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.
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 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.
Get the Testi app. You will need to put in your test date and the test centre it's at, then select push notifications and you're all set. You will need to be quick when a cancellation comes up as slots go very quickly.
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.
The test lasts about 15 minutes, and you can only miss 20 points. You will be taught the correct way to master these driving skills during the driving sessions.
