FREE NWT Driver’s Test Practice 2025 (NT)

To begin driving in the Northwest Territories, you’ll need to qualify for your Class 7 licence by passing a written knowledge test. The test is made up of 20 multiple-choice questions on road rules, and a separate test of 20 questions on road signage, based on information pulled directly from the 2025 NWT Basic Driver’s Manual. To pass both and receive your licence, you may not miss more than four questions in each test. You’ll have 30 minutes provided for each exam. New drivers are eligible to test for their learner licence once they are 15 years old. The Northwest Territories have set a Graduated Licence Program to ease new drivers into the responsibility of being a fully licensed driver. Class 7 learner licence holders must be supervised at all times by another driver with at least two years of experience, may not drive during set late hours, may not carry other passengers, and must follow a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence. Once you have held a learner licence for one full year, you may take the road test and move up to a Class 5P probationary licence to be held for another year. Both the written and road tests each will cost $44 each time you attempt the test. In addition to the written tests when applying for your learner licence, you’ll also need to take an eye exam and provide proof of identity. This practice knowledge test will help you study as you prepare to earn your licence.

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.
