New Jersey MVC Knowledge Test

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 40 of 50 questions correctly. Answers and explanations appear after you finish. Unanswered questions count as incorrect.

This practice format uses one overall passing threshold, without a separately scored sign section.

This Roadwise practice format has no countdown, so you can take the time you need.

The handbook states the knowledge test consists of 50 questions (plus a non-scored organ donation survey question) and requires 80% correct (40 of 50) to pass. No separate scored sub-sections (e.g. a standalone signs test) are described in the manual, and no time limit is stated, so no countdown is used for this practice format and the practice test uses one combined score.
