Two tests. Two different sets of evidence.
Practical and theory results answer different questions, so we never blend them into one ranking. Choose a test type to see the figures that belong to it.

Current centre addresses plus full official theory-test numbers, pass rates and yearly trends.
Read the numbers properly
A pass rate is context, not a promise.
Traffic, learner experience, preparation and local conditions can all affect results. Use the figures for context, not to label a centre easy or hard.
01
Start with distance
See the 10 nearest centres to your postcode. Our distance is straight-line, so check the real road journey too.
02
Check rate and volume
A rate based on many tests is usually steadier than one from a small centre. Every page shows both.
03
Treat waits as history
Published waiting times describe earlier months. Only the official booking service shows live appointments.
