    NJ MVC driver's license

    Free New Jersey MVC Practice Permit Test 2025

    • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
    • Based on official New Jersey Driver's manual
    • Updated for March 2025

    The New Jersey MVC permit test has 50 multiple-choice questions. A score of 80% or higher will be needed to pass and get your permit. Once you have passed your written exam and have your permit, you’ll be required to display two decals on your vehicle: one each on your front, and back license plates. There is no fee to take the exam, but there is a $10 charge for either type of permit and an additional $4 for the decals. This practice test has just been updated for March 2025 and covers 50 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the official 2025 NJ Driver Handbook. In 2001, New Jersey instituted a Graduated Driver License Program to help ensure better driver safety. No matter your age, if you’re applying for your first driver’s license, you must first start with a restricted permit. If you’re between 16 and 17, you can get a special learner permit if you’re enrolled in a driver-training course and pass the MVC written test. If you’re over 17, you can skip the driving school but will still need to pass a written knowledge exam.
