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.
Theory test cancellation slots can appear at any time the DVSA website can be used. We will search every few minutes and notify you as soon as we find a theory test that matches your availability and theory test centre choices.

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 for whether there's a better time of year to take the driving test, male and female pass rates show the same slight peaks in April, August and December: April: 50.1% (male) and 42.7% (female) August: 50.2% (male) and 43.0% (female) December: 49.9% (male) and 42.5% (female).
Also, end of the week, particularly Thursday and Friday, is one of the best time frames to get a test cancellation. Friday, of course, seems to be the big day where learners and driving instructors make an important decision whether to go on with the exam or cancel it completely.
The time of day you choose for your test can significantly impact you. Early morning tests benefit from lighter traffic but also mean colder engines and sleepy drivers. Midday tests might encounter busier roads, while late afternoon tests might face the beginning of rush hour.
