Falmouth Test Centres and Pass Rates
Camborne is the single centre for Falmouth, seeing 6,271 tests between 2025 and 2026 with a pass rate of 40.6%, well below the national average. Women manage 39.8% and men 41.4%, while automatic learners achieve just 30%. The roads here include narrow Cornish lanes with high hedges blocking sightlines, steep hills through old mining villages, and the A30 with fast-moving holiday traffic during summer months. You'll wait about 6 weeks for a test, which is relatively quick, but the challenging local geography keeps pass rates low. Without other options nearby, prepare thoroughly for the specific conditions you'll face.
