NM MVD Written Test Simulator – Study Online 2025
Tired of constantly having to ask others to give you a lift? Wouldn’t you like to explore the spectacular landscapes of New Mexico for yourself? Or commute to work on Interstate 25 in your own car? All that freedom will be yours once you obtain a driver license.
To get a license, however, there are a lot of steps you must complete. To practice driving, you must pass a vision exam and the official MVD 25-question knowledge exam for an instruction permit. You should study the official driver’s manual (New Mexico MVD Handbook (NM Driver's Manual) 2025). But experience has shown that if that’s all you do to prepare for the knowledge test, there’s a real chance you may fail it. (20% of applicants fail the New Mexico knowledge test on their first try.)
We’ve gone beyond the official manual with a knowledge test preparation program that ensures you learn everything you need to pass the knowledge test. Our other practice tests are based on the official driver’s manual and cover the rules of the road, safe driving techniques, traffic stops, breakdowns, driving emergencies, and other topics. The automated assistant accompanying the practice test sessions can help you learn the material by supplying hints and explanations of the correct answers. We even have an audiobook version of the official manual, which you can listen to even while you’re performing other activities of your daily routine. If you’ve taken full advantage of these study tools, you likely learned a lot about driving safely.
But now comes the crucial question: Do you feel ready to take the official knowledge test? To avoid the disappointment of failure, let’s make sure you’re ready!
This practice test you’re about to take operates in Simulated Exam Mode to closely resemble official exam conditions. The test consists of 25 questions based on the official manual, just like the questions on the official New Mexico MVD permit test. The passing score is 70%, just like the official permit test. There are no hints, no explanations, and no automated assistant to help you answer the test questions. On this Exam Simulator test, you’re on your own!
Please do not use external tools, such as the official manual, other documents, or ChatGPT to help you answer the test questions. It’s best to get an honest assessment of your readiness to take the official knowledge test. This way, you won’t take the official test prematurely and risk an unpleasant surprise.
Good luck!
