In New Hampshire, the requirements for a driver’s license include passing a vision test, the official DMV written knowledge test, and a road test. Unlike every other US state, New Hampshire doesn’t issue learner’s permits – student drivers can practice without any official credential as long as they’re supervised by a licensed parent, guardian, or adult at least 25 years old in the front passenger seat.

The knowledge test has 40 questions based on the official New Hampshire driver’s manual (New Hampshire DMV Handbook (NH Driver’s Manual) 2026). The test is timed – you get 40 minutes. To pass, you need at least 32 correct (80%).

This is our second New Hampshire Permit Practice Test, current for May 2026 and based on the official driver’s manual. Choose the best or most complete answer for each question.

If you’re stuck, our AI Assistant can discuss the question, give a hint, or answer your own driving questions. We also offer a New Hampshire Permit Test Study Guide with document checklists, fees, and tips for test day.

How to use New Hampshire Test 2

Treat this as a second read, not a repeat of the first practice test.

1

Start with Turning & U-Turns

This is one of the main areas in this test pool, so review the rule before another scored attempt.

2

Use fresh wording for NH rules

Test 2 changes the question mix so you can separate understanding from memorized answers.

3

Move to Test 3 after repeat misses drop

Use Test 3 to confirm that turning and u-turns plus vehicle equipment no longer pull your score down.
