About this test centre

Kings Lynn sits in King's Lynn, Norfolk, just inside the PE30 1BJ postcode. It's a DVSA-run motorcycle module 1 test centre, and the routes from here work outward into the streets and arterial roads that learners from King's Lynn tend to know already. Sample size: 5.4K tests over 2017-18-2024-25. Enough that comparisons hold up; small enough that a quiet month or a route being temporarily diverted can show in the data.

76.9% at Kings Lynn, against a UK motorcycle module 1 average of 73%. That puts the centre 3.9 points above the national figure and ranks it #20 of 72 motorcycle module 1 centres in the DVSA's network. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Kings Lynn in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

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 Kings Lynn

  • Kings Lynn doesn't deviate much from the national curve, so generic preparation advice (mock tests, mirror discipline, junction observation) applies here in the same shape it would anywhere.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Kings Lynn area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
