Northumberland Test Centres and Pass Rates

Berwick-On-Tweed achieved a 54.3% pass rate, well above the national average, from 667 tests taken between 2024 and 2025. The border town's quieter roads and straightforward layout likely contribute to this success, with women and men achieving almost identical results (54.6% and 54% respectively). However, automatic drivers had a much lower success rate at just 33%, possibly reflecting the rural nature of many test routes where manual transmission skills are more commonly taught. Duns appears inactive with no tests recorded during this period, making Berwick your only realistic option in Northumberland.
