New Hampshire DMV is administered by the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), headquartered in Concord. The official New Hampshire written knowledge exam has 40 questions, and drivers must answer 32 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real New Hampshire DMV test.
What makes the New Hampshire DMV test unique?
New Hampshire's exam covers winter mountain driving (White Mountains), seasonal frost-heave roads, and the state's unique adult seatbelt stance.
New Hampshire is the only US state where adults (18+) are not required to wear seatbelts, though all drivers under 18 must.
Despite no adult seatbelt law, it's still tested on the exam — know the juvenile requirements cold.
