New Mexico permit practice test 2
Twenty questions building on the basics: yellow lights, DO NOT ENTER and ONE WAY signs, service signs, permit supervision, uncontrolled intersections, children's seating, hill parking, scanning ahead, high beams, blind spots, cyclists and proof of insurance. Every answer comes from the New Mexico Driver Manual (version 11.19.19) or the MVD's own pages. The real MVD knowledge test is passed with a score of 70 percent or better, but the MVD does not publish how many questions it has, so 20 questions is our own practice size: you need 14 correct (70 percent) to pass this set. Signs are part of the same test. The MVD states no time limit, and our sets have none.
Exam mode: timed, answers at the end, like the real test. Practice mode: untimed, the answer and explanation after each question.
