DVSA reports an overall pass rate of 41.9% at Nottingham (Chilwell) for 2024-2025. This describes recorded tests at the centre and does not predict an individual learner's result.

Start by getting comfortable on the A52 dual carriageway east of the city so you can handle speed changes and lane discipline. Watch tram tracks around the city centre and Victoria Centre, they catch learners out when turning or pulling away. Practice roundabouts at Clifton Bridge and the large junctions near Queens Drive, as these often feature on local test routes. Try short runs through Lenton and Beeston to build confidence with parked cars and narrow streets. Work on independent driving that uses signposts for Nottingham, A60 and A52 so you can follow routes without constant prompts.
