How long after applying do you get your test date?

BladeCypher

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knew how long after applying for your driving test should you expect to receive a test date? (on average)

Thanks.

I've heard its about 4-5 weeks you might get a test date. Waiting times vary in test centres.

Check out the link above anyway from the RSA website list of waiting times.

Have you tried the online booking to get a date and time to suit you?

I have seen the waiting times list I was just wondering how long after applying does it take for them to actually tell you the test date.

I did try using the online system but it didn't work properly so I had to apply normally.

I don't know what the national average is, but for myself and most people I know, you get your test date (by email, or by letter, depending on what you opted for) about a month before, which gives you the date, time and location!

From the time you apply I think it takes between 4-5 weeks maybe more depending on the test centre.

Depends on where you live, and what test centre you're applying to. It can be anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months.

For me it was about 2 months and if memory serves they let me know about 4 weeks in advance. You can pick your own date though if you apply online. Alternatively you can apply for a cancellation BUT I wouldn't do this unless you really need to do your test urgently as they may only give you a few days notice.
