1. Extra time
It is possible for people with dyslexia to apply for an extra 57 minutes to complete the driving theory test. To do so, you need a signed letter from a medical or educational professional confirming that you have dyslexia (your GP or teacher should be able to help here). The letter should say what sort of additional arrangements they recommend and why. You can then contact the test agency with this information, using this address:

In some exceptional circumstances, it is possible to request a room on your own if you find the anxiety of being in a room with others too much.
