TfL states a pass mark of 60% for the taxi SERU, which has 36 questions. For the private hire SERU, we found no pass mark on TfL’s SERU page or in the driver policy. So 60% for private hire is a figure people report, not one we can confirm.
Our mock tests use 60%, 23 out of 37, so that scores are easy to read. Check your booking confirmation or ask TfL for the pass mark that applies to you.
How to use the number
- Aim well above 60% in practice. A mock score is only a guide.
- Look at your weakest handbook sections, not only the total.
- Do not stop at "just enough". Questions on test day will be different from ours.
If you do not pass
New private hire applicants are normally allowed three attempts to pass SERU. Read what happens if you fail SERU and the resit fee.
