If you’re hanging out in Hackensack and want to head down to the Jersey Shore without a New Jersey driver’s license, you’ll need to make an honest assessment of the situation. It won’t be easy to tote your beach gear without access to the wheels to move it. When you’re heading for fun in the sun, you want to put the top down and let the wind blow through your hair. However, until you take a driving knowledge test, the closest you can come to the experience is to stand in front of your bathroom mirror with a hair dryer. The reality is New Jersey requires you to answer 80% of the 50 questions correctly to get a New Jersey learner’s permit or driver’s license. Are you interested in learning about the best way to reach your goal?

The key to passing your official knowledge test is to use the most advantageous study resources available. With this free New Jersey Diagnostic Driving practice test, you will find everything you need to excel on your official knowledge test. A major advantage in using the practice test is becoming familiar with the 8 questions that stump most New Jerseyans. You need to pay close attention to these questions because their wording may befuddle you into submitting a wrong answer. Relying on your best guess is not a plan for success. The time you spend studying with the practice test will eliminate all need for guesswork. The practice test is a proven resource for getting outstanding results.

About the New Jersey learner permit

Using our free New Jersey Diagnostic Driving practice test, you will receive expertly designed instruction to position you for success on your official knowledge test. The practice test is based on the most recent New Jersey MVC driver’s manual (New Jersey MVC Handbook (NJ Driver's Manual) 2026) and is up to date as of January 2026. While you may have used study guides in the past, you will find the practice test gives you the upper hand in preparing for your official test. Study guides do not have an instructional component. They are useful for memorizing the answers to questions but provide no information to support them. How can you apply this approach to answering confusing and complex questions or improving your driving skills? In comparison, if you submit a wrong answer on the practice test, you get a detailed explanation of the information supporting the correct one. You gain a clear understanding of the information that you did not completely grasp. In addition, you increase your chance of passing the official test on the first try as you enhance your driving skills.
