The record we hold does not state its question count or pass mark. The fee is $25 for the first attempt; the online test page states $25 plus HST.

  • The Road Sign Recognition Exam and Rules of the Road Non-Commercial Knowledge Exam are separate. You retake only a test you fail.
  • Take the tests online or in person, in either official language. Oral testing can be arranged through SNB Teleservices.
  • Bring at least 1 acceptable identification document and at least 2 documents proving New Brunswick residency. Applicants under 18 also need a completed parental consent form.
  • The vision standard is 20/40 in the best eye. After an online pass, wait at least 4 business days before completing the vision test at an SNB office other than Campobello.
  • Study the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook.
  • Official retake pages conflict. The SNB online page says wait 1 day before attempt 2 and 1 week before attempt 3. The GNB written-test page says there is no waiting period.
  • After 3 failed online attempts, the test must be taken in person at a Service New Brunswick Driver Examiner office.
  • The first-attempt fee page is effective August 1, 2026. A Class 7 road test costs $25 per attempt.
  • Level 2 starts at age 16 years and 8 months with driver training, or age 17 without it. Level 1 drivers must have zero drugs and alcohol.

One question from the bank, in full

The question, the answer marked, the reason it is the answer, and the authority it rests on. Nothing is held back on this page and nothing is held back in a run.

New BrunswickRules of the road

A new Class 7 Level 1 driver in New Brunswick did not take recognized driver training. When is the earliest they can take the road test to enter Level 2?

  1. After eight months
  2. After twelve months
  3. After six months
  4. Immediately after the written tests

The answer is B

Without recognized driver training, Level 1 has a minimum twelve-month hold before the road test. The shorter eight-month route depends on completing the approved course.
