CBR Pass Rates by Exam Center (2025)

Our analysis of the latest CBR data reveals a wide variation in driving exam success rates across different exam centers in the Netherlands. The lowest pass rate was recorded at Examen­centrum Barendrecht, where only 39% of candidates passed their driving exam. In contrast, Examen­centrum Maastricht showed the highest success rate at over 64%, making it the most favorable location for test-takers in 2025. A clear pattern emerges in the distribution: urban centers such as Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Utrecht cluster in the lower range of success rates (typically between 39% and 48%), whereas more peripheral or rural locations tend to exhibit higher pass rates, often exceeding 55%. This distribution likely reflects differences in driving environments, including road complexity, congestion, and examiner expectations. Understanding these regional disparities may help learners, especially international students, choose exam centers where they have statistically higher chances of passing.
