Bargoed Test Centres and Pass Rates
Merthyr Tydfil is the stronger of your two options, with a pass rate of 51%, right in line with Britain's average pass rate of 50%. Cardiff trails it at 47%, a little below average, and its automatic pass rate of 39% is lower again against a national automatic pass rate of 45%. Both have a typical wait of about 2 months, which means the wait won't settle it for you. If you learn around Cardiff, those are still the roads you know best, and the gap isn't big enough to make switching worthwhile.
