As the consistency of assessment of the practical driving test has been called into question by the Swedish National Audit Office the purpose of this study was to examine the consistency of assessment of test-takers' performance on the driving test. In order to examine inter-rater reliability the study was designed so that two raters assessed the same test-taker. The study included 535 tests and the assessment was done on a two-step rating scale (pass/fail). Since the result can be affected by factors associated with the test-taker and the two raters, questionnaires were developed and these were filled in by the test-takers and the raters. Information about the administration of the test was collected via a specially designed form filled in by the second rater. The ordinary examiners' performance was also rated by the supervising raters on a number of aspects. The result from the study indicated that the agreement between the assessments was very good. For 93 per cent of the tests the two raters chose the same mark on the two-grade scale. In the cases where ratings differed the analyses indicated only a few systematic differences among variables designed to provide possible explanations for differences in opinion. However none of these was problematic with respect to consistency of assessment. Results indicated that most tests were carried out in a satisfactory manner. All in all, the results indicate high consistency of assessment, both from a national and international perspective.
