How the NZ Road Code practice tests work

  1. Pick the tests for your licence

    The tests are grouped by licence: car tests, motorbike tests and heavy vehicle tests. Start with the group that matches the licence you are studying for, then work through the topics one at a time.

    Exam Core covers the essential road rules and is the best place to begin. Then move on to road signs, driver behaviour, intersections, parking, road position and emergencies. Car, motorbike and heavy vehicle learners each have a specialist test as well.

  2. Learn from every answer

    After you choose an answer you see straight away whether it was right, along with a short explanation. Missed questions are the quickest way to find the rules you still need to revise, and you can retake any test as often as you like.

  3. Then sit a full mock exam

    When you feel ready, try a mock exam. Each one has 35 questions, 25 general questions plus 10 for your licence class, with answers revealed at the end and a pass mark of 32 out of 35, matching the format of the theory test.

Frequently asked questions

Start with Exam Core, which covers the essential road rules. After that, take the topic tests for signs, behaviour, intersections, parking, road position and emergencies, and finish with the specialist test for your licence.

Practice tests focus on one topic and show the answer and explanation straight away. Mock exams are 35 questions drawn from across the topics, with answers revealed only at the end, so they feel like the real theory test.

The theory test has 35 questions and the pass mark is 32. Our mock exams follow the same format. Check the NZ Transport Agency website for the latest requirements for your licence.
