About this test centre

Perth: a DVSA motorcycle module 2 test centre in Perth, Perth and Kinross. Local routes, local traffic patterns, no national standard for what "harder" or "easier" looks like beyond what the numbers below show. Small sample warning: 172 tests across 2009-10-2010-11. The headline rate on this page is the multi-year aggregate, which is the only version of the number worth trusting at this volume.

The bottom quarter of the UK by pass rate: Perth ranks #108 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres at 67.4%, 4.8 points below the national figure of 72.2%. First-attempt data for Perth is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

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 Perth

  • Pass rate at Perth sits close to the UK average. Prepare for an ordinary level of difficulty: examiners apply the standard DVSA marking sheet, and the routes are a representative mix of local conditions.
  • Perth is a low-volume centre (172 tests on record). Period-to-period swings can look dramatic without much underlying change, read the multi-year aggregate rather than any single quarter's figure.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Perth will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • 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.
Before you drive off

Whether you pass at Perth is not decided by the centre. It is decided by the 15 things an examiner can mark you on, and junctions, observation is one of the ones that ends attempts early.

DVSA publishes all 21 vehicle safety questions in advance, 14 tell me and 7 show me. You get 2 of them on the day, one at the roadside and one while you are driving. Get one wrong or both wrong and it counts as one driving fault, not two.
