Cranbrook Test Centres and Pass Rates
Cranbrook's single centre at Tunbridge Wells achieved a 58.9% pass rate from 4,887 tests between 2024 and 2025, well above the national average. The Kent location benefits from a mix of quieter suburban roads and more challenging town centre driving through Tunbridge Wells' historic streets and complex mini-roundabouts. Men slightly outperformed women with 59.4% compared to 58.2%, while automatic learners did particularly well with a 59.2% pass rate. The rolling Kent countryside means dealing with some hills, but generally less demanding than major urban centres.
