About the New Brunswick Class 7 knowledge test

In New Brunswick you can get a Class 7 Level 1 graduated licence from age 16. To get it, you pass a vision test, a road sign recognition test of 20 signs, and a rules of the road test of 20 multiple-choice questions. The practice tests on this page follow the same two parts, and every answer comes with a short explanation from the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook.
