New Mexico Permit Practice Test Four 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test

In New Mexico, if you’re under 18 or have never driven before, you must obtain an instructional permit to practice supervised driving before taking the road test for a driver’s license. One crucial requirement for an instructional permit is to pass a knowledge test on driving theory. If you’re under 18, you must also provide signed consent from a parent or guardian. You must also be enrolled in or have completed a driver’s education course offered by a state-approved provider. You must complete the entire course (including driving practice) before you apply for a provisional license.

You may take the knowledge test at an MVD office or your driver’s education course provider if they offer it. All questions on the knowledge test are based on the official New Mexico MVD driver’s manual (New Mexico MVD Handbook (NM Driver's Manual) 2025).

You should study the manual as part of your preparation to pass the knowledge test. Unfortunately, many aspiring drivers have read the manual but failed the knowledge test anyway. Something more is needed.

We have created learning tools to supplement the official driver’s manual. This is our fourth New Mexico Permit Practice Test. The purpose of all our permit practice tests is to help aspiring drivers like you pass the MVD knowledge test. Like the official knowledge test, these practice tests are multiple choice. You must choose the best or most complete answer for each question. And like the official knowledge test, these practice tests are based on the official MVD driver’s manual.

If you need help with a question, just call on our AI Assistant. If you get stuck on a question, ask the AI Assistant to elaborate or give you a hint. You can also ask it your own questions about driving. If you still miss the question, the AI assistant will provide you with the correct answer and an explanation.

Looking for a PDF list of the exact questions (with answers) you’ll encounter on your written knowledge test? Unfortunately, we don’t know how to legitimately create this. To assemble a knowledge test, the MVD draws questions randomly from a giant database of available test questions, so it’s impossible to predict the specific questions they’ll draw for you. However, our practice test questions have proven pretty similar to the official knowledge test questions we know of. Also, we have created two downloadable PDF “cheat sheets” (though they’re not for actual cheating!): “The Top 100 Most Common US DMV Questions” and “The 121 Most Common US Road Signs Questions.” It’s a good bet that some of these questions will appear on your knowledge test. Each “cheat sheet” includes the correct answer for each question listed.

We know how Driver's Ed goes

The material is dry. Studying it is tedious. And you don't want to step foot inside the DMV. So you dread it, avoid it, pretend it doesn't exist. Or you go to the DMV and shoot your shot. You walk in. Take a number. Then the number takes your soul.

Noses sneeze. Babies cry. Frustration groans. And when it's finally time to take your test, you're sweating. Thirty minutes later, you're crying. Because despite your best efforts. You failed. Next thing you know, you're chasing a Waymo in circles to get home (embarrassing!).
That ends here.
At Driving Tests, we know emotions can get in the way of doing what you need to do. So we deliver Driver's Ed that makes it easy to start, and even easier to finish. We get you DMV Smart ASAP. Testing you with real, up-to-date questions. Backing up tricky driving situations with easy-to-grasp visuals & engaging practice tests that reaffirm what you know, and test you again on what you don't. So by the time test day comes - you *own* the DMV. Your only worry? Convincing the proctor you didn't cheat ;)
