Scammers! I thought this was the legit website, though they charge double. You should only book your test through GOV.UK website. It should be around £23. This con website is now 'thetheorytest.uk'... See more

Disappointed, scam I am delayed of driving by weeks.

I went on the website and booked my theory as it had lots of 5 star reviews, this is not the case they're not 5 stars at all it's a scam. They say you'll get confirmation in 3 working days and you don't. There's no contact number on the website either so you can't call them directly and you're with no choice but to leave messages witch are never answered. I can't believe when you search in Google about your theory this website is recommended at the top. The website looks and feels legit but it isn't. It has to be taken down... I thought my theory was on Friday and its not and this has affected the date of my lessons as I doubt I'll get my theory test anytime within the next 2 weeks, I have some time off work, now when I pass my theory I'll probably be back working with limited time to do my lessons. I am delayed of driving by weeks!!!

Avoid this company whatever you do!!

Avoid this company whatever you do!!! - 1 star is not low enough - I paid the £45 for my daughters theory test, they did not provide me with my preferred date, although it was to bad it was for 1 week later than i wanted. So far so good, however my daughter failed her first test by 1 point - I therefore re-booked her test for the next available date after uploading her test results. After receiving no confirmation after a couple of days I message the company using the 'ticket' system however I am still awaiting a response. I took my daughter for her test this morning at 0800 however surprise surprise - she wasn't booked in. AVOID USING THIS COMPANY - GO DIRECT TO THE GOV.UK WEBSITE WHICH I HAVE JUST DONE AND BOOKED YET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT

Preying on the Naive

Being from Canada, I wasn't versed in the ways of the DVLA, so when I did a search for booking my theory test, I naturally gravitated to Google's first link. What a mistake. Being unaware that the test only costs 23 pounds, I naively paid 45 assuming that was the norm. Having been a driver for 15 years previously, I didn't require the free retest safety net, and in hindsight, at 45 pounds, you could afford to sit the test twice for virtually the same amount! My preferred date wasn't given to me, which I understand, but the date that they gave me (a month later) was extremely inconvenient, so I attempted to change the date. The company was radio silent from thereon out. Any attempt I made to confirm my test date failed, so I showed up on the day that was officially given to me, only to find out that my test date had indeed been changed, and had already passed. after attempting to tap into their customer service, I received no sympathy and a referral to the "terms and conditions". To add insult to injury, it took them two weeks to send this utterly useless and robotic reply to my genuine problem. It was only then that I stumbled upon these reviews of very similar experiences, so let me reiterate - THEY ARE A SCAM!

Total and utter scam

Total and utter scam

Do not use this company. They take your money and do not respond to any messages for the free resits. What a total waste of £45. Should be shut down and taken off Google search. Very disappointed that I was taken in. Beware - they come up in first search when you type 'theory test' into google. DO NOT use them. Book via DVLA official site.

Please don’t use this Scam company!!!!

Please don’t use this Scam company!!!!! I have sent numerous requests for information and got nothing back. Initially they said the details that I had provided were incorrect, presumably to waste time. The date I selected for the theory test has passed but I’m going to hound them. I’ve booked on the DVLA website now. I’ve wasted my valuable time and money. How can they be stopped from trading?

TOTAL SCAM!!!

TOTAL SCAM!!!
I wish I had read these reviews before paying £45 for unlimited theory tests for my son. We booked our ideal date and time. The booking came back from these cowboys nearly 2 weeks later than our request. Obviously, we'd already paid at this point. The date wasn't convenient, so went to cancel and re-book. The system will only let me re-book if I pay again. Errrr, I've already paid £45 and not had one test yet!!!!! I've sent numerous messages, tickets etc to them, but they NEVER respond. No phone number!!!! It is absolutely impossible to get a response!!! I am very angry and will be taking this further. They should not be allowed to trade. They're literally doing a runner with peoples money!!!!

This website is a rip off!

My son lost my provisional license before the test.
We have been trying to re-book another theory test through this website but not received any response.
This website have no contact details for support.
Trading standards will be hearing about this.
A total waste of time and money!

It's really bad

It's really bad. They say they are gonna give you unlimited test but when you ask they give so many reasons and after 1 time they dont reply you. When you want to give a review in their site they dont approve it so that no one can read the review.

Wont recommend it to anyone seriously.

This is a scam

This is a scam, this website charges double for one theory test when the official government website is gov.uk and only charges £23. There are no guarantees that they will rebook the test again if you fail and there is no reason you should have to pay for this extortionate fee. F***ing fuming that this has happened, has delayed my whole process of passing my test as a learner. Do not take your theory with these guys, end of.

Awful

Awful.
Do not book with them. No number to contact them. They booked me in and my name wasn't down. After several emails, they got back to me saying that they'd booked me for a date before the one I received confirmation for and that they couldn't rebook me as I didn't follow the T&C which state that you are supposed to do 10 of their practice tests before you go for the real thing. They do not say that in their website or advertisement.
I guess that's how they make their money; by charging you double the price on the government site and then not rebooting you another test.

DO NOT BOOK YOUR THEORY TEST THROUGH…

DO NOT BOOK YOUR THEORY TEST THROUGH THIS WEBSITE!! Absolute scam and I am so shocked that it is still running. I am disappointed that I did not read their reviews before booking. It was after I booked it that all my friends and colleagues said that you should ALWAYS book through the dvla government website. I have been trying to get in touch with 'thetheorytest' all week to reschedule my test and I have not gotten one reply. They also don't provide a telephone number which is extremely suspicious. I paid £45 pounds for this and when you book through the government website its only £23. I hope that people become more aware of how terrible this business is and that no one has to be in the same position as we all are as it is extremely stressful trying to get in contact and getting NO RESPONSE!!!!!!! I also have my doubts whether this is a legit business. I used to live in Manchester and the area were they say their 'business' is located is a student living area. Also, any positive comments on this, not that there are many, are definitely from friends of the people working here because every single negative review I have read could not be any more accurate.
