Hawkwell driving schools : DSA Approved Driving Instructor:   pass rate

Alan's driving test pass rate: 

61% of our pupils passed 1st time

Alan's driving test pass rate, of which he is very proud, for his pupils over the last few years:

The last 4 years - tests taken versus tests passed:

1st January 2008 to 31st December 2008 = 74%
1st January 2009 to 31st December 2009 = 64%
1st January 2010 to 31st December 2010 = 65%
1st January 2011 to 31st December 2011 = 68%

Since 1st Jan 2010 we have kept more detailed records, and so have been able to break down Alan's pupil pass rate a little more:

So between 1st jan 2010 and 31st Dec 2011, of pupils who have taken a test:

61% passed 1st time
27% passed 2nd time
4% passed 3rd time
(no-one has taken more than 3 tests to pass)

 

In comparison we have included the DSA pass rates for the test centres that Alan uses most (below):

Basildon:
01/04/2008 to 31/03/2009 = 34.3%
01/04/2009 to 31/03/2010 = 36.8%
01/04/2010 to 31/03/2011 = 39.1%

Clacton-on-Sea:
01/04/2008 to 31/03/2009 = 46.0%
01/04/2009 to 31/03/2010 = 42.2%
01/04/2010 to 31/03/2011 = 44.2%

 

We have also included a link below to the official DSA statistics, which break down tests into different categories, but we are unable to interpret some of them satisfactorily - good luck if you try.
