NZTA is about to add 52 new questions to the learner licence test β here are a few examples.
The questions will go live in the testing system on 1 December 2025. In the test people are asked 35 questions from our pool of questions and must answer 32 correctly to pass.
You can find the new questions on nzta website (linked below) to help you prepare. If you have friends or family studying for the test, let them know about this. We list the questions but not the answers β you'll have to study for those!
If you already have your driver licence, this is a good reminder we should all be able to answer these questions. They include:
β’ You're driving slower than the speed limit and notice there are vehicles following you. What should you do?
β’ How must you signal when travelling straight ahead at a roundabout?
β’ What's the best way to merge when two lanes are merging into one lane?
These and the other new questions are now available on our website in English and te reo MΔori.

We've also had the questions translated into the additional languages the theory test can be taken in: Arabic, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Fijian, Filipino, Gujarati, Hindi, Korean, Punjabi, Samoan, Thai, and Tongan.
Our adding more questions to the test ensures people taking the test have a thorough knowledge of current road rules and safe driving before they can drive on our roads.
