Ppl/h skill test

Hi I have been asked a. Question by a student pilot and can’t seem to find the answer can anyone help

Is there a minimum limit to the hours flown before taking the skills test ,can it be taken before 45 hours ?

I understand that the 45 hours will need to be completed before the student can apply for his licence .

Is the skills test part of the 45 hours or is it additional ?

FCL.210.H
45 hours of instruction. A test is not considered instruction.

Requirement is as follows

25 hours of dual instruction
10 hours of supervised solo with 5 hours xc nav including 1 trip of 100nm plus 2 stops at 2 different airfields
All has to to be done on one type of machine.
Total time must be 45 hours before you can take a ST. Unless you hold a PPLA then you have a 6 hour reduction.
