Pass Rates by Year

The pass rates at the Tongue theory test centre over the last couple of years may fill you with confidence, but it’s important to remember that this is based on a small pool of data. For example, in the 2018-19 period only 47 tests were conducted here.

As a matter of fact, we often tell learners not to give pass rates much weight in general. They have very little bearing on how well you personally are likely to do on test day. The only thing you can really rely on to improve your chances of passing the theory test is doing plenty of revision!

Guides and Tips

It may surprise you to learn that more than half the people who sit the theory test fail on their first attempt. A big reason for this is that learners assume the test involves simply answering a few basic driving questions. This is not the case!

On test day you will have to complete both a multiple choice section and a hazard perception test. The former is made up of 50 questions and you must answer at least 43 correctly to pass. There are 75 points available on the hazard perception test, and you must score at least 44 (by correctly spotting developing hazards) to pass. Failing either section will result in an overall fail on the theory test.

To make sure you know your stuff on the big day, you need to study The Highway Code, traffic signs, essential driving skills and the art of hazard perception. Have a look at the list of resources below to find a revision approach that suits you.
