Getting ready for your ICBC road test doesn’t have to be stressful. With some practice, the right mindset, and good guidance, you can pass on your first try! At Actron Driving Academy, we help students in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and North Vancouver get ready for their road test with confidence.

The road test is an important step in becoming a safe and responsible driver. Our friendly instructors at Actron Driving Academy focus on teaching skills like parking, defensive driving, and handling real-world situations so that you feel prepared and ready to succeed.
Here are five simple tips to help you ace your ICBC road test:
1. Learn Defensive Driving
Defensive driving is all about staying safe and aware on the road. During your ICBC test, the examiner will watch how well you can:
Keep a safe distance from other cars.
Watch for possible dangers.
Follow traffic rules and signs correctly.
At Actron Driving Academy, we teach these skills in every lesson to help you feel confident in any driving situation.
2. Practice Parking and Turns
Parking and turns are important parts of the road test. Be sure to practice:
Parallel parking.
Backing into a parking spot.
Making smooth three-point turns.
Our instructors will guide you step by step so you can handle these moves easily by test day.
3. Drive on Different Roads
Even though ICBC doesn’t share exact test routes, it’s a good idea to practice driving in places like:
Quiet neighborhoods.
Busy intersections.
School zones and highways.
We make sure our lessons cover all these areas so you’re ready for whatever the test brings.
4. Stay Calm During the Test
Feeling nervous is normal, but staying calm can help you avoid mistakes. Try to:
Practice often to feel more confident.
Pretend you’re taking the test during practice sessions.
Take deep breaths if you start to feel anxious.
We also offer mock road tests that feel like the real thing to help you stay cool and focused.
5. Pick an ICBC-Approved Driving School
Choosing an ICBC-approved school means you’re getting top-quality lessons that follow strict standards. Actron Driving Academy is proud to be ICBC-approved. Check out the list of ICBC-approved schools here.
