Key roads
- S Martin Luther King Jr. Dr – Dominating this mock route. this road is where most of the assessment happens. A long, straight stretch with several signals reward patience, rhythm, and good driving basics. Examiners will focus on your lane discipline, braking for lights, and whether you maintain a steady pace.
- E 111th St – This wide east–west arterial feels open but can be busy. It will test your awareness more than skill level: watch for turning traffic, manage your spacing, and stay alert to activity all around.
- S Wentworth Ave – One of the longer uninterrupted runs on this test route. This is all about prioritizing consistency over time. Holding your lane position, keeping a calm speed, and staying focused are what examiners look for here.
- W 95th St – A busy cross-route with heavier traffic and unavoidable signal changes. Anticipation matters most: easing off early, choosing the correct lane, and showing you can handle pressure without rushing.
