Not really.  On the first provisional license, one is deemed 
inexperienced.  On the second, one is thought to have sufficient 
experience to drive unaccompanied (although not on motorways).  The 
third provisional license is issued after one *fails* a driving test or 
have failed to apply during the period of the second license.  If the 
second license expires while waiting for a driving test, the second 
license is extended.
