Scheduling your Road Test in NJ

The objective of the road test is to test permit holders on their ability to operate a vehicle safely on the road and to demonstrate a proper understanding of NJ road laws. The road test can only be taken after the knowledge and vision tests have been successfully completed at a NJ driver testing center (some permit holders will be required to practice supervised driving for at least 3-6 months, depending on the age of the permit holder).

On the day of your road test, you will be accompanied by a Safety Specialist (Examiner) that will watch you drive on a off-road testing area or on a public road course. The test will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Learn more about the road test.

How to schedule a NJ road test?

Scheduling your NJ road test is very simple. Just refer to the New Jersey MVC Road Test Scheduling System page.
