A pass rate for September of 45% and one for October of 43% (those are completely imaginary figures, by the way) does not say anything at all about the change to the driving test. Absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, if one test centre quotes 45% and another one 43%, it does not mean it is easier to pass at the one with the higher figure. Pass rates can vary hour-to-hour, day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, year-to-year. They can vary by as much as \u00b110% (that&#8217;s between 35% and 55% if the average is 45%) over months without any change having been made to the system\u00a0or any recognised problems with specific examiners being identified.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a learner who is searching for this information, the only thing you need to be worried about is whether your instructor is teaching you properly. If he\/she is, then the pass rates are completely irrelevant. It is down to how well you drive on the day, and little else.<\/p>\n<p>I really hope it isn&#8217;t instructors looking for the information, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of hits I&#8217;m getting based on this search term (since the introduction of independent driving on October 4th) is incredible!
