3 months is too short - my children and their friends took their tests while still at school, and hardly drove in the following three months.
Equally lots of people may drive their parents car while in 6th form, but then don't drive for a few years while at University. A little while ago I had a colleague who hadn't driven for 10 years go and buy a car. Fortunately he decided to also invest in some refresher lessons.
