I sort of agree but I think it should be a choice. Either do it all together, or book them separately. Otherwise it’s creating more bother for the candidate, especially if they are travelling in.
Definitely split then you can have more training if you fail one sectionand concentrate more on that eg reversing
Just my thoughts but now I’ve passed c+e the reversing for test doesn’t prepare you well enough for revesring in the real world . The driving bit is the easy part and the bit most concentrated on but reversing for the test is fine to pass the test but it would be better if trainers could do a bit more eg reversing around corners . Maybe after the test an extra days training should be part of the course giving you different reversing into the coned bay . Maybe a 2 part test could have 2 types of reversing eg the existing reverse and a tighter reverse .
