Good, minor gripe

“Really good overall and I was in six weeks early. Tiny gripe is I would have liked more flexibility on times of day. Still a great service.”

Second test sorted

“Second test sorted much sooner after a fail on the first. The gap between attempts is what gets you rusty so this helped a lot.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a driving test booked already?
Yes. You need an existing DVSA practical driving test booking before we start monitoring. You can book any available date through DVSA, even if it is months away, then let DriveSooner alert you when something earlier comes up.
DriveSooner checks the DVSA booking system for available slots at your chosen test centres. When a matching earlier slot appears, we send you an SMS alert with a direct DVSA link. You then decide whether to move your test to that slot through DVSA.
We manually check throughout the day and send alerts quickly when a matching slot appears. How quickly you find a slot depends on your test centre and how flexible you are with dates and times. The more eligible centres you choose, the better your chances.
Start with an existing DVSA practical driving test booking. You can then use DriveSooner to monitor up to three eligible nearby test centres for earlier dates. Read our guide to finding available driving test dates, then start monitoring when you are ready. You remain in control and make any change yourself through DVSA.
Cancellations can appear when another learner changes or cancels an appointment. There is no guaranteed release day or time, and suitable slots can disappear quickly. Our guide explains when driving test cancellations appear. DriveSooner checks throughout the day and sends you an SMS when a matching earlier slot is found.
Yes. Choose up to three eligible centres based on your current DVSA booking. You can browse our UK test centre directory before setting your preferences. If a suitable earlier slot appears, DriveSooner sends an SMS alert and you decide whether to move your test through DVSA.
