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. pass rate for Worthing in 2008-9 was 49.95% and my pass rates for the last few years are listed below.
