DS passed his theory beginning of July! Earliest test date was the end of November!
Through blood, sweat and tears, via one of these cancellation apps, we managed to get an earlier test (next week)! This has been booked for months! Despite earlier tests pinging up occasionally I was never ‘fastest finger first’ - (which is something you need to be first to book the cancelled spot)!
DS was ready to take his practical at the end of August but due to this shockingly long wait for tests, we just had to go with it!
Today, less than a week before his test was due an email comes through stating that the examiner is now no longer available on that date - next available date early December!
We’re livid, will continue to use the cancellation app but it’s just so frustrating that there’s nothing we can do! It costs hundreds of pounds to learn and then once you’re ready you can’t get a test until months later!!
AIBU to think that the whole DVSA site requires a complete overhaul, where tests cannot be block booked by companies (BBC article I will try and source) therefore, leaving those who are ready not able to get a test for months!!
