Pass Rates by Year

These pass rates are pretty decent! Every single one over the past 7 years or so has been above the national average. While this is certainly a positive thing, it doesn't necessarily mean that your chances of passing the theory test are higher if you take it at the Galashiels test centre. The test they provide is the same one offered everywhere else! How you do on the day depends on the work you put in beforehand.

Guides and Tips

A driving licence opens up a whole new world of freedom and independence, so it really is worth putting the effort in to earn one. Most learners think the practical test is the main challenge (and in many ways, it is), but don’t underestimate the theory test! Less than 50% of learners manage to pass on their first attempt and retaking the test involves even more of your time and money.

To get it done and dusted on the first go, you must do some revision. In fact, you must do quite a bit of revision. You see, the test is made up of two parts—a multiple choice section and a hazard perception test—and you must pass both in order to earn your theory test pass certificate.
