Heckmondwike Test Route

You won’t be able to find an up-to-date test route for Heckmondwike, as the DVSA stopped publishing them to prevent candidates from practicing before exams. You can, however, get a rough idea of what to expect by looking at videos of Heckmondwike test routes on YouTube or by downloading our sample Heckmondwike drivng test routes. Before you start panicking, remember that your lessons will have prepared you for your big day. In fact, your instructor will have introduced you to the roads and features that they think are most likely to show up on your route. 

Heckmondwike Test Pass Rates

Who doesn’t love to look at statistics? Whether its pass rates by area or in general—we’ve got you covered. There’s certainly a lot to take in. Did you know, for example, that the national average is 45.9%? This increases slightly for those of you in Yorkshire and the Humber up to 47.1%. If you’re more interested in Heckmondwike, you can view pass rates from the last five years in the following table:

2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20
41.5% 39.8% 40.3% 38.2% 40.9%


We can see why someone might be a little underwhelmed by Heckmondwike’s pass rates—they are lower than the national average. However, you should bear in mind that pass rates themselves don’t control your likelihood of passing. When it comes down to it, you’re more likely to pass because of your own ability than some random statistic.

What To Expect On The Day

Upon finishing your driving lessons, you’ll be set to take your test. On the day itself, all you've got to do is get to Heckmondwike 10 minutes early with your provisional. Your practical test will then proceed with: 

  • An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
  • Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
  • Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
  • Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination

Once you get back to Heckmondwike test centre, the examiner will tell you whether you've passed or failed. Regardless of your result, the examiner will walk you through the feedback sheet—looking at any particular faults you made (if any). If you were successful in your endeavour, you'll receive your test pass certificate and hand over your provisional in order to send off for your new licence. 

But What If I Fail?

It’s quite common for students to fail their practical test, so you don’t have to worry about being the only one. The important thing to do is listen to the feedback given to you by your examiner, and use it to improve your driving in time for your next test. If you'd like to get booked back in, PassMeFast can speed up the process by fast-tracking your test. To get started, give us a call on 0333 123 4949, or contact us via our website to get started.
