The numbers in context
In the year from April 2025 to March 2026, Thurso recorded 162 car practical tests and 102 passes. These figures include all attempts and transmissions, not only first-time or manual tests.
In 2024-25, the published centre rate was 58.1%, from 167 tests. Changes can reflect the mix of learners and tests, so they should not be treated as a change in difficulty.

Build training around your needs
Where you take the test is only part of the plan. Start with your current experience, the situations you find difficult and how much time you can realistically make for lessons.

Use the course planner for an explained starting range, then have a driving assessment before agreeing the final hours. Instructor coverage, lesson dates and test availability need to be confirmed separately.
