Read with care

Raheny: no shows and tests not conducted

Raheny counted 9,013 car tests: 7,917 delivered, 341 no shows and 755 not conducted or abandoned. Raheny's shares of those 9,013: 3.8% no shows and 8.4% not conducted at Raheny. Of 57 centres, Raheny's 3.8% no show share ranks 6th highest. Neither count moves Raheny's 50.0% pass rate: 3,960 passes over 7,917 tests delivered. Nationally the two shares were 3.1% and 7.4%.

7,917 car tests is enough for the car figure to be stable from month to month, but it still reflects who sat the test here, how much they had practised and the local roads, not only how strict a tester is.

How to read a centre's figures beside the national picture, and what the test checks, is in the driving test pass rates guide.
