6,392 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 47.5%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.

How long is the wait at Bodmin driving test centre?
If you book at Bodmin on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 11 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
