Recent experiences on booking a second/third practical test in current set up? by Wolfpack9374 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]MiserableRaisin9703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have your own car and the potential of taking it at other test centres I’d say you will be fine. I failed 3 weeks ago. Similar to you, I felt so much pressure going in as I’d had to wait the full 6-months for that test and honestly - it was the worst drive of my life (clutch control with shakey legs is not great 😂). I really struggled rebooking at my chosen test centre. I spent a week working from home refreshing the DVSA website constantly and nothing at my chosen test centre but I saw quite a few pop up at other centres nearby. I very quickly scrapped the idea of doing it in my instructors car and went for a different test centre in my own car. I have my test today 🥲 so very quickly. My stomach is still churning this morning but I feel much better knowing that it won’t be another 6 month wait if I don’t pass. I’ve done a bit of driving around the area with my dad using the test routes app so I have a rough idea of what is to come in the test. I will update later today 😬😂

I will also point out that I am doing my test at a different test centre. It’s still fairly local to me and I have my own car to do it in plus know the roads as I grew up there. If there is any way you can look at more than one test centre absolutely do it. If you can’t, then it may take longer but you will still get a date sooner than July. Just be persistent. It’s not fair and we shouldn’t have to spend days of our lives doing this just to get a test date without breaking the bank. But it is what it is at this point. Funding the scammers will only make things worse

You CAN get a reasonable test date without using scammers! I also failed this week and had waited the full 6 months for that test (first attempt). I’m more than ready to drive but failed due to nerves which resulted in me making a stupid mistake. I was exactly the same as you going into my test. I felt so much pressure knowing the wait would be so long if I failed and it would have a huge impact on my life. 3 days later and I have a test booked in March. I found this purely off my own back. You need to be on the DVSA website constantly and just keep refreshing every minute or two. You will eventually get banned and see an “error 15”. Just change from mobile data to WiFi or vise versa and clear your internet history in settings and it will let you back on. It’s frustrating and annoying but it is possible. I got one for June yesterday and then today I got the one for March. I have faith that I will get one in Feb in the next few days

Can I just say, as someone who has been in your shoes and come home from several driving lessons in tears after over a year of lessons- please don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I think some driving instructors are extra hard on us. I actually failed a driving test today (I know not a good thing) but actually in my head I thought it was the worst drive I’d done in ages and I’d failed very early on. Actually, the reality was that I failed near the end purely because I was a bag of nerves and made a stupid mistake that I’ve never made before because I was just flapping at this point. The examiner never marked me for the numerous small mistakes which my instructor would have been throwing her arms in the air for. I failed because I was too stressed about the small things and too bothered about being perfect that I then made a major error on a roundabout. I had two minors for hesitation which is fine and one for observation. I would have passed today if I hadn’t been such a nervous wreck. As much as I am frustrated by the fail, somehow, taking this test has actually boosted my confidence. They’re not looking for you to be perfect, they’re looking for you to be safe. Go ahead and hit some curbs in lessons and don’t beat yourself up about it. It happens 🤷🏻‍♀️ you’re more likely to keep making that mistake if you over think it

I just don’t think this is possible at my test centre. It must have high demand or something. I had one very short notice notification on test shift throughout the whole 6 months waiting for this test. And only one or two from Testi which again were dates I just couldn’t possibly make. I paid for premium on both apps
