The Chilwell driving test centre is at Eldon Business Park on Eldon Road. The postal address is Beeston, and it sits in Broxtowe rather than the city, though it's booked as Nottingham.
9,415 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 49.9%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.
Nottingham's other centre, Colwick, is about 8 miles east, and Derby's Alvaston centre is about 8 miles west. Both are compared further down.
How long is the wait at Chilwell driving test centre?
If you book at Chilwell on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
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.
