Kirkcaldy Test Centres and Pass Rates
Kirkcaldy's own centre is the stronger of the two by a clear margin. Its pass rate of 51% is right around the national figure of 50%, with a typical wait of about 3½ months. Dunfermline has a shorter wait, about 2½ months, but its pass rate of 36% sits it among the bottom 5% of centres in the country, and its automatic pass rate is just 30%. Unless you've learned on Dunfermline's roads, Kirkcaldy is the better bet.
