Hello everyone, I have managed to book a cancellation and have my driving test this week, the nerves are going through me.
The second I booked it I just thought to myself why am I doing this, I am a confident driver, I’m able to asses situations well I think and have no issues from getting from A to B, but that doesn’t change that the second there’s someone of authority sitting next to me I freak out.
I guess what I’m asking for is tips, tricks or anything that helped ye mellow down the day off.
I have absolutely no doubt that my driving ability is good enough to pass, but when it comes to calming down well I think that’s what will get me.
I’m not even like going for a pass, because even though I obviously want to pass I also just want to have this like black cloud removed from my head where I’m stressed out and have no clue what to expect.
Any tips on how you guys just became composted and focused will be amazing :)

How long do I have to be on the waiting list before booking a cancellation? Hello everyone , some context here I’ve recently finished my 12 lessons with my instructor, have my own car, insurance and am on the waiting list for maybe just under 2 weeks now. I’ve an estimate of 2 months before getting an invitation which no isn’t bad until I hear that currently my town doesn’t have a tester and hasn’t for the last 3 weeks due to nobody wanting the job, this is not only causing a serious back up in tests but will most certainly mean I will not get a test in July, I do need a license for September to commute to college, (even if I don’t commute all the way I still would need to drive to the train station as its not accessible by foot). My instructor has reassured me I’m a good driver and am ready for a test, same with family and friends. The towns surrounding my town that I’d feel comfortable doing a test in also don’t have the greatest wait times, I’m hoping for some sort of cancellation somewhere, especially knowing I’m ready (I know longer waiting time means more practice but longer waiting time also means more money, more time off the road and more stress).

First of all my RSA account when I log in doesn’t show an option for test centre, etc. It just says you’re on the waiting list for a driving test category B(?) and the only option I have it to either cancel, rejoin or check estimate, I downloaded an app called “get driving test cancellations” which lets you see cancellations all over Ireland, when I press into it, it just brings me to that same page where it says “you’re waiting for a driving test category B” which no option to book it, I’m quite confused because of this because I dont know the issue :/

Any help would be appreciated
(Sorry if this is a mess, I didn’t think this post through fully lol)

Currently on the waiting list and been estimated to get invited in July, this being my first test idk if that’s good or bad but just wondering how long everyone else waited?
