Booking advice and appointment availability
We recommendÌýbooking your test early in the booking period. Once booking opens,Ìýyou canÌýcheck availability through yourÌý.Ìý
There will be fewer test dates to select from later in the booking window. If your preferred test location has reached capacity, you will need to book your test at another location and may have to travel further to the test centre. Appointments may become available at a test centre that has reached capacity as other candidates cancel or reschedule their test date.
You areÌýstronglyÌýrecommended to book a July test date. If you choose to book a late test date and then encounter illness or other issues which prevent you from attending your test appointmentÌýit will be difficult rescheduling or rebooking a test. There will be very few appointments available in the final weeks of testing, and in some locations there may be no appointments available.
