What is the SERU pass mark?

Candidates need to demonstrate competence across all subject areas — the SERU is a competency assessment rather than a simple percentage, and you must pass each module.

How long does the real SERU take?

UK Test Hub SERU mocks use a 30-minute practice timer. Official TfL SERU timing and test-centre arrangements can change, so always check TfL’s current guidance before booking or attending the real assessment.

What do I do if I fail SERU?

You can re-sit, but TfL charges a re-test fee each attempt and may impose a waiting period. Use these mocks until you're consistently scoring well before rebooking.

Is SERU the same as Topographical?

No — Topographical tests map reading and London geography. SERU tests safety, equality and regulation knowledge. Most applicants must pass both.

About this mock

SERU Mock 5 gives focused revision on licensing duties using operator and passenger contact points. When licensing duties appears in the question, booking records, complaint handling and licensing duties during public confidence review give the main evidence for the answer. A lower score points to licensing duties in practice before another mixed mock. On SERU Mock 5, feedback should lead back to licensing duties.
