Cornwall Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
Cornwall's two centres show a stark contrast - Penzance achieves 49.2% while Camborne struggles at just 41.3%. The 6,638 tests taken between 2024 and 2025 reveal the challenges of Cornish driving: narrow lanes with high hedges, steep coastal hills, and heavy tourist traffic in summer. Automatic learners at Penzance did particularly well with a 56.5% pass rate compared to Camborne's 30.1%. Men outperformed women at both centres, achieving 51.4% at Penzance versus 47.1% for women, and the difference was similar at busy Camborne which handled 5,967 tests.
