You seriously need to try a lesson with another instructor.So my instructor is thinking of postponing my test (booked for end of sept) as he's questioning if I'm gonna be ready by then
I made 2 mistakes today during the entire lesson:
1/ checked my mirrors as I was slowing down rather than before
2/selected 4th gear rather than 2nd (but realised and corrected myself before he said anything)
He said it was a fantastic lesson, I'm making his job really easy and I need to be consistently driving well.
He's not happy about next week but said he can't reschedule for another day and just to let him know as soon as I know if I need to cancel or not.
Do not let him postpone it further! September is a few months away, and if they are your only errors then it’s not a big deal at all!

This doesn’t add up at all, those are barely mistakes and September is months away, you sound totally capable of passing and from what you post your worries are more about your instructor than the driving. For some reason this person isn’t helping your confidence.So my instructor is thinking of postponing my test (booked for end of sept) as he's questioning if I'm gonna be ready by then

Just a quick one here - you are NOT the problem. We all learn in different ways at different speeds (as this thread shows!) you’re not doing anything wrong.I'm nervous about the idea of looking for another instructor for several reasons:
- availability. My lessons are on my day off during school hours, so perfect time for me
- different instructions teach things differently, so I'm worried that would confuse me/cause a set back
- I'm worried that other instructors may not be as good
- maybe I am the problem
You’re not the problem. I think you need to be firm with him and tell him you’re not changing your test again, the last dates I saw on there were for the last week in December and they were snapped up!I'm nervous about the idea of looking for another instructor for several reasons:

Hasn't he already postponed your test once?I'm nervous about the idea of looking for another instructor for several reasons:

Babe unless you don’t try, you never know! At least have a look for an instructor, you don’t have to take the plunge. During school hours would be much easier than after 5pm or weekends as most people work, I’d actually see this as a positive for you. And what if they teach you more efficiently, effectively and build your confidence? What if you pass quicker? What if you spend less overall? So what if they spend 2 weeks checking out your knowledge and skills, they might actually be able to get you driving sooner!

I had loads of instructors too, if they annoyed me in any way I found another. I even went back to a previous one cos my new one was worse .I’m onto my fourth instructor, sod them if they aren’t right for you. There’s plenty more out there.
I had 2 different instructors. I spent a lot of money with the first one but he just kept saying I wasn't ready for my test. I then decided enough was enough and tried somebody else out, after my first lesson with him my test was booked! I do echo what other posters have said in that it sounds like your instructor is taking the mick a little. You might be pleasantly surprised if you try someone else - I'm sure there's plenty who can accommodate your time requirementsI'm nervous about the idea of looking for another instructor for several reasons:

I think so, it’s the easiest way to look for new tests quickly rather than having to log on to dvsa all the time. On Tuesday I booked a test for end of December and I’ve already got it down to start of Novemberis the testi app worth the £9.99?
