How long did it take you to pass your driving test?

Including lessons, practice time or any tips?

Average is around forty something hours with 22 hours of private practice. Don't try and rush through things is what I'd say.
2 months including theory and practical test.

Everyone is different so it may take longer to do.

I spent maybe around 45 hours of lessons and a few hours of private practice (maybe 10-15). Don't put pressure on yourself to get your license at a specific time, just take your time learning!
Around 60hrs of lessons. No private practice at all, and a few extra lessons after a test fail.

2hr lessons worked for me. Time to get back into the groove and pick up new things.
Maybe less than 2 months, probably 6 weeks with 2 hours of lessons per week. No private practice at all.
