Yes.

But sometimes it also depend on individual instructors. I have heard of private instructors who only take in students who have completed their BTT and FTT, for whatever reasons...

True. So I think for private, the "steps" should be book test date, take BTT and FTT, then nearer test date start practical lessons.

Yea, think you should book for your practical test date first, the wait will be a few months. In the meantime, start scouting around for instructors.

BTT = Basic Theory Test
FTT = Final Theory Test

Hmm, I'm taking with school, not quite sure of the procedures for private bookings. If you already have an instructor, why not you ask him about it? Or perhaps the folks here who did private can shed some light...
