Milano around the national average
Milano sits mid-table at number 62 of 102, and its 58.97% is 1.30 points from the national average of 60.27%. In the table the province sits between Matera (59.16%) and Siracusa (58.94%), a span of 0.22 points in all.
The figure rests on 68,410 theory tests sat in 2025, the 2nd largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 7.44% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. Here one percentage point equals about 684 tests with a different outcome, so the rate moves slowly from one year to the next.
Between 2024 and 2025 the rate went from 59.18% to 58.97%, a change of −0.21 points, so it is flat in practice; the national figure moved by +0.04 points over the same period. The number of tests sat went from 67,874 to 68,410.
The two tests point the same way: 58.97% on theory and 76.70% on the practical test across 54,649 tests, one 1.30 points and the other 7.12 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 77 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by −3.36 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.
