Modena above the national average, outside the top ten
With 63.80% of theory tests passed, Modena stays above the national average without reaching the top ten: number 21 of 102 provinces with a published figure, 3.53 points above the Italian 60.27%. In the table the province sits between Oristano (63.85%) and Chieti (63.55%), a span of 0.30 points in all.

Shifting the rate by one point would take about 116 different outcomes, a volume that makes the figure insensitive to single cases.
