What learners should know about Featherstone

  • Featherstone has a tougher-than-average pass rate. If you can, take at least 2–3 lessons on the actual Featherstone routes before the test — the difficulty is usually in the route, not the examiners.
  • The first-time pass rate of 37.7% is notably low — many candidates need a second attempt. Consider taking a mock test on the test routes before booking.
  • 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.
