Coventry Test Centres and Pass Rates
Coventry's own centre has one of the weakest records in Britain, with a pass rate of 40% that puts it in the bottom 5% of centres. Nuneaton is the stand-out alternative. Its pass rate of 53% is a little above the national pass rate of 50%, its automatic pass rate of 46% is the best nearby, and its typical wait of about 2 months is the shortest around. Coventry's own wait is the longest, about 2½ months. Switching does mean learning new roads, but if you can get some lessons around Nuneaton, these figures make a strong case for it. Rugby, at 51%, is another average option.
