Booking your tests

 

Booking theory/driving test advice.
Many pupils are typing into google ‘Book a theory test’ and then are being given a choice of many websites all offering the same service and more. The Direct.gov website charges £23 for a driving theory test, however, there are copycat sites charging in the region of £62 for exactly the same service.
Many copycat sites are using official logo’s to create a sense of trust to users that don’t know any different and some websites are offering free re-tests if the pupil fails their first attempt. That sounds great, until you read the small print within the terms and conditions. Within the terms and conditions, it explains the pupil must fail by just 1 mark to qualify for a free re-test. With the pass mark being a minimum of 43 anything less than 42 means that you the pupil wouldn’t be entitled to a free re-test.
To avoid paying any booking fee, book your driving theory test through the following link: www.gov.uk/book-a-driving-theory-test

The theory test is £23, and the driving test is £62. www.gov.uk/book-driving-test
Anything more than that and you should be extra wary about using that particular company. Copycat sites usually make it very easy to book a test with them, however, they make it very difficult when you have a problem.
