What this means for learners

This is a dated update to the booking window. Check the live GOV.UK guidance and booking service for dates available at your test centre today.

Before choosing an earlier slot, check that you are ready and that your instructor and the car you plan to use are available. Use any extra time to practise the situations that still need work.
