I rang to make an appointment and they knew from my file exactly when that month cut-off ended, and wouldn't let me book an appt until after that date. So the system worked well (but no idea why I got a month and you got 3)

sallykate Sep 2020 11:59am, 9 Sep 2020 6,887 posts	0 sallykate I've failed twice but only by 1 (124 rather than the 125 required for a woman). Both times I had a three-month break before trying again.
