1. Request

At Clacton-on-Sea test centre (103 - 105 Carnarvon Road, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, CO15 6PR) for the car category practical test what are the number of tests conducted, failed and passed for candidates at each of the time slots throughout the day? I would like this information for the years 2010, 2011 and 2012.

2. Response

As of today the test centre offers tests at 8.40am, 9.37am, 10.44am, 11.41am, 1.33pm, 2.30pm, 3.27pm.

I appreciate these times may have changed from year to year but a breakdown of these times for each year, even if they don’t line up, would be useful. If it makes it easier for yourselves I would be happy to accept results categorised in the following time slots 8-10am, 10.01-12am, 12.01-2pm, 2.01-4pm et cetera.

The table below shows the number of car practical tests conducted and passed at Clacton-on-Sea test centre by time slot for the last three calendar years.
