Taxi School 2021 Section 1 TAXI SCHOOL
The full Dataset, is the Data required to pass the Glasgow City Council Topographical Test. The material is not definitive but is sufficient to pass the exam.
The City Council often change a small number of questions at each exam session, which introduces new material to the process. It is important you update GTL with any changes or anomalies which you detect at your exam session.
In view of the foregoing, the Dataset will be subject of review, edit and update on an ongoing basis. Please consider the impact of sharing out of date material with friends or colleagues. Please consider the impact on the time and effort afforded to create this distance learning package, before copying or sharing for others.
The dataset is divided into five sections of similar size. This will permit (you) the learner to move at a realistic pace, engage in 25 question knowledge checks, relative to each section, prior to ultimately completing the 100 question Mock Tests, on all the full syllabus material.
