NEW JERSEY STUDY GUIDE
What to know for the New Jersey written test
NJ MVC’s manual and sample test say the standard written test has 50 questions and requires 80% correct, or 40 answers. The practice mode uses 50 questions and shows that score benchmark. It is not an official MVC test and does not reproduce the state’s questions.
Learn New Jersey’s GDL rules
Covered drivers under 21 have limits on driving hours, passengers, and electronic devices, and must display red reflectorized decals on both license plates. The precise restrictions depend on permit or probationary license status, so check the official MVC page.
Know the state’s school-bus rules
Stop at least 25 feet from a school bus showing flashing red lights. On the opposite side of a divided highway with a safety island or raised median, New Jersey directs drivers to pass at no more than 10 mph.
Share the road and move over
Yield to emergency vehicles and keep at least 300 feet behind a signaling emergency vehicle after it passes. Move over for qualifying stopped vehicles when it is safe; if you cannot change lanes, slow below the posted speed and be ready to stop.
Practice visibility and weather rules
Use headlights during required nighttime hours, when visibility is 500 feet or less, when wipers are in use, and in fog or similar conditions. Increase your following distance in rain, snow, or other poor conditions.

Start with topic practice and read the explanation after every answer.
Try the 50-question practice mode and review every missed item.
Finish with NJ MVC’s sample knowledge test and confirm the current permit process with MVC.
