This page sets out 100 New Brunswick Class 7 practice questions on one printable sheet, for anyone who would rather study with paper and a pencil. They are drawn evenly from all 18 topics in our bank, so both parts of the knowledge test are there: road sign recognition and the rules of the road, from graduated licence conditions and demerit points to school buses, roundabouts and impaired driving. The answer key begins on a fresh page after the last question.

Every question is our own, written from the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook, and each answer in the key comes with a short explanation and the handbook page it is based on. Service New Brunswick does not publish its test questions, so no PDF online is the real test. When you mark your sheet, score the sign questions and the rules questions separately, the way the real tests are scored: 16 of 20 is the bar on the rules test, and the sign test lets you miss no more than four signs. Then return to the topic tests for the part that needs work and try the 40-question mock exam.
