When Do Most People List Their Tests?

Swappy listing activity follows a clear weekly pattern based on platform data:

Monday

High — post-weekend decision making
Tuesday

High — pre-weekend action
Weekend
Lower but still active

How Far in Advance Should You List?

The sweet spot is listing 6–12 weeks before your current test date. This gives enough time to find a match without listing so far ahead that potential partners haven't yet booked near your preferred window. Listing more than 16 weeks out tends to result in fewer immediate matches.

How Wide Should Your Preferred Date Range Be?

Learners who set a wider preferred date range (e.g. "any date 4–12 weeks earlier") find matches significantly faster than those who specify a single preferred date. Being flexible on time of day (morning vs afternoon) also doubles your potential match pool.

Set preferred range: at least 4–6 weeks wide for maximum matches
Include morning AND afternoon time preferences
Enable all 3 nearest centres as preferred options
Turn on Premium+ phone alerts for instant match notification
