FREE Nova Scotia Driver’s Test Practice 2025

- Updated for September 2025

Obtaining a Class 7 learner’s licence in Nova Scotia requires a minimum age of 16, passing a vision screening, and passing the Class 7 Knowledge Exam. Additionally, you must present valid government-issued identification, medical documentation, and, if under 18, written parental or guardian consent. Failing the Nova Scotia Class 7 Knowledge Exam requires a one-day wait and a retest fee. Our Nova Scotia Driver’s Practice Test is designed to help you ace the knowledge exam on your first attempt.
Regardless of age, new drivers must adhere to Nova Scotia’s Graduated Driving License (GDL) system and are tested on its structure and expectations. It consists of three stages that gradually introduce driving privileges: Learner’s Licence (Class 7), Newly Licensed Stage (Class 5N), and Restricted Individual Stage (Class 5). For Class 7 Learners, Nova Scotia imposes strict alcohol and supervision restrictions and a midnight to 5 a.m. curfew. (Subsequent stages, like Class 5N, allow exemptions if nightly work-related driving is needed.) Specific procedures for road safety and emergency vehicle situations, mandatory vehicle inspections, collision reporting expectations, and insurance requirements can be included on the official exam, as well as how violations can lead to fines, demerit points, licence suspension, and mandatory retesting. New drivers cannot exit the GDL system without satisfying all holding periods, completing an approved driver training program, and providing proof of its completion to the Registry.
Applicants must be aware of fines for violating posted speed limits and rules for yielding to pedestrians, emergency vehicles, and transit buses. They are expected to know the “slow to 60 km/h and move over” rule for stopped emergency vehicles and best practices for driving under adverse conditions. All this is just some of what may be tested, and it’s covered on our practice tests.
The Nova Scotia Knowledge Exam must be taken at a Registry of Motor Vehicles office and comprises two tests of 20 questions each. Each test requires 16 correct responses to pass. Our Nova Scotia Driver’s Practice Test provides an immediate explanation for each response. It’s based on the most recent version of the Driver’s Handbook and contains multiple-choice questions that help you pass the official knowledge exam on your first attempt.
This practice quiz is the third of five. We have added features to some quizzes for our Premium members. Be sure to check out our other Nova Scotia 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 province'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.
