No.  Before you have actually passed your test you are not allowed to drive 
on motorways, this includes during the actual practical exam.

It's not quite as bad as it sounds though, because in the UK we have a lot 
of roads that are very similar to motorways (same speed limit, dual 
carriageways, multiple lanes in each direction) but are just not classed as 
such.  You can drive on these as a learner driver.  Also IIRC in the test 
you have to drive on a road like this for a bit too.
