The latest DVSA figures for the various motorcycle tests shows that the financial year April 2024 to March 2025 saw a slender rise in Theory Test passes, but a slight reduction in the number of both Module 1 (off-road) and Module 2 (on-road) test passes.
Theory tests were up 0.22% overall compared to the previous year, despite a slight reduction in pass rate from 68.6% to 68.1%. Mod 1 and Mod 2 passes fell by 0.57% and 0.90% respectively. Men made up more than 90% of tests taken, with women very much in the minority.
Gender differences in pass rates show some interesting trends: women are more successful at the Theory test, with 72% passing compared to 68% of men, but there is a big reversal in fortunes for the Mod 1 test, with women only passing 56% of the time whereas the men manage 75%. For the on-road Mod 2 test, the pass rates are exactly matched, with 72% from each gender successful.
