Yes good job and in my opinion the way to do it, 6 months down the road in a rigid, learn your way about, learn the customers etc. good luck on your test 
Now a question for the examiners and instructors…
Why, when someone has passed their test do they not let them drive the thing home?
It happened the same on my motorcycle test and iirc on both HGV class 3 and class 1 in the days long gone. I also think they did it on my car test in 1975.
