Pass Rates by Year

As you can see, the pass rates at Oban theory test centre have been steadily declining over the past few years. Thankfully, though, they still sit above the national average. What’s more, these kinds of statistics have no real impact on learners. The theory test is the same format wherever you take it, so location doesn’t affect your chances of passing.

Guides and Tips

What does affect your chances of passing the theory test is the work you put in beforehand. Please don’t stroll up to your theory test appointment having done no revision—it will not end in a pass. Putting off studying for the test will only cost you in time and money in the future, because you will very likely have to retake the test again. 

Now we’ve drilled into you the importance of revision, let’s talk about what you’re going to actually be studying. The theory test assesses your knowledge of the following topics:

• The Highway Code
• Traffic signs
• Essential driving skills
• Hazard perception

You can find all of the information you need in books and on the internet. There are even some free mock theory tests available, which provide a great way to track your progress in learning the material. 

To get started with your studying, have a look at the following resources:
