Show me? Tell Me?

 

During your practical test you will be asked one 'Show me' & one 'Tell me' question regarding maintainance of your car and safety checks. The 'Show me' question will involve you showing the examiner how what they ask is carried out and the 'Tell Me'  requires you to explain an answer to a question. There is no way to know exactly what you will be asked on the day but below are the 'Show me'/'Tell me' questions that examiners use. All of these are useful to learn to help with knowledge about your car and also to prepare for your test.
