A swap only works when one of you moves forward and the other moves back, so the date somebody cannot use is worth as much as the date somebody wants. DVSA will exchange the two bookings over the phone, free. What they will not do is put the two of you in touch, and that is the part this page is for. Not ready for your Cambridge (Brookmount Court) date? How to postpone it without losing the fee.

Driving around Cambridge (Brookmount Court) before test day
Nobody can give you the examiner's route. DVSA stopped publishing routes in 2010, and four tests in five are led by a sat nav the examiner sets up, so there is no sequence to learn. The roads are a different matter: which roundabout, which multi-lane junction, where the limit changes. Instructors film those, and watching them is the cheapest practice available.

Swaps at Cambridge (Brookmount Court), month by month
Most people know the month they need rather than the date. Each of these says how much of that month can still be swapped into under the ten working day rule, and which centres a Cambridge (Brookmount Court) booking can move to. DVSA releases slots in a rolling 24-week window, so these are the months anybody can be holding a test in.
Three quick questions
One each on the car safety questions, road signs and warning lights: the parts of the test you can learn off the page. Have a guess, then open the answer.
-
Show me, tell me
Can a "show me" question fail your test on its own?
- Yes, if you get it wrong at all
- Yes, if your driving becomes dangerous or potentially dangerous while you do it
- Only if you also get the "tell me" question wrong
- No, never
Show the answer
Yes, if your driving becomes dangerous or potentially dangerous while you do it. A wrong answer is one driving fault. You fail if your driving is dangerous or potentially dangerous while you answer the "show me" question, for example if you look down too long or drift.
-
Road signs
A direction sign with a brown background points to what?
- A primary route
- A motorway
- A tourist attraction
- A diversion
Show the answer
A tourist attraction. Brown signs direct you to tourist attractions and facilities.
-
Warning lights
A red warning light comes on while you are driving. What does red generally mean?
- Have it checked at your next service
- Something is switched on
- Stop as soon as it is safe and find out why
- Nothing; red lights are only tested at start-up
Show the answer
Stop as soon as it is safe and find out why. Red means a problem that should not be driven on: oil pressure, brakes, overheating, charging. Stop when safe and find out why.
Swapping at Cambridge (Brookmount Court): questions
Can I swap a test at Cambridge (Brookmount Court) for one at another centre?
Only if it is the same centre, one of your three nearest, or a centre you first booked at. A swap moves both learners, so it has to work from each side. From Cambridge (Brookmount Court) the list is Bury St Edmunds. Anywhere else is refused on the call.
What is the pass rate at Cambridge (Brookmount Court)?
53.8% of car tests at Cambridge (Brookmount Court) ended in a pass between April 2025 and March 2026, from 13,689 tests. The national average over the same period was 50%, so Cambridge (Brookmount Court) is 3.8 points above it, ranking 126th of 314 centres in Great Britain. These are DVSA's own published figures and they describe the centre, not you.
How long is the wait for a driving test at Cambridge (Brookmount Court)?
24.3 weeks. That is the median wait between booking and taking a test for people who sat one at Cambridge (Brookmount Court) in September 2026, from DVSA's own monthly figures, so half of them waited longer. The national median that month was 12.4 weeks. 4.2% of the slots in DVSA's 24-week booking window here were still free to book. A swap sidesteps that queue entirely, because you are moving into a date another learner has already booked.
How long does it take to find a swap at Cambridge (Brookmount Court)?
That depends on how many learners hold a slot here and whether any of them want the opposite of what you want. DVSA runs about 263 car tests a week at Cambridge (Brookmount Court), so the pool holding a slot is large. Join the list at the top of this page and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. A three-way chain often resolves faster than waiting for a perfect pair.
Does swapping at Cambridge (Brookmount Court) cost anything?
No. You exchange slots rather than rebooking, so you keep your original booking reference and payment. Matching here is free, and DVSA does the swap on the phone at no charge.
How much notice do I need?
At least 10 full working days before whichever of the two tests comes first. Monday to Saturday count as working days; Sundays and public holidays do not, so the real deadline falls earlier than the calendar suggests.
Can my instructor arrange it for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026 only the candidate can book or manage their own test, and that applies to instructors too. Yours can sit next to you while you make the call.
Is this the same as a cancellation app for Cambridge (Brookmount Court)?
No. A cancellation app scans the booking service for unclaimed appointments, and since 12 May 2026 learners are not allowed to use services that do that. A swap works the other way round: the date you want is already booked by another learner, the two of you agree to exchange, and you make the call yourself.
Your Cambridge (Brookmount Court) date is somebody's dream date
Somewhere there is a learner holding the slot you want, who would rather have yours. Join the list and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. Free, no card, nothing to pay when it works.
