    Hi first think the examiner will ring you and ask you about five covid 19 questions reply no to all of them... Then you will be asked if your an essential worker reply yes and i said i work for a transport company as a forklift driver... Then your invited to building where your asked road signs and i was asked how far would you place a warning triangle.. I said depends on kind of road as distance differs so said 50 metres.. Then your going to do reversing in compound remember threat it as a road SIGNAL when moving off keep to the left half way passing turning SIGNAL right move over just pass turn... HAZARD on.. You reverse both sides.. Remember just relax and do as you where taught.. Not sure about cpc walk around as did mine 6 days after my test.. This is how it went for me.. Got into cab asked me 20 questions which you should have studied... Then asked where is first aid, taco card goes you point them out... Wipers switch them on.. Then out you go lift bonnet point out what he asks oil, washer rad.. Then you are asked from there checks you do on a walk around... Lights no cracks clean, windscreen so on.. Then walk down the side pointing out checks tyres nuts so on till you reach the rear of vehicle... Best of luck. Pm me if you need anything else.
