Trieste in the lower half of the 2025 ranking
Trieste is in the lower half of the 2025 table, number 79 of 102, with 57.25% of theory tests passed against the national 60.27%, 3.02 points lower. In the table the province sits between Asti (57.40%) and Novara (57.24%), a span of 0.16 points in all.
The figure rests on 3,284 theory tests sat in 2025, the 83rd largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 0.36% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. On a total this size about 33 different outcomes are enough to move the rate by a point.
The move against 2024 is marked: 3.72 points lower, from 60.97% to 57.25%, against +0.04 points of national change. The number of tests sat went from 3,095 to 3,284. On 3,284 tests a change of this size should be read with care, because it amounts to about 122 different outcomes and does not on its own show a lasting shift.
The two tests point the same way: 57.25% on theory and 72.16% on the practical test across 2,938 tests, one 3.02 points and the other 11.66 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 91 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by −3.75 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.
