Imperia in the lower half of the 2025 ranking

Imperia is in the lower half of the 2025 table, number 91 of 102, with 55.33% of theory tests passed against the national 60.27%, 4.94 points lower. In the table the province sits between Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (55.68%) and Sassari (55.26%), a span of 0.42 points in all.

The figure rests on 2,362 theory tests sat in 2025, the 94th largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 0.26% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. On a total this size about 24 different outcomes are enough to move the rate by a point.

The move against 2024 is marked: 2.79 points higher, from 52.54% to 55.33%, against +0.04 points of national change. The number of tests sat went from 2,339 to 2,362. On 2,362 tests a change of this size should be read with care, because it amounts to about 66 different outcomes and does not on its own show a lasting shift.

The two tests point the same way: 55.33% on theory and 69.68% on the practical test across 2,520 tests, one 4.94 points and the other 14.14 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 98 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by +1.75 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.

Inside Liguria, Imperia is number 2 of 4 provinces with a figure, below Genova (60.17%) and above La Spezia (53.79%). The region runs from the 60.17% of Genova to the 50.28% of Savona.
