What learners should know about Alnwick

  • Pass rates at Alnwick run ahead of the UK average — but don't take that as licence to under-prepare. Centres with higher pass rates often still fail learners on the same fundamentals (observation, signalling, junctions).
  • The first-time pass rate of 59.8% suggests this centre is reasonably forgiving for well-prepared candidates on their first attempt.
  • Always book your test through the official DVSA booking service (gov.uk). Be wary of third-party sites charging premium fees for the same booking.
