About this test centre

Bishopbriggs LGV (Glasgow): a DVSA hgv/lgv test centre in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire. Local routes, local traffic patterns, no national standard for what "harder" or "easier" looks like beyond what the numbers below show. Sample size: 6.7K tests over 2007-08-2010-11. Enough that comparisons hold up; small enough that a quiet month or a route being temporarily diverted can show in the data.

The lower half of the UK by pass rate: Bishopbriggs LGV (Glasgow) ranks #86 of 124 hgv/lgv centres at 56.9%, 3.3 points below the national figure of 60.2%. First-attempt data for Bishopbriggs LGV (Glasgow) 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.
