The morning of the test

Every centre in Grimsby marks the same sheet, so the choice between them counts for less than whether mirrors, change direction is solid. There are 15 categories on that sheet.

A fair amount of what goes wrong is settled before the engine starts: the documents, the car, the 2 vehicle safety questions and whichever habit you have not drilled, mirrors, change direction being a common one. Working through it as a list beats remembering it in the car park.

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.
