Default OK folks, gimme some advice re: getting my test passed!

Right..... I ran out of cash early this year and stopped doing lessons but I was close to being ready for doing the test. So my dilemma is this: do I spend a couple of hundred quid out of my January student loan installment and buy either 10 lessons and book a test or a crash course, or do I just book a test for sometime next year and fit in the lessons that I can in the mean time?

I will have around £900 to spend in April so if I get my license before that I can get an ok first car, maybe an XR2 or an XR3, or if I can find a decent one, I'd like a mark 2 Escy.

I'm 22 btw.

depends on how bad you wanna pass i guess

i was 100% determined to pass as soon as I could, so I passed when I was 17, despite full time college.

so I think I would book for sometime nx year, save the money you get in april for a car (insurance will cost you this tho) and fit in what lessons you can.

I've been dying to pass for ages mate I'm just shit with money. If I had the £900 I could spend £500 and get an older car in good nick couldn't I? I'd pay the insurance monthly btw.
