Chester Test Centres and Pass Rates
Chester has the highest pass rate of the three centres nearby, but at 47% it's still below Britain's average pass rate of 50%. Its automatic pass rate of 40% is also the best nearby, yet it falls short of the 45% national average for automatic tests. The other two are weaker. Speke, with a pass rate of 41%, ranks among the bottom 5% of centres in Britain, and Widnes is in the bottom tenth. Chester also has the shortest typical wait, about 1½ months, against about 2 months at Widnes, which makes it the sensible choice for most learners here.
