The number of questions and the passing score are confirmed by NH Driver’s Manual. Check the current New Hampshire handbook before your test.
New Hampshire’s test 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 test.
The test 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.
Test simulator
Pick New Hampshire once in the app and every simulated test uses these figures. Nothing is revealed mid-test, and each attempt is graded against the 32-correct passing score at the end. Retake a test 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 test on, checked against the New Hampshire handbook. On Learn they’re cut into short practices of about ten questions, in seven steps from road signs to the laws, 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 goes to your mistakes in Review and comes back until you get it right there. Once you’ve answered every question and corrected every mistake, you’ve finished the learning phase.
Take a simulated test in the New Hampshire format and see how likely you are to reach the 32-correct passing score. Your latest test counts the most.
