Let&rsquo;s hope for an improvement when the next set of stats are published&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tYes&hellip; the picturesque borough of Hillingdon has a dark secret. Its residents are dreadful at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/uxbridge-driving-test-centre_173_U\">driving theory test! Uxbridge<\/a> in particular has dragged the borough down the driving theory test pass rates ranking chart following an analysis of nearly two million tests taken in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAccording to recently released stats, just 15,756 learner drivers managed to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\"> pass the driving theory test<\/a>, out of 36,149 who took it, representing a pitiful 43.5% success rate &ndash; well below the national average of 49%.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Bradford spares Hillingdon&rsquo;s driving theory test blushes<\/strong> Only <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/bradford-driving-test-centre_19_B\">Bradford<\/a> kept Hillingdon from the bottom of the chart, with the Yorkshire city&rsquo;s learner drivers recording a dreadful 42.8% pass rate.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe data highlights that in Uxbridge &ndash; as with everywhere else in the country &ndash; it&rsquo;s the men that are doing the damage. Of the 18,352 gents that took the test, a paltry 7,767 were successful, representing a 42.3% pass rate.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFewer women took the test, but still managed a higher pass percentage than the men. 7,958 out of 17,796 achieved a pass, representing a 44.7% success rate.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>National average less than 50%<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn Britain, 1,915,343 driving theory tests were attempted&hellip; 939,071 passed. The highest pass rate award goes to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/tunbridge-wells-driving-test-centre_189_T\">Kent town of Tunbridge Wells<\/a>, which recorded an impressive 58.2% pass rate &ndash; well above the national average of 49%<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn London,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/southwark-driving-test-centre_128_S\"> Southwark <\/a>achieved the highest pass percentage rate, with learner drivers recording a respectable 52.9% success rate.
