Test figures for CBR Groningen

The figures for Groningen cover 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. CBR recorded 4,211 first tests for a car licence (B): 1,959 passes and 2,252 failures (46.5%). There were 188 CBR school registrations.

Which towns are the schools in?

School records link 4,144 of 4,211 first tests to 59 known school towns. The largest groups are Groningen (2,332), Leek (155), and Hoogezand (151). The school town is missing for 67 tests. This shows where schools are based, not where candidates live.

Which schools shape the average?

Of 4,211 first tests, 717 came from the 3 busiest school registrations (17%). Schools with more tests therefore shape more of the average.

Why the centre average is only part of the picture

Look at the schools behind the average too. There are 35 school registrations with at least 30 first tests, covering 2,494 tests. The middle half of their rates runs roughly from 38.9% to 55.8%. This shows why the centre average alone is not enough to choose a school.

First tests and retests

The file also lists 3,815 retests, with 1,892 passes and 1,923 failures: 49.6%. Of all 8,026 tests, 47.5% were retests. They stay outside the ranking and first-test rate. The groups differ, so this does not predict your result on another attempt.

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 2.3 percentage points below the national rate. This does not prove the centre is easier or harder: schools and candidates differ.

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.
