AIBU driving test

[TheLastLotus]

Started driving lessons a month before Covid - now resuming.
Currently I’m doing one lesson a week - but instructor recommends more than once so I can get more used to the car. He is very much in demand and so fits students into slots as early as possible.
My problem is that the earliest test date I can find is August. I’ve signed up for a rebooking service that lets me know if available slots.

Is it U to continue with one lesson a week until I have a test date - then take two weeks off work and do an intensive course with a different instructor?

I really need to pass as quickly as possible- now WFH but work’s in the middle of nowhere with shitty transport. Returning in July. Also I’m paying for all these lessons myself and have been scrimping/saving - I have a bit of money to throw at the problem but ofc If it runs out due to delayed tests etc then I’m in trouble. I don’t have a parent or anyone else’s car to borrow for practice so lessons are my only option.

Please please help me out wise ladies of mumsnet!

I passed my test the second time.

On the first I had the whole week off work leading up to it when I drove huge amounts each day, and the 4/5 weekends leading up to it I was in the car constantly (drove with my Husband) by the time my test came I had made my whole life about passing and I was so nervous that I failed. The second time I was a lot more relaxed about it and passed with 1 minor.

The most important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself, make sure you are confident with your manoeuvres and make sure your instructors takes you on lots of different roads.

When it comes to an intense driving course you are probably better revisiting that in June as it gives you time to book one in if needed, but you will have had the experience to really decide.

Did you pass OP?
