St Andrews Test Centres and Pass Rates
Dundee achieved an impressive 60.3% pass rate well above the national average, with 5,851 tests taken from 2024 to 2025 in the St Andrews area. The Tayside city benefits from wide Victorian boulevards, the manageable Kingsway ring road, and less congested traffic than Glasgow or Edinburgh, creating favorable learning conditions. Men achieved 63.2% compared to women's 57.1%, while automatic drivers managed 54%. The nearby coastal roads and Angus countryside provide excellent practice areas, though the Tay Bridge approaches and Perth Road's busy student traffic around the university can add complexity to test routes.
