If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re thinking of making an online theory test booking, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll want to know how long it will take to get a theory test appointment after you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve booked. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what you need to know\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be pleased to know that tackling waiting times for a theory test appointment is high on the priority list of the DVSA, along with reducing lengthy waiting times for the practical driving test.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, you may or may not be pleased to hear that waiting times vary depending on your location. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good if you live in a location where a theory test appointment is issued pretty quickly, not so great if your location has a reputation for lengthy waiting times.<\/span><\/p>\n

General theory test appointment waiting times \u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

As a rule of thumb, the DVSA looks to hit a target of 95 per cent of driving theory test<\/a><\/strong> candidates receiving a theory test appointment within two weeks of their preferred date, specified when making an online theory test booking.<\/p>\n

When booking a theory test online, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth noting that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not guaranteed to get a theory test appointment on the day you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve specified. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re holding out for that date, you could be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, when you book a DVSA theory test, you should make sure that you have other available dates besides your primary date. That way you have more chance of securing a theory test appointment sooner rather than later.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there are no available theory test appointment slots on your required date, you will be offered an alternative appointment. However, when making your online theory test booking<\/a><\/strong> you can request that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re notified of a cancellation by another candidate on your preferred date.<\/span><\/p>\n

If a cancellation does not materialise on your preferred date and you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t commit to an alternative date, you will need to reschedule or cancel your theory test appointment within 3 clear working days of your appointment date. Failure to do so will result in you losing your driving theory test fee and you will have to pay again.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Flexibility when it comes to your theory test appointment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

You might be fortunate enough to make an online theory test booking and get an appointment for the exact day you requested<\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0Result. However, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t always work out that way so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth remaining completely flexible when it comes to a theory test appointment. After all, if you decline an appointment, you could wait weeks for another.<\/span><\/p>\n
