Hi J-zan,

Thank you for your comment. I used the verb "take" when I really meant "book". The sentence should read:

Have you booked your driving test yet?

I hope now my examples make sense.

Your second issue now.

- Yes, I have. I will take it in June. I can't do it earlier because my grandmother is visiting us this week.

I believe, what's wrong about using "will" here is it gives us the wrong idea about what the speakers really wants to say. "Will" makes the speaker sound somewhat unsure about the date, as if he could change it at any time.

I agree the example is not perfect, though. :-0
