With the large backlog of driving test at the moment the DVSA are trying to improve the pass rate, they tried to do this last year by sending e-mails saying to only book a test when you are ready.
They are not proposing more changes to try a stop candidates taking a test before they are ready, will it work or will it just cause more stress to learner drivers?

I wouldn’t cancel a test but just reschedule the date. I had a test booked for Feb 2021 and kept moving it to ensure I could connect to the website, ended up taking the test on Oct 2021. I had to do that to fit with my medical condition.

[@savvassavva9231]

Works and is sensible on paper. However, encouraging a pupil to wait is a challenge indeed. I do believe that something more substantial has to be enforced.

[@UKDrivingTest]

That is the issue often, the DVSA don't understand their clients. Also extending some of these times could just make learners more nervous due to fear of a bigger wait should their fail.

[@laurenchester977]

The dvsa also needs to fix the backlog on issuing/renewing licenses. I applied in 7th aug and it didnt arrive unti; 29th sep. I also keep failing my theory test (not real). I have 1 booked for 17th feb and i could never exceed 46 marks, tho i passed just 3 times after taking 11 tests. Idk some info about vehicle documents, braking distances and questions that say 'how far can u reverse?' Idk what wrong with waving pedestrians to cross at a pedestrian/zebra crossing when im stopped since thats what i picked

[@katrina374]

It’s wrong to wave pedestrians at crossings because another vehicle may be coming.

[@tahirzaman1379]

I want to change the test to new available date but it says limit reached

[@UKDrivingTest]

you can only change it up to 6 times. If you need to change it again you will need to cancel the test and rebook a fresh one.

[@danielleforder]

Are these changes definitely happening? If so when?

[@UKDrivingTest]

As per video they are just going under consultation. So not confirmed yet.

[@therealsamtheman]

my theory test is in 12 days, I'm prepared and my friends are gonna quiz me tonight :) people should absolutely be ready when the date comes, sure some will still fail but that's life.

[@nadya2105]

Did u pss

[@therealsamtheman]

@@nadya2105 I crushed it! 49/50 on multiple choice and 55/75 hazard perception HP is 99% the three click method btw, not actual knowledge

[@EdwardElfigo]

@@therealsamtheman did you practice the multiple choice through apps? Cause I’ve basically memorised all the 750plus questions and answers by now and get 50/50 on 9 mocks out of 10 but don’t know if the questions will be any similar or not

[@therealsamtheman]

@@EdwardElfigo No I didn't use apps, I had a book and learned and re-learned the material. I also watched some youtube videos like this one. Driving Crawley's video on crossings is great

[@EdwardElfigo]

@@therealsamtheman I just did my theory test yesterday and passed, got 49/50 and 68/75 on the Hazard, 95 or so % of the questions I got I had revised through the app, same goes for 8 of the 14 hazard videos. I feel great rn.

[@cheekydevil69ER]

I passed my test, thank god I'm getting over it. they are nightmare

[@UKDrivingTest]

Well done!

[@cheekydevil69ER]

@@UKDrivingTest thank, to be honest it's pretty easy to get it done

[@mrBINnnnn]

All suggestions except first one are pointless, just increase of bureaucracy
