To be so fed up with trying to book a driving test?

[imeanwhy]

Just this really. I have been trying to book my practical test for ages (weeks) and just no luck. I am almost at the point where my theory test will expire and I will have to pay even more money to retake that too. Argh how do people manage to book? I wake up at 6am most days to go into the system and book but "no test slots available on any dates". Day after day. It's doing my head in. I am in London which is probably not helping. All tips welcome.

I just booked one too! I can't believe it. I did the trick where you book one anywhere (found one easily in Liverpool) and then signed up with an app for autobooking from cancellations and it came through! THANK YOU to all for the tips. I would have still been sitting here in despair and frustration without you lovely mumsnetters 💚

Hurrah!! Well done! When is it?

DS wanted to book one at home in Wales. Six months!! I suggested he tried Leeds where he was at university he was nervous strange area but booked Halifax and a few driving lessons to get to know the area. 8 week wait and he passed.

We did try the apps but weren't lucky it was just after the final lockdown though

End of January @Delphigirl which suits we fine as it gives me time for a bit more practice

@justasking111 oh right after the lockdown there must have been crazy queues. Fab that he passed on his first try!

That’s great. Best of luck!

If you’re someone who suffers from test anxiety like me, I would highly recommend asking your GP for a propranolol prescription.
