Conwy Test Centres and Pass Rates
Conwy's impressive performance comes from a single centre in Bangor, which handled 3,433 tests from 2024 to 2025. The 64.1% pass rate is excellent, likely helped by quieter North Wales roads around Anglesey and Snowdonia's foothills, though learners still need to master narrow country lanes and tourist traffic. Women slightly outperformed men here with 65.5% compared to 63.1%, while automatic drivers achieved a strong 61.9% pass rate. The rural setting means less congested urban driving but more challenging single-track roads and steep gradients.
