Cancel your driving or riding test if you no longer need your appointment. You can cancel your test up to the time your test starts. You must give at least 3 full working days' notice to get a full refund.
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.
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.

As soon as a cancellation occurs, driving test slots that were previously booked for a later date become available. These slots are highly sought after, as they allow learners to take their driving test earlier than anticipated.
