FREE Nova Scotia Class 4 Licence Test
- Based on 2025 NS commercial driver's licence manual
- Updated for August 2025
- Perfect for first-time and renewal commercial applicants, and those adding endorsements
- Triple-checked for accuracy
Do you know your city like the back of your hand? You just might be made for taxi driving. Whether you’re in Halifax, Truro, or Bridgewater, there’s a steady demand for commercial drivers with a Class 4 licence. The Registry of Motor Vehicles requires all applicants to go through the licensing process, which involves several steps. You must be 18 or older, possess a valid Class 5 licence for at least one year, pass a vision screening, complete a driver’s medical examination, pass a written knowledge exam, and pass a road test. However, to operate commercial vehicles with a seating capacity of 8 passengers or less (excluding the driver), you may obtain a restricted Class 4 licence without taking the knowledge or road tests. It’s much easier after you use our Nova Scotia Class 4 Licence Practice Tests!
The official Nova Scotia commercial driver’s handbook describes the various aspects of commercial driving in detail. Please read its contents at least once to learn more about pre-trip inspections, hours of service, and the National Safety Code (NSC). The official written knowledge exam consists of 20 multiple-choice questions, which you must answer before the timer runs out. You need a score of 80% or higher to pass, leaving little room for error. To prepare effectively, you should adopt a systematic approach and use the most efficient tools available.
Our Nova Scotia Class 4 Licence practice test can significantly boost your learning potential, helping you master commercial driving theory through repetition. All questions are based on the official commercial driver’s handbook, which you can use during your practice sessions. If you encounter a difficult question, you can refer to the manual and find the correct answer yourself. Although this method will not be allowed during the official exam, it is highly effective during your learning phase.
For your convenience, we have included an automated assistant in this practice test. Initiate a conversation whenever you want personalized help. The most complex aspects of commercial driving theory will be easier to understand with the detailed explanations from the AI coach. They can help you learn from your mistakes and identify areas that need improvement.

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.
