Let’s get ready for your New Jersey MVC Permit Test

This NJ MVC practice exam has been updated for 2022 and includes 50 questions from the official NJ Driver Handbook. New Jersey implemented a graduate license program in 2001 to improve driving safety. No of your age, you must first get limited permission before applying for a full license. You can receive a special learner permit if you’re 16-17 and pass the MVC written exam. Anyone over 17 may avoid driving school but must still pass a written knowledge test. The knowledge exam will include 50 multiple-choice answers. To pass and acquire your permit, you must score at least 80%. After passing the written test and receiving your permit, you must display two decals on your vehicle: one on each front and rear license plate. The test is free, but the permit and decals are $10 each.
