Overall Pass Rate

Pass Rate Analysis

Clifden's pass rate is 65.7%, much higher than the national average of 53.9%. That's based on RSA data for H1 2024. Male, female, and first-time attempt breakdowns aren't published for this centre.

How Clifden Compares

No nearby test centres are listed for direct comparison. Candidates often look to Galway City if Clifden is booked out, but that's a long journey. Pass rate here outpaces most urban centres by a fair margin. If you're local, Clifden gives you a real advantage over busier test locations.

Tips for Passing at Clifden

Expect narrow, winding roads with plenty of bends and changing speed limits. Livestock and slow-moving vehicles aren't unusual, especially on the approach roads. Watch for sudden weather changes as fog and heavy rain can come in fast off the Atlantic. Practise hill starts and stopping on gradients, as you'll likely be asked to do them. There are fewer roundabouts than in city tests, but junctions can be tricky. Visibility at some crossroads is limited, so take extra care.

How to Get to Clifden Test Centre

Clifden Test Centre is in the town centre, Eircode H71 FW98. On-street parking is available nearby, but it fills up quickly during market days. Bus Éireann runs regular services from Galway City, with the station a short walk from the centre. If you're coming from the Aran Islands, factor in ferry and bus connections.
