Practical Test Centres Near Katesgrove

Katesgrove learners typically book their practical at the Reading test centre, less than a mile south, which posts a pass rate slightly above the national average. Routes cover a mix of residential streets around the town, busier sections near the centre, and short stretches of dual carriageway on the outskirts, so lessons usually focus on building confidence across that range before test day.

High Wycombe is around fourteen miles north-east and runs at a lower pass rate, making it a useful backup when Reading slots are tight. Farnborough sits roughly fifteen miles south-east with a noticeably higher pass rate, worth considering if you're prepared to travel further and want to test on slightly quieter routes.
