About the Nova Scotia Written Test

Before you can get behind the wheel, you’ll need to pass the Nova Scotia written knowledge test. The test is designed to ensure that new drivers understand:

• Nova Scotia road signs and their meanings

• Rules of the road and right-of-way situations

• Safe driving habits and defensive driving techniques

• Sharing the road with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles

The test typically includes two sections — one for road signs and another for rules of the road. You need at least 80 percent in each section to pass.
