SERU Mock
SERU results: what TfL says
TfL does not say on the pages we checked how or when you will get your SERU result. Your booking confirmation and the TfL assessment centre are the places to check.
What is published
TfL’s SERU page says what the assessment is, who takes it and how to prepare. It sends a "what to expect on the day" guide after your booking is confirmed. We found no statement of how results are given, so we do not say. Some websites say you see a result on screen at the end. That is not on a TfL page we checked.
What happens after a pass
For a new applicant, SERU is one of the checks before the licence is granted. You must also pass the English speaking and listening test and the topographical assessment. See the tests in order. Passing also counts as your English reading and writing evidence.
What happens after a fail
New private hire applicants are normally allowed three attempts. See what happens if you fail and the resit fee of £30.
Questions to ask TfL
- How and when will I get my result?
- How soon can I book a resit?
- Will I see which sections I did badly in?
Use the contact details in your TfL emails. We do not know whether TfL gives a section breakdown, but our mocks do. Try free Mock 1.
If you are unsure about anything on this page, ask TfL. Policies and fees can change, so we link to TfL’s own pages below.
Questions
When do I get my SERU result?
TfL does not say on the pages we checked. Check your booking confirmation or ask TfL.
Do I find out my score straight away?
Some websites say yes, but TfL does not say so on the pages we checked.
What happens if I pass SERU?
It counts towards your licence application, and as evidence of your English reading and writing. You must still complete the other checks TfL requires.
What if I fail?
You normally have up to three attempts. A resit costs £30 according to TfL’s current notice.
