Arbroath

How To Get There

Getting to Arbroath test centre for the first time doesn’t have to be a trial by fire or a headache-inducing ordeal. Buy yourself a sat nav and use it to follow these directions. Once you’ve been around the area a few times, you can challenge yourself by heading to Arbroath without any help!

A Bit More About Arbroath

As you can imagine, it gets pretty busy around the Arbroath test centre due to the high volume of locals heading to the Asda on a daily basis. As a result, it doesn’t really matter when your test is, as you’ll likely be facing steady streams of traffic. All this really means is that your clutch control skills will need to be on point!

You’ll be guided away from the Asda through the town of Arbroath, where the examiner will be carefully monitoring your hazard perception skills. They’ll also be watching to see how well you adapt to the transition between different speed systems—taking you away from the town centre and towards busier roads like the A92.

As you’re probably aware, you’ll need to demonstrate one of the manoeuvres during your test. Where you do this will depend on the examiner—they might pick one of the local car parks in Arbroath, or take you to an area like Carnoustie.

Arbroath Test Pass Rates

Before we get into the nitty gritty, we’d first like to emphasise that you shouldn’t take pass rates too seriously. It doesn’t matter how high a test centre’s pass rates are, they’re not a guarantee that you’ll pass. Your chances of success are completely dependent on how well you perform on the day.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, we can proceed onto the fun stuff! Did you know, for example, that learners in the UK have a 45.9% chance of passing their test? Learners heading to Arbroath seem to fare much better than this, however, as you can see in the table below...
