An official response provided by Deputy Minister of Transportation Uri Maklev to a Knesset question reveals a complete picture of the success rates in driving tests in Israel - by city, age of test takers, and the number of times they took the test, including clear data on the ultra-Orthodox cities.

The data shows that in Modiin Illit the test pass rate is 401/300, in Beitar Illit about 371/300, in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh only about 321/300, while in Bnei Brak the success rate is not measured separately, but is included in the center's data (about 431/300 in Tel Aviv, 441/300 in Holon).
It should be noted that the highest success rates were recorded in Eilat (53%), Rehovot (52%), Kiryat Shmona (50%) and Ashkelon (48%).
On the other hand, the cities where it is most difficult to pass the test are Beit Shemesh (32%), Jerusalem (32%) and Petah Tikva (33%).
It also appears that the best age to take the test is between 25 and 30, with relatively high passing rates. At younger ages – 16 to 20 – success rates are lower, and a significant drop is recorded at age 40 and older.
The driving test system operates in two main locations – Taldor in the south and Jerusalem, and Milgam in the north and center. Each of them shows similar success rates – approximately 351%–371% of all test takers.
The data also shows that as the number of tests increases, the chance of passing decreases significantly: 381% of examinees pass the first test, while starting from the fourth test, the success rate drops sharply.
