You can write the Class 5 Level I test online through MyGovNL, but the studying works just as well on paper. This page prints 100 of our Newfoundland and Labrador practice questions, balanced across all 18 topics in our bank, from sign shapes and construction zones to novice driver restrictions, demerit points, roundabouts, winter driving and moose collisions. The answer key starts on its own page after question 100, with the correct letter, a short explanation and the handbook page for each answer.

Mark yourself against the province's 85 per cent pass mark, which on this paper means 85 correct out of 100. That is a higher bar than in most provinces, so a score in the low 80s means more study, not a booking. Every question is original and written from the 2025 Driver's Handbook (Road Users Guide), which Motor Registration publishes as a free PDF and also in French as the Manuel du conducteur. Once you pass the real test, remember the result is valid for six months, so book your Motor Registration appointment for the vision test, photo and permit in good time.
