Perugia around the national average

The figure for Perugia, 59.40%, is close to the national 60.27%: the province is number 59 of 102, in a part of the table where a few tenths of a point separate one place from the next. In the table the province sits between Pescara (59.49%) and Alessandria (59.19%), a span of 0.30 points in all.

The figure rests on 10,557 theory tests sat in 2025, the 22nd largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 1.15% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. Shifting the rate by one point would take about 106 different outcomes, a volume that makes the figure insensitive to single cases.

Against 2024 the rate fell by 0.76 points, from 60.16% to 59.40%, while the national figure changed by +0.04 points. The number of tests sat went from 10,319 to 10,557.

On the practical test the province ranks number 96 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by −3.94 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.
