New Hampshire’s exam is one of the longer ones: only 7 jurisdictions ask more than 40 questions. You need 80% to pass, which means you can miss 8 questions and still get your permit. You have 40 minutes, one of only 8 jurisdictions that put a clock on the exam.
The exam is given by the DMV. Its questions come from the official New Hampshire driver’s handbook, which is also where every DMV Champ question is checked.
The New Hampshire Driver’s Manual calls it the knowledge test. If you fail, the rule on retaking is: not sooner than ten days.
36 topics in New Hampshire: the 34 every state tests, plus winter driving and flooding, because the New Hampshire handbook teaches them.
Exam simulator
Pick New Hampshire once in the app and every simulated exam uses these figures. Nothing is revealed mid-exam, and each attempt is graded against the 32-correct passing score at the end. Retake an exam as often as you like, reordered each time.
What you study
Signs and signals, road rules, safe driving and driving laws. The topics come from the AAMVA guidelines every state builds its exam on, checked against the New Hampshire handbook. Each is a short group of questions you can get through in a few minutes, and every answer is explained the moment you check it.
No chapters to read first. Every practice question carries its answer and the reasoning, so a wrong answer is how the next thing is taught.
A question you get wrong returns until you get it right. Once you’ve answered every new question and corrected every mistake, you’ve finished the learning phase.
