Crawley reviews: what to check before your test
Learner reviews can help you spot practical details such as finding the entrance and arriving on time. A review of one test is not a measure of examiner leniency or your chance of passing. We do not publish a verified review rating for Crawley.
For context, the DVSA recorded 11,305 tests here with an overall pass rate of 42.7% in April 2025 - March 2026. The first-attempt pass rate was 42.7%. Compare those figures with the full statistics above, rather than a handful of anecdotes.
- Check the review date and that it refers to this exact test-centre location.
- Use your booking confirmation to confirm arrival instructions and required documents.
- Ask your instructor which local roads and junctions to practise. Conditions and test routes can change.

What the Pass Rate Can Tell You
