Am I Ready for My Driving Test?

Sitting the test before you're ready just burns a slot and your confidence. This 6-question checker uses the DVSA's own signs of readiness to give you an honest answer.

The DVSA's signs you're ready

• You don't need prompts from your instructor.
• You don't make serious or dangerous mistakes.
• You can pass mock tests.
• You've practised managing nerves.
• Your instructor agrees you're ready.

Ready? Don't wait

If you're ready but your test is months away, bring it forward — earlier cancellations open every day, and we can alert you the moment one appears.

Not ready? That's fine

Move your test back before the 10-working-day deadline so you keep your fee, take a couple more mock tests, and go when you're genuinely ready.
