Re: Why?!?
Phone round the driving schools. They sometimes block book them

Re: Why?!?
Yep, I had the same problem. Had a six week wait when I booked, but I checked in 3 times a day on the website and luckily got one sooner, a 2 week wait was all I had.
So all I can say is keep checking and good luck. |

Re: Why?!?
Yeah !!! Do it on a Tuesday mate. The schools bulk buy and then you have to cancel a minimum of 3 days or lose your money so they all cancel on Tuesday for Saturdays tests. x

Don't work like that anymore. A practical test can't be booked without a theory test certificate number so block booking is impossible now. The waiting list is down the the DSA clamping down on overtime so weekend and evening tests are very hard to come by, meaning a longer wait for weekday tests (although to be honest, in the 5 years I've been an instructor, 6 weeks has been the average waiting time). |

Like the others say, keep checking the DSA website as cancellations happen all the time. |
