This statistic compares the pass rates for men and women in driving theory tests in the United Kingdom (UK) between 2007/2008 and 2017/2018 financial years, with data for the year to date as of March 2018. Women consistently performed better than men at the theory tests by around six percent. Although the pass rates have been falling, the most recent drop can possibly be attributed, in part, to new, previously unpublished questions being used in the new tests.
