Caltanissetta above the national average, outside the top ten

With 64.71% of theory tests passed, Caltanissetta stays above the national average without reaching the top ten: number 14 of 102 provinces with a published figure, 4.44 points above the Italian 60.27%. In the table the province sits between Pisa (64.78%) and Benevento (64.62%), a span of 0.16 points in all.

The figure rests on 3,936 theory tests sat in 2025, the 75th largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 0.43% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. On a total this size about 39 different outcomes are enough to move the rate by a point.

The move against 2024 is marked: 2.48 points higher, from 62.23% to 64.71%, against +0.04 points of national change. The number of tests sat went from 3,635 to 3,936. On 3,936 tests a change of this size should be read with care, because it amounts to about 98 different outcomes and does not on its own show a lasting shift.

The two tests point the same way: 64.71% on theory and 96.07% on the practical test across 2,974 tests, one 4.44 points and the other 12.25 points above its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 6 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by +0.50 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.

Inside Sicilia, Caltanissetta is number 8 of 9 provinces with a figure, below Palermo (64.95%) and above Siracusa (58.94%). The region runs from the 69.53% of Messina to the 58.94% of Siracusa.
