“Live Free or Die” takes on a whole new meaning when you’re burning up with cabin fever. However, if you are going to live it cruising the public roads without a New Hampshire driver’s license, you won’t be feeling very rye and pumpkin pie. If you’re ready to start living your best life, a step in the right direction is learning the rules of the road.

While you may already know some traffic laws and safe driving habits, you will need to go a little further than learning the basics. New Hampshire requires you to answer 80% of the 40 questions on the official knowledge test correctly to receive a passing score. If you fail to achieve this score, the test will abruptly end as soon as you miss 20% of the questions. How rude! Some of these questions are complex, challenging you to demonstrate your grasp of the test material. These questions may be written in a way that is confusing and offers answer choices that are hard to choose between. You need to find a way to keep these brain teasers from impacting your test performance.

Our free New Hampshire DMV Diagnostic Driving practice test is based on the most recent New Hampshire driver’s manual (New Hampshire DMV Handbook (NH Driver's Manual) 2025) and up to date as of December 2025. There are 8 questions on the New Hampshire official knowledge test that most New Hampshirites commonly miss. If you think a study guide can throw you a lifeline to survive these questions, you’re likely going to sink. Study guides will only take you as far as telling you the correct answer to a question. The practice test teaches you the information needed to back up your answer. If you submit a wrong answer, the practice test will give you a detailed explanation of the correct one. Even more helpful, the questions on the practice test are just like the ones often missed. You will get a real feel for how the questions can trick you and be prepared to reason your way through your answers. Get on board with our practice test and leave behind the grind of traditional test preparation!
