Hi, I have just enrolled in the driving school and got all my books in english. In the class room I have 59 tests in english, but I would like to do those tests at home as well. Does anybody know where i can find spanish driving tests in english in internet. In my driving school they adviced me only in spanish language :-(

By the way, apparently in the tests I am doing in the school there was autotranslator used. So many grammatical mistakes, sometimes I didnt get a meaning. For long I was confused about words “moped”, “lane” (“line”), plus missing letters, incorrect sentences - disaster! 😊

Yes, I am also needing English and in a Madrid driving school and the red, ?quick guide? they gave me is full of errors. I hope the test is not like this. My school said they didnt have English questions on the net, but they did in the driving school computers. Maybe its the same in your case. Does your driving school have a lab where people could study the questions?

Yes, there is a lab in my school and the tests are full of errors, though printed tests (according to the themes in the book) seem okay. I really hope in exam there will be version with no mistakes, because sometimes the error changes the meaning completely

WHO HAD EXAMINATION TEST IN ENGLISH? HOW WAS IT? WERE THERE MANY GRAMATICAL, STYLISTICAL MISTAKES?
In the practice tests I am doing now in my autoschool,sometimes its just impossible to understand! I broke my head thinking what is “slow motion” and it turned to be “idle speed”, which was translated to spanish as “slow motion”
