New Mexico Permit Practice Test Four 2025

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.
