Huntly 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 We do not publish a verified review rating for Huntly.
For context, the DVSA recorded 245 tests here with an overall pass rate of 63.7% in April 2025 - March 2026. The first-attempt pass rate was 62.8%. Compare those figures with the full statistics above, rather than a handful of anecdotes.

- 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.
