Lichfield Test Centres and Pass Rates
Lichfield's four nearby centres vary a lot, and one stands out for the wrong reasons. Wednesbury has a pass rate of 35%, which puts it among the weakest 5% of centres in Britain. Its wait is the shortest nearby at about 3 months, but that's little comfort when so many tests there end in a fail. At the other end, Burton on Trent manages 55%, comfortably above the 50% national average. Lichfield's own centre has the best automatic pass rate nearby at 46%, though it also has the longest wait, about 4 months. If you've been learning near Wednesbury and the others are within easy reach, it's worth weighing them up.
