About this test centre

Chilwell test centre covers South Nottingham and the Beeston area, with routes that mix the A52 Brian Clough Way dual carriageway with quieter, leafy residential roads around Chilwell itself. The contrast between fast A-road sections and tight suburban streets within the same test is the main thing to prepare for.

Tips for passing at this centre

  • ✓ Practise switching quickly between A-road speed and 20mph residential zones — the test alternates between them
  • ✓ Beeston town centre gets congested around lunchtime; factor this into when you book
  • ✓ The narrow lanes near Attenborough require confident judgement around oncoming traffic — don't skip this practice
