What is the ideal time slot for practical test?
Book a time slot that's more comfortable for you to drive at. If your lessons are always at the same time, book an the test session at that time so you can get used to the traffic. Every session lasts 45 minutes. If you've never driven in bus lanes, rush hour, or at night, don't schedule your test during those times. Most people recommend doing it outside of bus lanes and rush hours so that traffic will be better.

HOW CAN I SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING A DRIVING LICENSE?
Fast Track to Simulator Lessons
You can speed up the process by selecting a Private Driving Instructor (PDI) who can begin and schedule your first five practical lessons within a week or two. Before you can book your simulator classes, you must first complete 5 practical lessons. You'll be one step closer to driving for real once you've completed your simulator training. You can start planning your practical driving test.
Getting Earlier Time for Lessons
You can keep checking for the slot to get an earlier time slot for CDC Car simulator lessons. This method is likely to be successful for school car learners in obtaining an earlier time slot. Private car learners, on the other hand, may not have the same success rate due to fewer cancellations of Car simulator lessons. Please keep in mind that school car learner Car simulator lessons cannot be substituted for private car simulator lessons because they are on different platforms.
Furthermore, if you have booked three simulator lessons, you must cancel one before you can book the first. As a result, the worst-case scenario is that someone else took the earlier slot while you were cancelling, and the slot you cancelled was also taken. Please keep this in mind.
Getting Waiver for Simulator Lessons
If you have severe discomfort during your first CDC Car Simulator Lesson, you can have a doctor certify that you are not suitable and will not be required to attend the next two simulator lessons. This could be a good thing because you can book a practical driving test without having to wait for the remaining two simulator lessons to be completed.
