Pass Rates by Year

In all honesty, the pass rates here are based on very small numbers, so they don’t really give you a clear picture of how easy or hard it is to pass here. If stats are your thing, though, the positive news is that, for the last couple of years, the pass rate here has been well above the national average!

Guides and Tips

It’s time to pop your student hat on, because preparing for the theory test involves a decent amount of revision. There’s a lot of material to learn, from the Highway Code, to a strong understanding of the essential skills involved in driving. 

Don’t forget that you’ll also have to pass a hazard perception test. Clicking the mouse at random intervals will get you nowhere! And, trust us, quite a few learners have tried that one.

So, to ensure you’re doing enough revision to get yourself in a position to pass first time, dedicate plenty of time to it. Kick things off by checking out some of our favourite revision guides:
