FREE Northwest Territories Driving Practice Test 2025
The Northwest Territories participate in a Graduated Driver Licence Program that you may enroll in once you are at least 15 years of age. To begin, you must take a timed written knowledge test based on the 2025 NWT Basic Driver’s Manual. Your exam will be comprised of two multiple-choice tests, one with questions based on rules of the road and the second on road signs. You will have 30 minutes in each test and must correctly answer a minimum of 16 of the 20 questions to pass. In addition to the knowledge exams, you’ll also be required to take a standard vision test and provide proof of identification. You may then begin practicing driver with a Class 7 learner licence. The Class 7 licence will allow you to drive while under the supervision of a fully licensed driver with at least 24 months of experience. Novice drivers may not drive between 11 pm and 6 am, and there is a zero-tolerance policy for them driving under the influence. Once you have completed 12 months with a learner licence, you may apply to take a road test for your Class 5P probationary driver licence, which you must hold for an additional 12 months. Your written exam will cost $44, and your road test exam will be another $44. This Northwest Territories practice knowledge test can help you to study and feel prepared when it’s time for you to take the real exam.

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.
