Just a few reminders:
- only book via the Official DSA website
- use this link for Theory Tests
- use this link for Practical Tests
- do not use any other sites except for these – all others are either unofficial or complete scams
- you do not get sent a confirmation letter for your practical in the post
- you can rearrange your test a maximum of three times
- after that, you’ll have to cancel and rebook it
- you do not need your instructor’s ADI number (unless the’ve told you to use it) – leave that section blank
The reason for limiting the number of changes to three is people keep moving tests back, then back a bit more, then back a bit more… when they were obviously never going to be ready to take it in the first place. Repeated changes mess up other people’s chances of getting bookings and create administrative issues at the DSA (there’s a tendency to forget that there is more than just one person taking their test on any given day).
Contrary to what you might otherwise be told, the “three moves” rule is more to stop people booking tests pointlessly when they are not going to be ready no matter what driving school or driving instructor they are training with. It’s bad enough with three moves being available (relocating just one test for a single pupil is a real headache) - that’s probably why it isn’t publicised openly – but with more than three it would be total mayhem.
