What this ranking includes
Presented = Passed + Failed (people who actually sat the exam).
Pass rate = Passed / Presented.
1st-attempt share = Passed on 1st attempt / Passed (a strong “quality” signal).
This page is designed for students choosing an autoescuela in Madrid — and for “por libre” candidates who want to compare themselves against a real benchmark.
Madrid overall results (2025)
| Metric | Madrid (2025) |

| Pass rate | 53.6% |
| Passed on 1st attempt | 48,079 |
| 1st-attempt share (among passes) | 65.7% |
Interpretation: Madrid has high volume and a solid pass rate. Importantly, among those who pass, roughly 2 out of 3 do it on their first attempt.
Pass rate vs 1st-attempt share (quick explanation)
- Pass rate answers: “Out of everyone who sits the exam, how many pass?”
- 1st-attempt share answers: “Among those who pass, how many pass immediately?”
TURNO LIBRE in Madrid (benchmark)
“TURNO LIBRE” refers to candidates who sit the theory exam without an autoescuela. It’s the best baseline for comparing structured training vs self-preparation.
| Group | Presented | Pass rate | 1st-attempt share |
|---|---|---|---|
| TURNO LIBRE (Madrid) | 4,597 | 43.51% | 55.05% |
Top driving schools in Madrid (volume-filtered)
To avoid tiny-sample “winners”, the list below uses a minimum volume threshold. Filter used here: schools with ~100+ presented in Madrid (2025, Permit B theory).
Top schools by pass rate (Madrid)
| Rank | Driving school | Presented | Pass rate | 1st-attempt share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BRAMAN (Madrid) | 108 | 74.1% | 82.5% |
| 2 | NORDKAPP (Madrid) | 100 | 74.0% | 78.4% |
| 3 | ROCHA (Madrid) | 333 | 73.3% | 81.2% |
| 4 | ROSALES (Madrid) | 193 | 69.4% | 82.8% |
| 5 | VILLAVERDE (Madrid) | 179 | 69.3% | 75.8% |
- Presented tells you the sample size (bigger is more reliable).
- Pass rate tells you how many students pass out of those who sit the exam.
- 1st-attempt share is a great “readiness” signal (passing without repeats).
Want this expanded to a Top 10 and broken down by different volume thresholds (100+, 250+, 500+)? I can generate multiple views so the ranking stays fair and comparable.
Practical tips to pass the DGT theory in Madrid
What usually makes the difference
- Train with a realistic DGT-style exam format (timer, difficulty mix, review mistakes).
- Focus on weak topics instead of repeating only “easy” questions.
- Track readiness: stable results across several full mock exams.
- Don’t rush: many failures come from reading too fast.
Recommended approach (simple)
- Study theory in short sessions (20–30 min) to avoid burnout.
- Do daily mixed tests and mark “hard” questions.
- Re-do failed questions until you consistently get them right.
- Final week: full mock exams + targeted review.
TraficoTest.es is built for structured preparation: realistic exam mode, progress tracking, and a clear path to readiness — whether you study with a driving school or go TURNO LIBRE.
