Six or seven days. I can't imagine feeling ready to drive on the roads after that! When I was learning I had 2 lessons a week (3 hours in total) without any additional practice (boyfriend wouldn't - and still won't - let me get insured to drive his car ) and it only took me 3 months to pass my test because I picked everything up quickly.

I'd definitely recommend the pass plus course afterwards - I did my pass plus last month and it was really good to get out on the roads and do some longer journeys on more difficult roads. I'd covered most of the syllabus while I was learning (everything except motorways), but I still think that from the extra experience I got from doing pass plus I'm better equipped for driving on the roads than I was after I passed my test.
