Mandurah PDA Driving Test Routes Book Test

NO. Mandurah has the LOWEST pass rate in ALL of Australia at just 27%. Nearly 3 out of 4 test takers fail here. Strongly recommend booking at Success (49%) instead - that's a 22% higher pass rate, nearly DOUBLE your chances of passing.

Several factors contribute: 1) Remote location (72 km from Perth), 2) Limited professional instructor availability, 3) Different road conditions than Perth, 4) Less exposure to complex traffic situations, 5) Candidates often lack sufficient preparation.

Mandurah (27%) is by far the worst. Compare: Success (49% - 22% higher!), Butler (46% - 19% higher), Cannington (41% - 14% higher), Kelmscott (36% - 9% higher), Mirrabooka (30% - 3% higher). The drive to Perth is worth it.

If you must test at Mandurah: 1) Book minimum 3-5 LOCAL driving lessons, 2) Practice on actual test routes, 3) Get familiar with Greenfields, Dudley Park, and Foreshore areas, 4) Take mock tests with local instructors, 5) Practice extensively.

Focus on: 1) Greenfields Shopping Centre (parking practice), 2) Dudley Park ('Left something behind' exercise), 3) Mandurah Foreshore (scenic but busy), 4) Pinjarra Road (main arterial). These are commonly used in test routes.

Mandurah is about 72 km south of Perth CBD, typically 1 hour drive. This distance means less access to quality instruction and practice on Perth-style roads. Consider the time and cost of driving to Success instead.

According to the Department of Transport: 1) Lack of preparation, 2) Insufficient driving experience, 3) Lack of knowledge about road rules. The remote location means many candidates don't get enough quality practice.

YES! Success (49%) has nearly DOUBLE the pass rate of Mandurah (27%). That's a 22% difference. Even accounting for the drive, booking at Success or Butler dramatically improves your chances of passing.

Book minimum 3-5 lessons with Mandurah-based instructors who know the test routes. Learn the 5-6 route variations. However, seriously consider whether testing in Perth would be a better investment of your time and money.

In 2018, 5,993 people sat the test at Mandurah with 52.6% failing (only 47.4% passed). Since then, pass rates have dropped further to 27%. This trend makes Mandurah even less recommended now.
