This New Jersey Driver's License New Jersey Driver Testing practice set has 29 practice questions based on the official exam materials, each with an instant explanation. You need 80% on the real New Jersey Driver's License knowledge test to pass.

Topic overview

This chapter covers what's required to earn a basic New Jersey driver license: the 6-Point ID Verification, a vision screening, the knowledge test, and the behind-the-wheel road test.

The most heavily tested material is the knowledge test format — 50 questions, with 40 correct answers needed to pass — plus the road test checklist: your vehicle needs a valid inspection sticker, working signals and brakes, and GDL decals if you're a permit or probationary driver.

A common mistake is showing up for the road test without every checklist item, such as a validated permit or proper GDL decals — examiners can reject the vehicle before the test even starts.

How many questions are on the knowledge test and what score do I need to pass?

The knowledge test has 50 questions, plus a survey question about organ donation that isn't scored. You need at least 40 correct answers — 80 percent — to pass.

What vision standard must I meet for a basic license?

Basic license applicants need 20/50 vision, with or without corrective lenses. If you only have sight in one eye, that eye must meet the 20/50 standard and you'll need documentation from a licensed physician.

What do I need to bring to my road test?

Bring 6 points of ID, your validated permit, a vehicle with a valid inspection sticker plus valid registration and insurance cards, and (if you're a GDL driver) two properly mounted red decals. A licensed driver must accompany you to the test site.
