How do you work out practical test pass rates?
There are two ways to work out pass rates; either how many PUPILS passed their test, or how many of the TESTS TAKEN were passed.
The DSA work on the number of TESTS TAKEN - so do I.
So pass rates are always a contentious subject with Driving Instructors. Their adverts say things like "High pass rate" or "Excellent pass rate" or "Best pass rate in the area" - notice how vague this all sounds.
Ever thought why they never print their actual pass rate figures?
The D.S.A. national pass rate is around 43%, (Worthing is 46.65%).
So, why am I brave enough to print my pass rate figures?
Because my pass rate is always above the average 43%

And if my pass rates are above average, other Instructors have to have a pass rate below the average - would you learn with them?
