Can anyone recommend a good one for getting last minute availability please?

NOT the practical test, the theory test. Thank you.

Can't even find a date to book at any local test centre. Up to the end of November!

I had the same problem. Every centre within 90 miles was fully booked.
With these websites that find cancellations, you need to have an existing booking which most people don’t have.
I finally managed to get one at 2am in the morning by refreshing the page every 3-5 minutes. It was a bloody faff but you do unfortunately need to check every few minutes because they get booked so fast.

Should clarify, the test isn’t at 2am obviously, that’s what time the slot came up as available.

Interested in this thread?

I know you said theory test, but we've struggled with DS's practical. As black says, you need an existing booking before the apps work. We struck lucky at 5am this morning when a block must have just been released. Perseverance (and a menopausal body clock!) means that DS now has the option of using the apps to get an earlier cancellation.

Thanks all.

Has anyone used this company, I'm not sure if it legitimate or not....

For those struggling to get practical at your chosen test centre, book one for anywhere in the country that has availability. Then use a cancellation website limited to your chosen test centre(s) only

Yes @Itsorts although it’s annoying you can only search up to 3 test centres. You should be able to check earliest availability!

My son used the app having failed practical on 11 June. Rebooked same day and got 15 nov but within 24 hours got multiple cancellation offers with one for 2 July (he passed thankfully)
