    Theory test seems to have got seriously busy just this week. Heard of people booking one for the end of same week a couple of weeks ago, but now you cant get one in Dublin before September.

    Anyone know how the ndls booking system is set up? Plenty of available slots in July but August all booked up? Is it that they only take bookings up to a month ahead, or are people pre planning for August?

    i was booking mine last week and i was shocked how all the dublin centres had no availability but luckily i found a 9am slot for the 6th of july. it was either that or wait until september.

    Update - passed it. got 40/40 and now awaiting for my learner permit to arrive in the post. i am so excited to start the edt lessons. Any recommendations for what driving school should i choose ( manual, dublin )? i was thinking irish school of motoring because of the 400euro off axa insurance deal. seems like a good deal especially since insurance is so expensive for first time drivers.

    There has been a lot of extra appointments for theory test available for August and September. Got appt for son in mid August last night. He’d been cancelled for July appointment and given a date for mid November.

    You need to get at least 35/40 questions in the Theory correct? I thought it was 37/40

    Had mine booked for end of Nov but obviously got cancelled. Re-booked for Waterford Dec 11 when lock down happened..managed to reschedule for Dublin next week which is just a stones throw away from where I live. So I would suggest to those to keep checking the website to reschedule.

    Tbh ..i would like to do the theory test RIGHT before we open up normal after the vaccine ..otherwise months of my permit would be wasted without lessons etc.

    I think it's so wrong that they don't tell you exactly which questions you got wrong to give you a chance to learn them before the next test - they do give the score for each section but not the exact questions that you got wrong - it's a major money racket...

    Sorry should have made that clearer, mine was penciled in during level 5. I didn't wait for them to cancel and re-schedule, I just did it myself.

    Ok so preparing away for the driver theory which will be put off now for another few weeks by the looks of it.

    Gives me further homework time if nothing else.
    Not buying any CD's or books, so just working off online material and sources.

    Reading a 270 page online version of the rules of the road from 2019
    https://www.rsa.ie/Documents/Learner%20Drivers/Rules%20of%20the%20Road.pdf

    And then testing myself against an online mock test here

    http://theory-tester.com/


    Want to try and pass first time as now the covid will delay any possible insight into the current theory test.


    Needless to say any insight from people who have done the test recently (prior to covid obviously) or have any extras to add to the above items, appreciate it. tnx

    Is this normally enough to pass the test? The website has books and CDs they want money for, are they just extra help but not necessary?

    I found the official app worth paying for. Every possible question is in there and you can take quizzes based on categories or questions you previously answered wrong which I found helpful, especially if there's a particular category you're always scoring low in. It also offers explanations to the answers.
