In 2024-25, the published centre rate was 37.7%, from 11,638 tests. Changes can reflect the mix of learners and tests, so they should not be treated as a change in difficulty.

A percentage is not your personal chance of passing. The test standard is the same. Your preparation, familiarity with the area and ability to drive independently are more useful things to focus on.
