The duration of the test specified here applies to the test itself (oral test, plane exercises and roadworthiness test (road driving) - 11 as appropriate, plus a review of the result of the test with the candidate). The preparation and presentation for the examination may not be counted as part of the examination duration. In organising examinations, time shall be taken into account for this and possibly other aspects. The organisation and conduct of examinations is very difficult and sensitive and may never be performed as anchoring work.
Examiners shall record on the record sheets of the practical tests the start and the end of the driving period, i.e. the time of ramp and end of driving.
