Nearest Test Centre: Farnborough
The nearest DVSA test centre is Farnborough, about 1.9 miles away, so most tests are local and easy to reach. Expect a mix of suburban roads and A-road sections on the test routes, and the centre handles around 3026 tests a year.

Pass Rate Analysis
Farnborough test centre has a pass rate of 49.7%, above the national average of 47.3% (Data source: DVSA, 2024-2025). Male candidates at Farnborough pass at 52% while female candidates pass at 47.4% (Data source: DVSA, 2024-2025). Nearby Guildford posts 46.3% and Chertsey (London) 46.8%, both below Farnborough's rate (Data source: DVSA, 2024-2025). The local advantage likely comes from short, varied routes close to Aldershot rather than long motorway sections.
Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet residential streets off Queens Road or Grosvenor Road to build confidence before tackling the A325. Practice joining and leaving the A331 at peak times, since that junction gets busy with commuter traffic. Spend time at town-centre roundabouts and the traffic-light junctions near the high street, they test observation and lane discipline. Work on controlled stops and hill starts around military estate roads where gradients and narrow lanes can catch learners out. Try mock tests that include a run to Farnborough so you know the route and typical hazards.

When you're prepared book your practical test at Farnborough, which is about 1.9 miles from Aldershot.
