I am a student and have a week off i early March. Given the new test is around the corner, should I attempt to squeeze it in?

The downside is that I will be poverty stricken the rest of term, and would be much easier financially to wait until the summer.

Is the new test going to be so much more epensive/more difficult that it would make the sacrifice worth it?

Thanks in advance

More people are likely to fail this new test (from an instructor not me) I think you have a off road test? If you fail just one of those you wont even go on the road.
If you have the money - Do it, You may end up spending more if you fail the new test.

True, but apparently its being split into 2 parts. so say you fail the first part you only loose half the fee kind of thing, or thats what tinernet souces seem to say.

And i think unless you book that test slot or get the training school to do it, youll be pushing it, as its getting closer to the time when it switches over the slots get manically booked up..

I'm trying to get it squeezed in before the test changes, it'll just make life a bit easier as I'm told it will be harder to pass.

Put it this way - when they've changed it, have they ever made the test cheaper or less convoluted?
