Hythe Test Centres and Pass Rates
Neither centre near Hythe does especially well, and Folkestone is the weaker of the two. Its pass rate of 42% puts it among the lowest tenth of centres in Britain, and for automatic tests it drops further, to 34%, well under Britain's average automatic pass rate of 45%. Ashford does better with a pass rate of 46%, though that's still below the 50% average across Great Britain. Both have a typical wait of about 1½ months, so if you can get some practice around Ashford, choosing it costs you nothing in time.
