| IA/00508/19 | Fully successful | I would like some car theory test information from maybe 2 years pervious to the test price decrease and 2 or 3 years after the theory test price decrease please. I'm looking for statistics which show the number of attempts candidates have taken the theory test before they've passed that same test. Example - 1st attempt pass was 40% . 2nd attempt pass was 25% . 3rd attempt pass was 15% on so on. I'd like theses figures to show before and after the price decrease please. I strongly feel that the theory test has deliberately been made much more difficult in the last 2 or 3 years in order to keep up the same level of income the dvsa takes in from candidates. I would also like the information on the total number of theory tests taken 2 years before and 2 years after the price decrease. I would also like the cash amounts taken in from these same theory test time scales I've asked for please.Clarification:I would like the information to show 2013 and 2014 data which is before the price decrease and also the years 2016 and 2017 and maybe 2018 showing data after the price decrease. The candidate test information I would like is how many candidates passed the theory test 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time, 4th time and then maybe the percentage of candidates how took more than 4 attempts. I would like the data concerning pass rates from 2 or 3 years before the price decrease and also 2 or 3 years after the decrease. I strongly believe that Pearson or the dvsa have deliberately made the theory test much harder since the price decrease. | 26/06/2019 |
