Statistics Are Discouraging: Why Do Only 17% Pass the SC Exam on the First Try?

 

For many, the driver's license exam is a real challenge. According to data from the Main Service Center (GSC), in 2025, only 17% of candidates successfully passed the practical exam on their first attempt. This statistic points to serious problems with the quality of preparation, and it can be demotivating.

 

But at the Association of Driving Schools, we prove that this statistic is not a verdict. We know how to achieve success and why our methodology changes the discouraging numbers.

 

Why Do So Few Students Pass the Exam on the First Try?

 

The low success rate is not a coincidence. The reasons lie in insufficient preparation, which leads to:

 

• Lack of confidence. If a student hasn't mastered the material, the fear of making a mistake and a lack of confidence on the road become their main enemies.
• Insufficient practice. Some driving schools provide only the minimum number of hours, not taking into account the individual needs of the student.
• Poor quality of instruction. Unfortunately, not all instructors and teachers focus on imparting real skills and the psychological resilience needed on the road.

 

How the “Association of Driving Schools” Changes the Statistics

 

At our driving school, we don't just prepare you for the exam. We prepare you for real life on the road. This allows our students not only to successfully pass their exams but also to become safe and responsible drivers. Our numbers speak for themselves: 90% of our graduates get their Category “B” license on the first try.

 

Here's what makes our methodology so effective:

 

• Quality, not just hours. We understand that every person is different. Although we adhere to the recommended minimum (40 hours on a manual and 38 on an automatic), you can always take additional lessons to feel completely ready. Your confidence is our priority.
• True professionals. Our theory teachers and driving instructors are experienced specialists who impart not just rules but real car control skills. They prepare you for any situation on the road and shape the right driver's mindset.
• Real success stories. We are proud of our students' successes. Their reviews confirm that thanks to our approach, they not only passed the exam on the first try but also truly enjoyed the learning process.

 

Conclusion

 

Don't let the discouraging general statistics stop you. Choose a driving school that truly cares about your result and safety. The Association of Driving Schools guarantees quality training that will help you become one of the 90% of successful graduates and get your license on the first try.
