Wellingborough Test Centres and Pass Rates
Wellingborough's own centre is the standout. Its pass rate is 60%, well above the 50% average across Great Britain, and its automatic pass rate of 58% is the best nearby. The trade-off is time, since its wait is the longest here, at about 4 months. Kettering has the lowest pass rate at 49%, which is essentially average, and it has the shortest wait at about a month. Neither is a bad choice, and the right one is likely the one closest to where you've had your lessons.
