    I applied online & wasn't given option to select a date
    Driving instructor said 60 weeks
    Website says they will email 4/5 weeks before the test date to tell me what the date is

    The waiting time is about 3 months at the moment based on feedback (assuming ytou are talking about driving test, not theory test).

    There has never been an option to select a date. It’s a disgrace of a system, I don’t know how they get away with it. only in Ireland...

    I've often wondered this, why don't they do a system like the NDLS uses to book time slots for appointments?

    Assume it's because there isn't fixed resources and they can't commit to having X amount of daily slots per test centre?

    It's absolutely mad that when you book a test you have no idea when you are going to sit the test until 4-5 weeks earlier.

    I’m convinced it’s so that their working hours can’t be scrutinised. Want an extra day off here and there, not a problem. They’ve already had your money for months before they have to ‘offer’ you an appointment at their convenience. And you’re allowed one refusal, after that they keep the money.

    Sorry, you can cancel the test TWICE so long as you give at least 10 days notice. You will not lose your fee.
