New Brunswick Mock Exam
Twenty questions, 16 to pass. This mock mirrors the real New Brunswick Class 7(I) Learner knowledge test — same mix of signs, rules, GDL, impaired-driving law, and winter driving — drawn fresh every attempt from the 240-question NB bank.
How the mock is built
Every attempt draws 20 fresh questions from the full NB bank — signs, signals and pavement markings; rules of the road and right-of-way; GDL stage rules; impaired-driving BAC and fines; winter driving; emergency vehicles and school buses. The questions are scored collectively (not by section as in some provinces). The pass mark is 16/20 — miss five and the mock is a fail. The results screen tells you which topics tripped you up so you can drill the weak side.
- 20 questions — redrawn every attempt from the 240-question bank
- Untimed — the real NB test does not run a clock, so neither does this mock
- 16/20 to pass — 80%, exactly like the real test
- Topic breakdown on results — see which category tripped you up
- Instant explanations — every answer cites the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook
- Per-wrong-option explanations — pick a wrong answer and see why that specific option was off
What a 'reliably ready' mock score looks like
A single 16/20 isn't a bookable result — it's a bare pass that will swing to a fail on the next bad draw. Aim for two or three consecutive mock attempts where every attempt comes in at 18/20 or better. That's the zone where you can walk into Service New Brunswick confident. If your scores still bounce between 15 and 19, drill the weakest topic for a few days before mocking again.
The most commonly missed New Brunswick topics are: the two-level GDL numbers (12-month Level I minimum, 24-month Level II minimum), the warning-range vs. criminal BAC thresholds (0.05 vs. 0.08, with 0.00 for GDL), the Level I midnight-to-5 a.m. restriction, the Move Over rule's 60 km/h threshold, and the specific demerit points for distracted driving. Those five themes catch more learners than the signs ever do.
Sample mock questions
Four sample questions you might see on the mock. Click each to reveal the correct answer and the handbook chapter.
Q1. At a four-way stop in New Brunswick where two vehicles arrive at the same time, the right-of-way goes to:
- A. The vehicle on the left
- B. The vehicle on the right ← correct
- C. The larger vehicle
- D. The first to honk
Why: When two vehicles arrive at the same time at an all-way stop, the driver on the right goes first. See the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook — Chapter 4.
Q2. The minimum Level I period in NB before advancing to the road test is:
- A. 12 months, or 8 months with an approved driver-education course ← correct
- B. 3 months
- C. No minimum period
- D. 24 months
Why: The Level I stage is 12 months, reducible to 8 months with a completed driver-education course. See the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook — Chapter 1.
Q3. A fluorescent-yellow-green diamond with a child symbol or an 'X' with children marks:
- A. A school zone or school crossing ← correct
- B. A daycare parking area
- C. A hospital entrance
- D. A bus-stop zone
Why: Fluorescent-yellow-green signs are reserved for schools, school zones and school crossings so drivers can spot them quickly. See the handbook — Chapter 3.
Q4. On a New Brunswick Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) section, the posted speed limit is most commonly:
- A. 80 km/h
- B. 90 km/h
- C. 100 or 110 km/h ← correct
- D. 130 km/h
Why: The Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) and other main NB divided highways are posted at 100 km/h or 110 km/h on specific stretches. See the handbook — Chapter 4.
Common questions
What score do I need to pass the New Brunswick knowledge test?
You need 16 out of 20 — 80% — to pass. The mock applies the same threshold.
Is the New Brunswick knowledge test timed?
The SNB Class 7(I) knowledge test is not timed in the strict sense. Our mock does not force a clock either — take it at your own pace and aim for 18/20 or better before booking.
What happens if I fail?
The results screen shows which category you missed on — signs, rules, or situational — so you can drill the weak side with the focused tests before coming back.
How soon can I retake the real test if I fail?
Service New Brunswick generally lets you rebook on another day after you pay the next attempt's test fee. Check with your local SNB office for current timing. There is no mandatory wait or cap on attempts, though office availability can delay you a day or two.
