Cramlington Test Centres and Pass Rates
Blythe offers better chances than Gateshead among Cramlington's two centres, achieving 47.2% versus 37.4% across the area's 14,602 tests from 2024 to 2025. The Northumberland location involves coastal roads around Blyth with its busy port traffic, plus the challenging approaches to Newcastle via the A1. Women performed notably better at Blyth with 49.7% compared to men's 45.3%, reversing the usual pattern. However, automatic learners struggled more at Gateshead with just 30.9% compared to Blyth's 35.9%, likely reflecting the demanding hill starts and stop-start traffic around Tyneside's industrial areas.
