SpeedyTests

SpeedyTests is a UK driving test cancellation checker and rescheduling service built to help learners and driving instructors find earlier DVSA practical test dates. It is positioned as “Trusted by learners, driving instructors and driving schools nationwide” and offers two main routes:

• SpeedyTests for Learners: a cancellation checker designed for learners to use directly.
• SpeedyTests for Driving Instructors (ADI Scheme): a cancellation checker designed to find cancellations for students, aimed at ADIs and driving schools nationwide.

SpeedyTests operates as a rescheduling service and states clearly it is not associated or affiliated with the DVSA, DVLA, or any government agencies. You must already have a DVSA practical test booked before using the service, because SpeedyTests can only change existing bookings to take advantage of cancellations.

Features

Learner-focused cancellation checking

• Three learner packages: Standard, Premium, and Deluxe.
• You choose your preferences (criteria) including:
  • The timeframe you want them to search within (they do not search by your current test booking date).
  • The time of day you are able to take your test.
  • Whether you want auto-booking or not.
• Notifications are sent via text message when a cancellation matches your criteria.
• A slot is reserved for at least 15 minutes, and you can reply “BOOK” within 15 minutes to confirm the booking.
• If you do not want the date, you can ignore the text and wait for the next option.

Auto-Book option (optional)

SpeedyTests offers an Auto-Book feature where they “go ahead and book the first available test within your preferences” for people who cannot reply to texts quickly or want the earliest acceptable slot.

High-frequency scanning

SpeedyTests states their software checks the DVSA booking system very frequently:

• Up to every 5 minutes depending on the learner package purchased or the ADI Scheme code.
• They also state they can check every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or every 20 minutes depending on package or ADI code.
• They check from 6am to 11:40pm and describe this as all day, seven days a week in their process explanation.

Multi-centre monitoring

• You can choose up to three different test centres for monitoring.

Dashboard controls and self-serve refunds

SpeedyTests emphasizes dashboard control, including the ability to manage the service and, in eligible cases, give yourself a refund directly from the dashboard (auto refund button).

“For life” usage claim

SpeedyTests states that when you sign up, “it’s for life,” and that they will continue to search for cancellations whether you pass first time or fail many times, for no extra fee.

Pricing

SpeedyTests states “One time payment from only £19.99” and frames the value as:

• From only £19.99, meaning if you have just one less driving lesson, you have made your money back.

They also describe a money-back approach:

• “A driving test cancellation or your money back.” Terms and conditions apply.
• If they cannot find you a cancellation within your preferred dates, and your account is within 30 days of purchase and has had no error messages, a refund button will appear on your dashboard so you can refund yourself.
• If the refund button does not appear or you miss it, you can request a refund via email.

Why Choose SpeedyTests

Built for busy learners

SpeedyTests positions the service for learners who are in school, college, university, or working, where searching for early tests can be time consuming, stressful, or impractical. The service is presented as “hand over the reins to us” so you can continue daily life while they monitor cancellations.

Instructor and driving school advantage (ADI Scheme)

For ADIs and driving schools, SpeedyTests presents the ADI Scheme as a way to:

• Offer students earlier driving test slots at their local test centre.
• Gain an edge over competitors.
• Potentially make a profit.
• Get students off your books faster.
• Provide added value to students.

Designed for intensive driving schools

SpeedyTests states they supply their scanner to intensive driving schools and offer discounts for bulk orders, aimed at learners who want lessons within a week or two but are blocked by long waiting times.

Frequent checking and fast response workflow

SpeedyTests focuses on speed and simplicity:

• They check the DVSA system frequently (as often as every 5 minutes depending on plan).
• They text you the moment they find a match.
• You keep control: reply “BOOK” within 15 minutes if you want it, or ignore it if you do not.

Transparent, self-serve refund rules

SpeedyTests highlights that customers can handle most actions from the dashboard, including refunds in eligible scenarios, and explains the criteria clearly (within 30 days, no prior error messages, and no cancellation found within your preferred dates).

Clear disclaimer and realistic expectations

SpeedyTests states they cannot guarantee cancellations because only the DVSA can make guarantees. They estimate they are unable to offer a cancellation matching criteria for approximately 5% of customers, mainly because no tests become available within the timeframe given. They recommend adjusting preferences and note they rarely fail the second time after preferences are amended.

How SpeedyTests Works (Step-by-step)

1. Sign up
   Choose a learner package (Standard, Premium, or Deluxe) or use the single ADI Scheme package.

2. Choose your preferences
   Set your acceptable timeframe, times of day, and whether you want auto-booking.

3. Receive notifications
   When SpeedyTests finds a cancellation within your criteria, they text you the details (date, time, and test centre).

4. Confirm booking
   Reply “BOOK” within 15 minutes if you want it, and SpeedyTests books the reserved slot for you. You then receive an email from the DVSA confirming the change. If you want to search again later, you can log in and switch your plan back on.
