Stirling Test Centres and Pass Rates
Stirling's challenging Highland gateway location produced contrasting results between its 2 centres, with Grangemouth achieving 46.4% compared to Stirling's tough 38.7% across 8,726 tests from 2024 to 2025. Stirling's historic town center brings narrow medieval streets, steep castle approaches, and busy university traffic, while Grangemouth's petrochemical port layout offers wider industrial roads despite heavy lorry traffic. Women achieved 39.1% and 47.1% respectively, with men at 38.2% and 45.8%. Automatic pass rates of 28.1% at Stirling and 36.4% at Grangemouth suggest the area's hills and frequent stop-start conditions around Central Scotland's transport networks challenge all learners.
