What learners should know about Buckie
- Pass rates at Buckie 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).
- This is a lower-volume centre (549 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.
