New Brunswick Class 7 Knowledge Test Practice 2026

New Brunswick's knowledge test is administered by Service New Brunswick (SNB) at any of its service centres. There are two separate written tests, road sign recognition and rules of the road, and you must pass each one; if you fail one, you retake only that test. The rules test has 20 questions and you need 16 correct (80%). The sign test requires you to identify the stop, yield and school zone signs correctly and make no more than four errors on the rest. No time limit is published, and the test is offered in both English and French.

After passing, you receive a Class 7 Level 1 graduated licence. You can take the road test for Level 2 after 12 months, or after 8 months if you graduated from a licensed driver training school. Level 2 lasts at least 12 more months, and you then apply for your Class 5 licence; there is one road test on this path.

Level 1 drivers must have only one passenger, a driver with a Class 5 or better licence and at least three years of driving experience, seated in the front, and cannot drive between midnight and 5 a.m. Level 2 drivers may carry no more than three passengers, only one in the front, and if under 21 cannot drive between midnight and 5 a.m. except for school or work or with an experienced driver. Zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs applies at both levels. Using a hand-held electronic device while driving is prohibited for every driver.

The driver's handbook is published in parallel English and French editions, and you can take the test in your preferred official language.

The handbook covers driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice and fog, and warns that animal crossing signs mark where moose and deer are known to cross, especially at dawn and dusk.
