FREE Newfoundland and Labrador Learner’s Permit Practice Test 2025
To obtain a Class 5 learner’s licence in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), you must pass the Class 5 Knowledge Exam. To qualify for the exam, you must be at least 16 years old, pass a vision screening, and present valid government-issued identification. For drivers under 18, written parental or guardian consent is also required. There is a one-day waiting period and a retest fee if you fail the exam. Our Free Newfoundland and Labrador Learner’s Licence Practice Test helps ensure you pass the knowledge exam on your first attempt.The NL Knowledge Exam is available in multiple languages and comprises 40 multiple-choice questions covering road rules, traffic control signs, right-of-way rules, defensive driving strategies, and more. You must take the exam online through the MyGovNL portal or at a Motor Registration Division (MRD) office, and you must correctly answer at least 34 out of 40 (85%) questions to pass. Once you receive a Class 5 Learner’s Licence, you must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver with at least four years of driving experience and only drive from 5 a.m. to midnight. These restrictions are part of NL’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system, which reduces restrictions through a three-stage process: Class 5 (Level I: Learner’s Licence), Class 5 (Level II: Probationary Licence), and the full Class 5 licence. The GDL program and its restrictions and holding periods apply to all new drivers, including adults. There are also sign display requirements in NL (an L on the back of your vehicle if you are in the learner’s phase or a P if you are in the probationary phase). Each GDL phase requires a 12-month holding period (for those who have completed an approved driver education course, the learner’s phase is eight months). Our Free Newfoundland and Labrador Learner’s Permit Practice Test is based on the most recent version of the Newfoundland and Labrador Driver’s Handbook. The practice test contains 20 multiple-choice questions formatted like the actual test and provides immediate explanations for each response to speed the learning process. This practice test is one of three in our suite of NL learning materials. We also feature practice tests specific to traffic signs, road situations, and fines and regulations, which are significant parts of your knowledge exam. Additional features are available for our premium members. Check out our other NL Knowledge Exam Practice Tests!

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks: Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
Community Feedback Integration: We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
Expert Content Creation: Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
Rigorous Review Process: Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
User Feedback Mechanism: After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
Responsive Updates: In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
Our Premium Membership comes with a Pass Guarantee (30-day access and longer).
