Can’t find a driving test date

Hi I just spent a fortune on lessons just to fail test a month ago because of nerves!
I’m looking for another test date but there are none!!!
I’m now extremely worried that I’m slowly forgetting what my instructor taught me.

Literally every test centre shows as no test dates found!

Is there any advice you guys have
Thanks in advance)

I’ve heard of those apps but am pretty sure theyre specifically for ppl who have actually got a test booked already.
But I can’t even book a test!!
Take a lesson every couple of weeks as a refresher. Everyone is in the same boat with regards to test booking.

I’d keep checking but in my area, a colleague has just looked and the earliest test date is in December/ January.

Keep taking lessons, work on mistakes and book a test when one is available and you're ready to take it

This probably won't help you now, but for those who are looking for practical test, test dates are normally released on every Monday every week on thr DVSA Website.

What I did was wake up at 5:55 am and wait for the website to open (6am). There were lots of time slots available throughout a week for me. However from previous experience, by 7am there were no more time slots, so you have no choice but to wake up before 6am.

I suggest waking up at 5:45 am, so you have time to make sure your tech are charged and working, and you also got your credit card, driving licence and maybe a parent, guardian or just someone to give a second opinion next to you, just incase you have trouble with choosing a date (I did)
