Rayleigh Test Centres and Pass Rates

Basildon has the edge over Southend-on-Sea for Rayleigh learners. Its pass rate of 49% is close to the national figure of 50%, and a typical wait there is about a month, against about 4 months at Southend. Southend's pass rate of 47% isn't far off average, but its automatic pass rate of 41% is below Britain's average automatic pass rate of 45%. If both are practical for you, Basildon's wait is the real difference.
