How does Lombardia compare with Italy?
| Measure | Lombardia | Italy |
|---|---|---|
| Theory pass rate | 59.5% | 60.3% |
| Practical pass rate | 81.0% | 83.8% |
| Theory tests sat | 167,375 | 919,868 |

The practical pass rate is much higher than the theory rate everywhere in Italy, because only candidates who have already passed the theory ever sit it. The two figures are not comparable as measures of difficulty.
