Driving in New Mexico’s heat can be challenging for new drivers. The strong sun and hot roads affect both your car and your focus. You should check your tires regularly, as heat can cause them to wear out faster or even blow out. As a licensed driver, you must always prioritize safety. The official New Mexico Driver’s Handbook (New Mexico MVD Handbook (NM Driver's Manual) 2025) describes the various aspects of driving theory in detail. You should read its contents multiple times to learn about safe driving practices, traffic laws, and road signs.
Our New Mexico Driver’s Handbook Practice Test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on this manual. You can use both resources simultaneously to boost your learning potential. With unlimited attempts and nonstop access, there’s no limit to how often you can train with this intuitive tool. To maximize your chances of passing the official written knowledge test on your first attempt, we recommend developing a daily study routine and following it consistently.
To reflect the latest updates brought by MVD rules or state law, we have recently updated this practice test for October 2025. You will always practice with the latest version, as accuracy is essential in driving theory. During an active training session, you can use several features to customize your testing experience. A slider lets you modify the font size. Make the text bigger until it becomes easier to read to prevent digital eye strain and its uncomfortable symptoms. This slider can be found in the test settings menu by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of the page.
A detailed explanation of the correct answer is provided for each question. Please read it twice and note this feedback in a notebook or notebook app. Revisit the material during future practice sessions to learn from your mistakes and identify areas that need improvement.
Our practice tests can make the difference between a failed attempt and passing the official written knowledge test on your first try. However, becoming a safe and responsible driver in the Land of Enchantment takes time and effort. Before you can explore this beautiful state from behind the wheel, you must study and master driving theory.
