Trento around the national average
Trento sits mid-table at number 72 of 102, and its 57.85% is 2.42 points from the national average of 60.27%. In the table the province sits between Siena (58.04%) and Cremona (57.82%), a span of 0.22 points in all.
The figure rests on 9,959 theory tests sat in 2025, the 24th largest volume of the 102 provinces with a published figure and 1.08% of the 919,868 tests sat across Italy. Shifting the rate by one point would take about 100 different outcomes, a volume that makes the figure insensitive to single cases.
Between 2024 and 2025 the rate went from 57.92% to 57.85%, a change of −0.07 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 9,229 to 9,959.
The two tests point the same way: 57.85% on theory and 71.06% on the practical test across 8,757 tests, one 2.42 points and the other 12.76 points below its own national average. On the practical test the province ranks number 95 of the 102 with a published figure. Against 2024 the practical pass rate changed by +0.89 points, while the national one moved by −0.58 points.
