spend the €€€'s at least once and go for a lesson with an instructor
