Massa-Carrara among the lowest figures of 2025

At 52.41%, Massa-Carrara is among the ten lowest figures of 2025: number 99 of 102, 7.86 points below the national average. In the table the province sits between Arezzo (53.07%) and Livorno (51.69%), a span of 1.38 points in all.

The figure rests on 2,765 theory tests sat in 2025, the 91st largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 0.30% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. On a total this size about 28 different outcomes are enough to move the rate by a point.

The move against 2024 is marked: 1.42 points lower, from 53.83% to 52.41%, against +0.04 points of national change. The number of tests sat went from 2,638 to 2,765. On 2,765 tests a change of this size should be read with care, because it amounts to about 39 different outcomes and does not on its own show a lasting shift.

The two tests point the same way: 52.41% on theory and 81.62% on the practical test across 2,171 tests, one 7.86 points and the other 2.20 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 59 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by +1.03 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.

Inside Toscana, Massa-Carrara is number 7 of 9 provinces with a figure, below Arezzo (53.07%) and above Livorno (51.69%). The region runs from the 64.78% of Pisa to the 49.81% of Grosseto. In the same region Prato has no row of its own in the MIT file.
