    I'm currently learning how to drive and have done 10 of 12 lessons required. Just wondering is it possible to pay and book a test before completing the EDT as I have exams and won't be able to practice as much, but would like to do my test asap after Christmas.

    You can pay and 'book' the test but to my knowledge you can't be issued a test date until you have the 12 lessons completed.

    I know it sounds nuts but for example, if you were moving on to your 3rd or subsequent permit but had never gotten around to completing EDT, you can 'book' a test to get your permit and later, complete your EDT, get a date, pass the test etc

    Can you be issued a test date before the 6 month period is over? If, for example, you finish your lessons in November and your 6 months aren't up until February, can you book your test in November?

    No, you have to be a holder of a Leaner Permit for the minimum period of six months before you can sit your driving test.

    Oh yeah, I understand that. But if I were to book my test in November, could I be issued a test date for February (after my waiting period is up)? Or would I have to wait until the 6 month period is up to even book the test?

    You can book the test and block off all the days until the end of the 6 months. I booked the test in September even though my 6 months aren't up until the end of this month. And I marked all the days before then as days I'm not available. I did this is at the waiting list is roughly 13 weeks at my centre, so I'm hoping booking early I won't have to wait until March/April for a test. I don't know if it will speed things up or not though.
