Extra Time Driving Tests: Can You Swap Them in 2026?
Extra time tests are DVSA practical tests with additional time allowance for learners with disabilities, health conditions, or learning differences. Here's how swapping works for extra time tests in 2026.
What Are Extra Time Tests?
DVSA offers extended time allowances to learners who have disabilities, chronic health conditions, or learning differences (such as dyslexia or ADHD) that may require more time to complete the test's instruction-following component. These require prior DVSA approval and documentation.
Like-for-like only: Extra time tests can only be swapped with other extra time tests. You cannot swap an extra time test for a standard weekday test.
How Swappy Handles Extra Time Tests
Swappy categorises extra time tests separately in the listing and matching system. When you list an extra time test, you'll only see other extra time test listings as potential matches — ensuring full DVSA compliance and a like-for-like swap.
