Booking a driving test

Hi, i’ve been learning how to drive and i wanted to take my test around June-August time. However all my test dates for my test centre are full. I’m debating on whether to book a test in a random area and then use a cancellation app to look at my centre and the cancellations there. Has anyone got any apps or other methods they use?

Thanks

Check regularly throughout the day, if possible the more often, the better. mondays are good too at 6am.
You might spot a newly added test, an examiner picking up extra shifts, additional staff at the centre, or a cancellation from another learner.
It takes some patience and persistence, but there’s often something that fits your schedule (depending on the area).
it took me a while to get a spot. i took adnavtage of the time by practicing driving test routes.


Yeah thankfully i’ve managed to get a test for the start of september. I’ll ask my instructor if there’s any possibility of swapping closer to the time. I’ll be sure to practise test routes though. How many hours did it take for you to finish?
