Pass Rate at Duns Driving Test Centre

The pass rate at Duns cannot be reliably calculated due to the tiny number of driving tests conducted monthly. Each month only 10 tests are conducted, out of which examiners pass 7. During a 4 month period, from April to August 2016, 41 driving tests were taken. From this number, 30 of them passed. Giving the test centre an extremely high pass rate of 73%.

However this pass rate should be taken as a sign that that test is extremely easy here, there is not enough data to reliably calculate a pass rate, as only 10 tests are conducted monthly. Compared to to other test centres which conducted hundreds.
