1 What score do you need to pass the New Jersey (MVC) knowledge test?
New Jersey requires 80% (40 of 50 questions) to pass.
2 Many New Jersey highways use a 'jughandle.' To turn left from one you:
At a jughandle, you exit to the right and then cross or turn — you do not turn left directly from the through lanes.
3 Under New Jersey's GDL, permit and probationary drivers must:
GDL drivers must display red decals and obey passenger limits and the night-driving curfew.
4 What is the shape of a STOP sign?
Only the STOP sign is an octagon. The unique 8-sided shape lets drivers recognize it even when snow or dirt hides the wording.
5 A solid yellow line on your side of the center line means:
A solid yellow line on your side means you may not cross it to pass. A broken yellow line on your side would allow passing when safe.
6 Under good conditions, the minimum safe following distance is about:
Use the 3-second rule: pick a fixed point, and you should pass it at least 3 seconds after the car ahead. Add more time in rain, fog, or at higher speeds.
7 A triangular (downward-pointing) sign tells you to:
A downward triangle is always a YIELD sign. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.
8 When a traffic light is flashing red, you must:
A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: come to a full stop, then proceed only when it is safe.
9 In fog, the safest headlights to use are:
High beams reflect off fog and reduce visibility. Use low beams (and fog lights if equipped), and slow down.
10 A school bus ahead stops and turns on its flashing red lights on an undivided road. You must:
On an undivided road, traffic in BOTH directions must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and remain stopped until the lights are turned off.

New Jersey's exam runs 50 questions (40 to pass) and leans on right-of-way, the state's signature jughandle turns, and graduated (GDL) rules like red decals and the night curfew. Read the NJ Driver Manual once, then drill in short daily bursts so MVC phrasing feels familiar.
New Jersey uses a graduated system with the Special Learner Permit (with driver education) and Examination Permit; the knowledge test is taken in person at an MVC agency.
Retaking the knowledge test is generally covered by your application.
The road test is included in the graduated licensing process.
MVC agencies accept card and check. Confirm current fees and the 6-Points ID list on the NJ MVC site.
Local statutes to flag
New Jersey brings Shore-area downpours, nor'easter snow and ice, dense fog along the Turnpike and Parkway, and heavy commuter traffic. MVC questions like to test wet-road following distance, hydroplaning recovery, and merging in congestion.
Gather your 6 Points of ID and book an MVC knowledge-test appointment. Arrive early with ID, SSN, address proof, and consent forms. Use the wait to review jughandle and GDL-rule questions, then check in calm and ready.
