On the marking sheet

Every centre in Barraigh marks the same sheet, so the choice between them counts for less than whether junctions, observation is solid. There are 15 categories on that sheet.

Take junctions, observation. Mechanical full-head turn missing or timed too early. Eyes scanned but did not register an approaching vehicle. Most of the argument about what is a minor and what is a serious comes down to cases like that one, so it is worth knowing which side of the line yours falls on before an examiner decides it for you.

Full head turn at every junction. Hold the look until you have processed both directions. Time the look so it gives usable information for the move you are about to make. Free to use, no sign up. Everything for the day itself is on the practical test hub.

About these statistics

Pass rates shown above use the latest DVSA reporting period for each centre. Rates are volume-weighted across the city, larger centres carry proportionally more weight than smaller ones. Centres with fewer than 1,000 tests in the current period are flagged as low-sample to avoid statistically noisy comparisons. Always factor in your own preparation, instructor recommendations, and route familiarity, pass rates are a useful signal, not a guarantee.
