What this pass rate really means

Even a solid pass rate at Sidcup doesn't mean the test is harder to pass here. Busy urban centres like this one test huge numbers of candidates - and a lot of them book the test with too few lessons, or sit it for the very first time - while the roads are dense, fast-changing and demanding. All of that pulls the centre-wide average down.

What actually decides your result is being properly prepared for these specific roads. That is exactly what our lessons around Sidcup are built for - so well-prepared TOFU learners pass here regardless of the headline number.
