What learners should know about Galashiels L & LGV

  • The first-time pass rate of 0% is notably low — many candidates need a second attempt. Consider taking a mock test on the test routes before booking.
  • This is a lower-volume centre (68 tests on record) — pass rates can fluctuate more year to year than at busy urban centres because of smaller sample sizes.
