About this test centre

Launceston is in Launceston, Cornwall and runs DVSA motorcycle module 2 tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. 369 tests across 2009-10-2023-24. That's a small sample, and the single-period rates you'll see in the chart can swing wildly without much underlying change. The multi-year roll-up is the only stable read.

Out of 135 UK motorcycle module 2 test centres, Launceston ranks 89, which lands it in the lower half nationally. The 71% pass rate is 1.2 points below the UK figure of 72.2%. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Launceston 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.
