Driving Test Centre Pass Rates.
Here is a question for you all, What do you think the national average pass rate is?. Well if you guessed correctly at 42.8 then give yourself a pat on the back.
Has that surprised you?, did you think it would be higher or lower than that?.
Here are the 2005-2006 pass rates for some of Manchester’s local Driving Test Centres.
Whalley Range - 41.75
Buxton - 44.10
Reddish - 47.15
Sale - 44.39
Cheetham Hill - 48.25
Hyde - 39.34
So as you can see they are all pretty similar, and all but Hyde and Whalley Range are higher than the national average. Why??, well could be any number of factors really, the Test Routes used, the standard of pupil presented for test, the standard of the Driving Instructor etc etc.
Just out of curiosity I also found the Test centres with the highest and lowest published Pass Rates, the lowest I could find is Woodgreen 26.7 (it’s in London somewhere) and the highest is Portree 63.6 (on the isle of Skye)
