🏁 Preparing for Your ICBC Road Test in Richmond?
If you’re about to take your ICBC road test at the Richmond testing centre, the best way to ensure success is by booking a mock road test near Richmond before the real thing.
A mock road test replicates the actual ICBC testing process — same conditions, real routes, and professional scoring feedback — to help you understand what examiners expect and where you can improve.
At TASK Driving Academy, our ICBC-certified instructors know every corner of Richmond’s test routes, from No. 3 Road to Steveston Highway, so you can prepare in real-world conditions.
Here’s how to easily book your mock road test near Richmond and make your next test day a success. 🚦

1️⃣ Choose a Trusted Local Driving School
The Richmond testing area has unique traffic challenges — multi-lane intersections, pedestrian-heavy zones, and busy commercial roads.
That’s why choosing a local school like TASK Driving Academy gives you an advantage. Our instructors understand the Richmond ICBC test centre routes, including:
- Cambie Road intersections
- Garden City Road turns
- School and playground zones near Blundell
2️⃣ Take an Assessment Lesson First
Before your mock road test, we recommend a skill assessment lesson. This allows your instructor to evaluate your driving technique and pinpoint areas that may need attention — such as shoulder checks, lane positioning, or smooth braking.
3️⃣ Schedule the Mock Test at a Realistic Time
Try to schedule your mock test during peak Richmond hours (10 AM–3 PM) for a true-to-life experience. This helps you adapt to busier traffic and learn to manage nerves like on the actual ICBC test.
4️⃣ Drive Real Richmond Test Routes
During the mock road test, your instructor will guide you through actual ICBC Richmond test areas, including:
🚗 Left turns at No. 3 Road and Granville Ave
🛑 4-way stops near Garden City
🅿️ Parallel and reverse stall parking
⚠️ School zones near Anderson Elementary
5️⃣ Receive ICBC-Style Feedback
After your mock road test, you’ll receive detailed feedback just like an ICBC examiner’s sheet — covering every maneuver, turn, and habit.
✅ Your instructor will highlight:
- Minor vs. major errors
- ICBC marking criteria
- Areas needing improvement
6️⃣ Practice Weak Areas
Use your feedback to improve specific areas like merging, right turns on red, or parking accuracy. TASK Driving Academy offers custom refresher lessons tailored to your mock test results.
