The test is made up of two test papers: a general paper and a specialist paper. The general paper has 25 questions about road rules and road hazards. The specialist paper contains 10 questions about safety practices that relate to the type of vehicle you are applying for a licence for. (See New Zealand's driver licensing system for the different classes of licence you can apply for.)
Both papers are multi-choice scratch tests, which means you should select the answer you think is correct by scratching the panel next to that answer. This will reveal either a tick, to show your answer is right, or a cross, to show your answer is wrong.
To pass the test you need to get at least 32 questions right out of 35. If you get more than three questions wrong you will need to book to take the test again at another time, and you'll need to pay another test fee.
