Perth Test Centres and Pass Rates

Men significantly outperformed women at Perth with 51.2% versus 40.7%, one of the larger gender gaps you'll see. The single centre on Arran Road handled 2,606 tests from 2024 to 2025 with a 46% overall pass rate, right around the national average. Perth's mix of narrow city centre streets, the challenging Tay bridge approaches, and rural Perthshire roads with limited passing opportunities create varied test conditions. Automatic learners passed at 35.7%, struggling more than manual drivers with the area's frequent hill starts and tight maneuvering around the historic city centre.
