What learners should know about Banff

  • Banff sits close to the UK national pass rate, so prepare expecting a normal level of difficulty — neither unusually easy nor unusually hard.
  • The first-time pass rate of 58.5% suggests this centre is reasonably forgiving for well-prepared candidates on their first attempt.
  • This is a lower-volume centre (512 tests on record) — pass rates can fluctuate more year to year than at busy urban centres because of smaller sample sizes.
  • 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.
