About this data

Official figures

Every number comes from DVSA’s published theory test statistics. Nothing is estimated or modelled.

Updated quarterly

DVSA refreshes the data every three months. Years run April to March, matching DVSA’s reporting.

Small centres vary

Rankings only include centres with 1,000+ tests. A handful of results can swing a small centre’s rate.

The questions are the same at every centre

Your pass rate depends on your preparation, not your postcode. Practise under real exam conditions before you book.
