The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Sea-Eggplant-5800yeah i cant log on
Sea-Eggplant-5800also testshift isnt showing me any cancellations but testi is 😭
Sea-Eggplant-5800gosh there’s dates i could book but cant even bloody enter
BlueNigoYeah I can’t change my test date
pattyboi14honestly, everything about the system is unacceptable. We shouldn't be waking up this early to fight for test slots. DVSA just don't have any remorse.

tka7680Whenever i try to change my test date, the page just gets stuck loading and then blocks me for the rest of the day if i try too many times. Anyone else had this issue? Tried emptying my browser cache and cookies
Bella-lora01Congrats I’m glad it helped
Impossible-Fudge-735Hello I was wondering if anyone is able to swap with me - Current Test: Tuesday 10th February Belvedere 2026 2:05pm I’m looking to move my test to an earlier date, ideally sometime this month or next month, before dec 8th. My preferred test centre is Belvedere, but I’m also open to the following locations: Mitcham, Morden, West Wickham, Bromley, Tolworth, Wood Green, Tottenham, Hendon, Borehamwood, Barnet, or Mill Hill.
