Day Of Learner's Licence Test

The applicant should arrive at the testing centre at least half an hour before the test starts and report at the relevant office.  (Note that sometimes the venue for writing the test might not be at the same address where the test appointment was made.  Be sure to confirm the address beforehand.)
