How long are postal tests currently taking?

I don't drive and the nearest test centre is a bit of a trek...can't wait to learn how to drive once lessons reopen!

I requested one on Saturday, arrived on Sunday, posted Monday and delivered according to royal mail tracking and still waiting for results now so waiting over 80 hours. Sad
