About this test centre
Weston-Super-Mare is the DVSA motorcycle module 2 test centre in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. Examiners drive a mix of the roads immediately surrounding the centre; the DVSA does not publish its test routes. 344 tests across 2009-10-2010-11. 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.
Rank: #53 of 135. Pass rate: 77%. UK average: 72.2%. That's a upper half centre by the DVSA's own published figures. For Weston-Super-Mare the DVSA suppresses first-attempt figures in DRT122C. Smaller centres get rolled up; this is one of them. The overall pass rate above is the only published figure.
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.
