    Not sure if they have changed since last year when I did my test, but as far as I can remember 9 of the 10 routes are down by Waterford Crystal, Cork Road, Lisduggan, Hillview, Bunkers Hill kind of area (a lot of Lisduggan). There was one route which brought you out by Phil Grimes and up John's Hill, and down the Folly.

    Hope that helps. Maybe no harm in getting a few lessons with some of the instructors, get them to show you the routes and then record them with a Sat Nav.

    Get some pre test lessons and they'll go the routes.

    ive done the pre test lessons, but it was months ago, im not going to lie, im not too familiar with the areas i was brought, so im seeing if anyone can map them out for me and ill head out for a spin.

    Cheers.

    Same myself hoping to do the test start of October have 9-12 EDT's done but have done all my lessons in Dublin during the week.

    Don't fancy doing the test in Dublin (I'm in the Finglas test area up there) so doing it back home. Have my first lesson this evening back home so hoping to do all the routes like you said over the next few weeks.

    I passed my test on Monday. I had gotten a lesson with Anne Vereker last week, and one before the test. She went through a lot of the routes with me. It made a big difference, as there were some roads I had never been on before.
    Anne's number is 086 8843527 if you want.
