Testi Driving Cancellations UK 4+

Although I paid for the app, I found most suitable driving test cancellations just by opening the app at random intervals throughout the day. I found that I often I didn’t receive a notification for the available cancellations, and then would find it too slow to open the app and by that time the cancellation has been nabbed already. So paying for me was not necessary, but it can be handy if a bunch of cancellations suddenly become available (which they sometimes do), it will notify you and give you a chance to grab one if there are multiple available.

The actual process of getting a cancellation is a little tricky and takes time to get used to and become quick enough at to get a actual cancellation and it isn’t always clear if someone has already taken a it, with some time and effort, the app eventually becomes second nature to use and is easy enough to navigate.

I managed to pass on my third attempt and used this app for both of my retakes after waiting over a year for my initial driving test thanks to covid delays, so it was an absolute godsend to only have to wait a couple weeks between retaking my test!

As you know, COVID has made getting practical driving tests within the next 6 months an absolute nightmare. Demand for tests in the nearish future is ridiculously high, as there are still thousands of people looking for tests who would likely have passed last year without the pandemic. However, that is where Testi comes in and was definitely the best app I bought to help jump queues and grab the rare shorter term cancellation dates. Whilst in order to get the full service you need to cough up £10, it is still certainly worth it for the opportunities it gives you. The push notifications let you know as soon as a test pops up which suits your fancy in terms of location, date and time of day, which allows you to be one of the first onto the govt website and gives you best chance of securing the date. Whilst the app does not guarantee that you will secure this test, naturally there is lots of competition for these nearby tests, it does give you the best possible chance of securing it, as Testi almost auto-logs you in. For me, the app was a lifesaver, I booked an original test in mid July which I failed and thought I may have months waiting for another, but using the app I got another test in just over 2 weeks at my same preferred test centre which I passed. Also recommended it to a friend’s older brother who couldn’t secure it a test, and next time I was him he had one he was happy with. Do yourself a favour and get this app.

The DVLA site showed no test slots anywhere in Greater London for the next six months. I booked a random slot in Northern England and signed up with the paid version of this app. I also enabled the Safari extension that automatically logs on the the DVLA site and tested it and it was fine. I kept checking the app to see if there were any available slots - it is far more convenient than checking the DVLA site directly. A few days later the app sent me notifications about newly available slots at my preferred London site. I tried to do the auto-login but this time I got a new screen saying I was violating DVLA security protocols. I also got the same message trying to log in to the DVLA site directly. I deleted the Safari extension and cleared the Safari cache and I was able to log into the DVLA site directly and change my test location and date. So, the app worked very well at showing me and notifying me about available slots which I was then able to directly book. So if this is what you want this app is fine.
