Pass rates reflect the test routes and conditions around a centre — urban centres with complex junctions typically run lower rates than rural ones — as well as the mix of candidates. A below-average rate doesn't mean you'll fail at Wednesbury: it means the routes deserve respect and mock-test practice on local roads pays off. Compare every centre on the national table.
