NSW Driving Test Score Sheet
The NSW Driving Test Score Sheet is used to record your score in the driving test. Because the driving test is an on road assessment you will need to show the testing officer from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) that you can drive safely. During the driving test your examiner will give you directions around a test track. Each test track consists of 25 zones of varying lengths designed to test you on various driving skills.
The best way to prepare for the driving test is to have professional driving lessons with a good driving school.
The above test sheet shows no (fail and immediate fail items) on the Left hand side.
On the right hand side under (Assessments) you can see the student made no mistakes. Giving the student a perfect score in the driving test.

Driving Test Assessments
In addition to having no fail items in the driving test you must also score a minimum of 90% in the second part of your test and this is scored in the section labelled “Assessments”. Therefore you need to minimise the number of mistakes you make in the section of the test. Because if you lose too many points you will not get the minimum 90% required to pass.
- Speed Management
- Road Position
- Decision Making
- Response to Hazard
- Vehicle control
If there is no hazard present then you will not need to respond. Therefore you will not be marked down for failing to respond to a hazard if there was no hazard to respond to.
