FREE NWT Learner’s Practice Test 2025

To obtain a Class 7 learner’s licence in the Northwest Territories, you must be at least 15 years old, pass a vision screening, submit the Northwest Territories Drivers Medical Examination Report and valid government-issued identification, and pass the Class 7 Knowledge Exam. If you’re under 18, you must also provide written parental or guardian consent. If you fail the exam, you must wait one day and pay an additional fee to retest. Our Northwest Territories Learner’s (Class 7) Practice Test will help you ace the knowledge exam on your first attempt.

Once you receive a Class 7 Learner’s Licence, you may drive under supervision and with restrictions. You must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver who has held the licence for at least two years, and you are only permitted to drive from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. These restrictions are part of the Northwest Territories’ Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system, which helps new drivers gain experience gradually. The GDL’s three-stage process consists of Class 7 (Learner’s Licence), Class 5P (Probationary Licence), and the full Class 5 licence. Drivers must hold the Class 7 licence for 12 months with no passengers except an adult supervisor. They must then hold the Class 5P licence for 12 months before becoming eligible for the full license. These holding requirements apply to all new drivers, including adults.

The Northwest Territories Knowledge Exam is in two parts: 20 questions on road signs and 20 questions on road rules. You must correctly answer 16 questions (80%) in each part to pass the exam. You’ll need to take the test at a Driver and Vehicle Office.

Our Northwest Territories Learner’s Practice Test is based on the most recent version of the Northwest Territories Driver’s Guide. It contains 20 multiple-choice questions written in the style of the official exam. Our NWT Learner's practice tests feature the inclusion of immediate explanations for each user response. Unlike standard study guides, this feature enhances retention and speeds the learning process, ensuring you pass the official knowledge test on your first attempt.

This practice test is just one part of our multi-test offering (including special additional features for our premium members!). Be sure to check out our other Northwest Territories Knowledge Exam Practice Tests!
