SERU Practice Excercise: First Edition

This book is a comprehensive guide for PHV drivers to practise, familiarise and prepare for their SERU assessment. This assessment is known as the Safety, Equality and Regulatory Understanding Assessment. The SERU assessment consists of two sections looking at the ten chapters of the TfL SERU handbook. Questions are a combination of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and fill in the blanks. Sometimes longer sentences are used for MCQs to ensure that students have thoroughly revised what they have learnt in their handbook. This will help with two things: Understanding MCQs and answering them correctly. Improve chances to overcome their difficulties when faced with fill in the gap assessment. Sometimes different formats of the same grammar have been used to help students understand how the sentences are formed to make grammatical sense. Passing the Safety, Equality and Regulatory Understanding Assessment will also mean that students have the required English language skills of reading and writing in order to be licensed as a London PHV driver. This book has been specifically designed to replicate the exam style questions so that students can build their confidence for the exam as well as improve their English reading and writing skills. It aims to build on vocabulary and the different areas of the driving as a licensed PHV driver. PHVs play an important role in delivering excellent passenger transport service. Therefore, for the safety of all involved from the customers, drivers, operators and road users this exam practice book is an essential guide. In my personal experience of teaching English for over 28 years as well as preparing students for examinations related to different aspects of their lives I have been able to adapt my resources to best suit the learners. I have deliberately written lots of fill in the gaps questions to improve learners’ grammar and their understanding of the MCQs. I strongly believe reading and practicing as much as possible makes the learner prepared in the best way possible. This practice book will certainly help in securing a pass with the SERU assessment! It has the option of repeating the exercises limitless times and also gives the learner the flexibility to choose which section to focus on to improve their weaknesses. With positivity in mind, I hope you greatly benefit from this learning resource and excel in becoming the best PHV driver in London! GOOD LUCK! Abdul Haque Chowdhury
