Waiting times at Aberdeen North

The reported wait was 15 weeks in July 2026. It is a reported centre figure, not a promise of when a test will be available.

The pass rate was 48.2% from 3,906 tests in April 2025 - March 2026.

What a lower rate actually means

Busier roads and trickier junctions push the rate down. About 36 people still pass here every week, and they practised the same roads you can.

National pass rates also move with the calendar - see UK seasonality.
