About Verkeersschool Istha

Verkeersschool Istha had 204 first practical tests for a car licence between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026. Of these, 91 were passes and 113 were failures: a pass rate of 44.6%. The national average for the same type of test and dates was 48.8%, based on 203,403 first tests. The school is 4.2 percentage points below the national rate.

Comparing the same test centres

How does the school compare at the same centres? Across 2 test centres, the combined pass rate for other schools is 46.8%. Centres where this school had more tests carry more weight. Its own rate is 44.6%, 2.2 percentage points below this rate. We use 204 of the school’s 204 first tests and 5,516 tests from other schools. The other schools’ rate leaves out this school’s own CBR code and known related codes. The type of test and dates are the same. This does not tell us which school teaches better.

Car tests

Of 204 first car tests, 193 were in a manual car (94.6%) and 11 in an automatic (5.4%). Manual tests had 86 passes (44.6%), and automatic tests had 5 (45.5%). One different result would change the manual pass rate by 0.5 percentage points and the automatic rate by 9.1 percentage points. When comparing, look at the number of tests too. These past figures do not show which lessons the school offers now.
