Test figures for CBR Alkmaar

The figures for Alkmaar cover 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. CBR recorded 4,104 first tests for a car licence (B): 2,053 passes and 2,051 failures (50%). There were 194 CBR school registrations.

First tests and retests

At Alkmaar, CBR counted 3,492 retests, with 1,834 passes and 1,658 failures (52.5%). They account for 46% of all 7,596 tests. We keep them separate from the first-test rate and ranking. This compares different groups, not the effect of taking another test.

Why the centre average is only part of the picture

Look at the schools behind the average too. There are 37 school registrations with at least 30 first tests, covering 2,953 tests. The middle half of their rates runs roughly from 44.5% to 58.3%. This shows why the centre average alone is not enough to choose a school.

Which schools shape the average?

Of 4,104 first tests, 878 came from the 3 busiest school registrations (21.4%). Schools with more tests therefore shape more of the average.

Which towns are the schools in?

Schools with tests here are spread across 58 known towns. The largest groups of tests belong to Alkmaar (1,060), Heerhugowaard (932), and Amsterdam (284). The school town is known for 4,057 of 4,104 first tests and missing for 47. These are school towns, not candidate home towns.

Compared with the national figures

Nationwide, 48.8% passed from 203,403 first tests of the same type over the same dates. The rate here is 1.2 percentage points above the national rate. This does not prove the centre is easier or harder: schools and candidates differ.

Other centres in the area

These are the same tests over the same dates. Distances are straight lines between town centres. Travel distances and distances between test addresses may differ. Some centres in the file have since changed.

Preparing for your practical test

CBR describes a 55-minute car test, with about 35 minutes of driving. The examiner checks your identity document, theory test validity and completed self-reflection form. Check beforehand what you need for your own situation.

What does the examiner check?

CBR checks observation, car control and giving way, among other skills. Ask your instructor what you still need to practise. The CBR page has tips and videos about common mistakes. These are general tips; the results do not show mistakes or fixed routes for this centre.

Ask the school how your instructor tracks your progress and works with you to decide when you are ready for the test.

The score compares first tests at this centre: 70% CBR results and 30% Google ratings, adjusted for small samples.
