About this test centre

Wick is in Wick, Highland (KW1 4NB) 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. Wick is a low-volume centre, 330 tests through 2011-12-2024-25. PassRates aggregates the multi-year total because the per-quarter figures are too noisy to draw conclusions from in isolation.

Out of 135 UK motorcycle module 2 test centres, Wick ranks 72, which lands it in the lower half nationally. The 73.9% pass rate is 1.7 points above the UK figure of 72.2%. First-attempt data for Wick 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 Wick

  • Wick 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.
  • With 330 tests on record at Wick, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • Ask any instructor working Wick about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • Don't pay third-party sites for booking access at Wick. Use gov.uk/book-driving-test directly; cancellations show up on the same booking flow.
