The RSA Annual Report 2024 records 144,708 passes from 207,089 delivered theory tests across categories (69.9% aggregate). That figure is not a first-attempt, car-only or county pass rate.
Why Is the Fail Rate So High?
- Rely on common sense instead of studying (the questions are designed to catch assumptions)
- Only study one or two categories instead of all eight
- Read the Rules of the Road book but do not practice actual questions
- Skip mock tests entirely
How L-Plate Users Compare
L-Plate uses practice results to show weak topics and mock-test progress. It does not claim that a practice score predicts or guarantees an official test result.
What the Published Results Show
- Study all 8 categories using category practice
- Take at least 3 mock tests
- Review every wrong answer
- Study for 2-3 weeks, not just the night before
