My son took the test in Wayne, where it is on a computer and you just have to answer a certain number of questions correctly--and you pick the questions. He was so relived since the first time he took it with paper and pencil and failed by one question.
That doesn't sound right.

How can you pick question? You look at it and if you don't know the answer you pick another one?


This certainly explains some of the drivers on the road.

A nervous test taker had right foot frozen on the gas pedal as approached the parking lot.

I think the way the test works is that you need 80% to pass, so if you get enough correct answers to pass the test stops. That is how my hazardous materials test works, which I have to retake every two years.

I know someone who had to take a certification test and it is done on the computer. The way that system worked was the questions started out random but if you got a question wrong it would throw three more like it at you. In their test it was also a percentage, but there was a minimum and maximum number of questions given. Get too many wrong and it shuts down at a point where you have no chance of passing, get them all correct and it also shuts down. Get a mixture of right and wrong and only them did you take the full length test.

I believe all nj dmv do it like this. I apparently failed by 1 as I had to take the whole thing
Sucks

It seems odd that if you take it in Wayne you get to pick the questions, but in Springfield you can't? Great tip though @nan

I took it in Wayne about 10-12 years ago and we couldn't pick the questions. You can skip and go back.

Does anyone have flash cards there's so much in the book im going mad

yoly,

You know the answers. Be confident in your knowledge.

If you'd like to meet for coffee and talk about being calm, give me a proposal. My schedule is flexible.

Yolk, make your own flash cards ..you will be surprised that writing the questions and answers will be very helpful by engaging a different part of your brain for learning. It will also help you visualize the answers on the cards when you are trying to recall.

Would love too pm me as I'm not sure how on my phone


Sorry for taking so long to get back I passed so easily using the driving school tests and flash cards online. I completely forgot about the book. My driving test is September 24th.

HOORAY! And good luck for the next step. I'm sure you'll do fine. oh oh

Congratulations. You deserve a laugh (hopefully) of relief:

I was hoping to be the one to post this... you beat me to it!

If only I had known what a yellow light meant.

Watch the video of your driving test site online, if you can. The Rahway circuit is on the YouTube and I understand that is a huge advantage.

Thank you very much my driving instructor said I have skills but need to be more comfortable and stop being so cautious. Lol

Why does that not surprise me, yoly1? smile

I hear Newark can be a tougher road test than other places. FYI. Perhaps others can chime in. My son took it in Wayne I think (we're going back 5 plus years).

Unless they have changed things in recent years, part of the Newark DMV road test is on Frelinghuysen Ave which can be intimidating to inexperienced drivers to say the least.


I took the driving test a couple of years ago (I'm originally from NYC and never needed to drive before I moved here) and I definitely recommend taking the driving test at the Randolph DMV.

That test is WAY too heavy on blood alcohol percentages and penalty amounts and way too light on practical driving knowledge and rules of the road.

I barely passed it when I moved here and was really annoyed at the questions. 20-some years later when my own kids were taking it, not much had changed.

What difference does it make if I know what the fine is for driving with such and such blood alcohol percentage. Who the heck knows what their blood alcohol percentage is anyway unless they have NOT had ANYTHING to drink? All you really need to know about that is not to drink and drive. But it would be helpful to test people on things like pedestrians in crosswalks, right of way rules and other such USEFUL driving rules and regulations.
