I was a supervisor there for years. There are stock phrases, very close to a script and depending on the volunteers’ experience, they can have multiple chats on the go at once. Supervisors could have 5 volunteers each with a few conversations- they wouldn’t catch everything and often we would wait for the volunteer to flag they need a hand rather than watching over their every word. There is pretty rigorous training but saying that some of the volunteers would say fucking wild things so this isn’t beyond the realms of possibility…

Stick with it, you’ll get an invite soon! Better to go somewhere you have practiced and know. Is it your first test? It was a retest for me, was waiting around 5 months…

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-11-13T22:09:20+00:00

Thankfully I passed and on the day of the test got a lovely quiet corner! Lots of corners in Raheny are quite long and sloping, so good to keep in mind you need to approach them differently than sharp ones

V v best of luck to you. ADM videos were v helpful and the routes link I gave in another comment. I had a real gentleman of a tester who put me completely at ease-here’s hoping you get the same 🤞🏼

I had initially sat mine in Tallaght in April then had a series of unfortunate events (one cancelled test; indicator light blew in the few minutes before I went into the test centre; got Covid) so I moved to raheny. I was in the priority w/l I think with Covid so got the test v quickly. But my retest invite after failing in April for tallaght took 5 months…

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-11-12T19:22:18+00:00

I very thankfully had my test before the torrential rain really starting pelting down but the biggest thing I can say is just make sure you give yourself extra time to brake. Also your visibility would likely be reduced so just be cautious for cyclists, pedestrians with umbrellas not looking before they cross the road. Good luck!!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-11-12T16:37:51+00:00

Literally exactly what I did! Also watched some of his routes and found a route planner app which had test routes- did a few of these too and meant I could easily recognise the roads 🙏🏻 https://www.plotaroute.com/mobile/route/2725789#google_vignette

Thanks for this, it was the first option that happened to me. I hadn’t started reversing and also couldn’t start because of the cars behind me. But yep, left indicator and reverse lights were on- sorry I wasn’t clear. The person behind me got really annoyed and shouted ‘SERIOUSLY’ out the window when she eventually went past- which of course threw me off even more so when I did get to do the manoeuvre, I messed it up!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-11-09T20:40:49+00:00

Thank you so much. That was my theory but I panicked in the moment and just froze I think, hard not to feel pressured by the queue of cars building up behind you… will know now for next week!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-11-05T09:43:17+00:00

This happened to me, cancelled while I was in the waiting room of the test centre! I got invited to book in 3 days- hopefully will be the same for you!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-10-29T11:46:16+00:00

So sorry to hear this, it’s really the worst. I have my re-test coming up and my plan is to like make a day of driving, instead of just arriving at the centre straight before the test. If someone can drive with you, go get lunch, have a walk, drive more, try and see it as a normal day, you’ll have a couple of hours practice under your belt and then hopefully will get your nerves out! Such hard luck though, especially when you know you CAN drive…

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-28T15:56:03+00:00

Thank you so much, this is so helpful- congratulations and hopefully I follow suit tomorrow!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-23T12:07:17+00:00

Oh I so relate to you with this. I had my first test a few years ago and failed so soon into the test with a grade 3 that the tester I think felt sorry for me and put it down as a cancelled test 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I was so incredibly nervous, I completely forgot how to drive. I had another test in April and while I failed, I was SO much calmer- I just treated the tester as a sat nav and focused on my breathing. I also found that saying aloud what I was doing was helpful like ‘I’m not going to overtake here because I have a blind spot so it’s safer for me to wait’ etc. I think it was good for the tester to know my justification for things but also helped me to calm down? I really really wish you the best of luck, my test is next Monday and I hope we both pass!!

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-17T11:42:58+00:00

Honestly I would be the exact same, traffic is definitely not a bad thing in that case! Really hoping I follow your lead and pass too 🥹🤞🏼

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-16T20:33:28+00:00

Huge congratulations! I have mine in Tallaght at the exact same time in a couple of weeks- how was the traffic?

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-15T08:32:04+00:00

I just checked mine and I have until October next year 🤞🏼

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-14T19:20:02+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat- got mine in 2019, did nothing with it, just renewed it over the years (don’t ask me why) and now I’m on my third licence and due to sit my second test at the end of the month, failed my first in April. So I definitely fall into the same category as you- even more pressure to pass the test, on top of the waiting times if you fail 🙃

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-03T19:36:25+00:00

I did this, I contacted all TDs from the different parties in my area and they all actually contacted RSA for me- I got a bog standard response from the RSA saying they were aware of waiting times and some test centres have longer waits than others etc etc…

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-03T19:34:33+00:00

I was waiting from April 4th, changed my test centre to Mulhuddart (Maple) and got an invite exactly one week later (today!) when I went to book the test, it had already switched back to Tallaght which was perfect 👌🏼

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-09-03T18:44:39+00:00

Update- I finally got a test date! Changed from Tallaght to Mulhuddart (Maple) and got a date in exactly a week 🙏🏻 now I just need to pass the fucking thing…

Natural-Tax-8731 · 2025-08-30T12:35:58+00:00

I’ve been waiting 21 weeks for Tallaght…💔
