Even before the manoeuvre itself, the examiner checks your visual checks. This is the point where most candidates fail the exam, and it is also the easiest to fix.
During manoeuvres it is essential to turn your head so that you can see the area around you directly. Not doing this check can make you fail the exam, because it is an essential safety requirement.
If the car has a reversing camera, you must do a double check: look directly by turning your head, and also use the camera for a complete view.

Turn my head to look directly. It is an essential requirement: leaving it out can make you fail the exam.
No. You need a double check: look directly by turning your head, and also use the camera, for a complete view.
Common mistake: relying only on the mirrors and the camera. Mirrors have blind spots and the camera only shows what is behind: you must always turn your head, clearly.
Tip: exaggerate your checks. At the exam, a check that is done but cannot be seen counts as a check not done: the examiner must see you turn your head.
