Using driving test cancellation apps If you don't have the time or patience to search for cancelled driving tests manually, there are some apps that can do this for you. Usually, you'll book your driving test through the DVSA and then sign up to an app that scans test centres for suitable rescheduling slots.

Theory test appointments can be booked and keeping to three clear working days' notice, can also be changed and cancelled online or by telephone.
If you fail You'll get a letter at the test centre. It'll tell you which parts you did not score enough points on so you know what to practise.
The DVSA does not have a cancellation list for the theory test and the waiting times differ between theory test centres. Our driving theory test cancellation finder is very useful because it can find you short notice theory test cancellation slots by regularly searching the DVSA website.
Finding an earlier theory test can be tough since the DVSA does not have a cancellation list. We search test centres every 5 minutes for theory test cancellations to give you the best chance of finding an earlier test date.
If you already have a test booked, you can also try checking late at night. I had mine booked for the end of July, and last week I happened to look for a cancellation at like 10pm one night, and managed to get one for the following Sunday. Early morning or late night are probably your best bets.
As soon as a cancellation occurs, driving test slots that were previously booked for a later date become available.
