Compare test centres

Choosing between two centres

There is no catchment area for the car practical test, so most learners end up weighing two or three centres against each other. These 89 comparisons put the pass rate, the waiting time and the test volume of each pair beside one another, with a verdict worked out from the numbers rather than an opinion. The Great Britain averages to beat are 50.1% and 12.1 weeks.

Pairs are the busiest centres within the same city — the choices a learner there would realistically face. To weigh any other two centres, use pass rates and waiting times, which cover all of Great Britain.
