About this test centre

Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across England, Berwick-On-Tweed is the one covering Berwick-upon-Tweed, North East. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. 775 tests across 2017-18-2024-25. That's a small sample, and the single-period rates you'll see in the chart can swing wildly without much underlying change. The multi-year roll-up is the only stable read.

If you've been told Berwick-On-Tweed is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 85.7% is 13.5 points clear of the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%, which is rank #7 out of 135. First-attempt data for Berwick-On-Tweed is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.

What learners should know about Berwick-On-Tweed

  • Above-average pass rate at Berwick-On-Tweed doesn't mean above-average ease. The fundamentals examiners mark are the same nationally: junctions, mirrors, observation, signal timing. A 65%+ pass rate means more candidates clear those, not that the bar is lower.
  • Berwick-On-Tweed is a low-volume centre (775 tests on record). Period-to-period swings can look dramatic without much underlying change, read the multi-year aggregate rather than any single quarter's figure.
  • Ask any instructor working Berwick-On-Tweed about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Berwick-On-Tweed, cancellations appear on the official DVSA booking service throughout the day. Check at off-peak times (early morning, late evening) for the best chance of catching one.
