SERU MOCK TEST PRACTICE
Each practice mock mixes multiple choice, reading-passage and missing-word items from across the handbook, with a practice score and a section breakdown. The mock length and timer are PassNote practice settings, and the practice target is not the official SERU pass mark.

LEARN FROM EVERY ANSWER
These SERU questions are original — written in our own words from the rules in the handbook, not copied from the handbook or from any test. Each question is checked by an independent reviewer that answers it without seeing the key, and by a separate source-based content review.

WHO IT IS FOR
- New PHV driver applicants preparing for the SERU assessment (sometimes called the PCO test)
- Drivers renewing a London PHV licence who need SERU practice
- Learners who want TfL handbook-based practice in clear British English

IMPORTANT
This app covers the PHV SERU assessment only. It does not cover the taxi (black cab) SERU, the topographical skills assessment or the English speaking and listening assessment. Questions are original practice items, not questions from the SERU assessment. Results show practice scores only and do not predict whether you will pass.

The SERU assessment is based on the PHV Driver's Handbook (Version 1.0). Where TfL has changed a rule since then, the app shows a dated note with a link to official TfL guidance. Always check current requirements with TfL before your assessment.
