Bolzano among the lowest figures of 2025
At 54.62%, Bolzano is among the ten lowest figures of 2025: number 95 of 102, 5.65 points below the national average. In the table the province sits between Rieti (55.12%) and Isernia (54.11%), a span of 1.01 points in all.
The figure rests on 9,432 theory tests sat in 2025, the 28th largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 1.03% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. Shifting the rate by one point would take about 94 different outcomes, a volume that makes the figure insensitive to single cases.
Between 2024 and 2025 the rate went from 54.84% to 54.62%, a change of −0.22 points, so it is flat in practice; the national figure moved by +0.04 points over the same period. The number of tests sat went from 9,464 to 9,432.
The two tests point the same way: 54.62% on theory and 78.27% on the practical test across 7,610 tests, one 5.65 points and the other 5.55 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 75 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by +1.26 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.
