NT Driver Knowledge Test study plan

Memorise every regulatory sign category (stop, give way, speed, no-entry, clearway) and state the required driver action for each without notes

Recite the default urban and rural speed limits and the school-zone and roadwork speed rules

Draw the four give-way scenarios (uncontrolled crossroad, T-junction, roundabout, turning across traffic) and label who yields in each

Complete 60 untimed practice questions drawn only from domains 1 and 3 and log every error with the rule it tested

Explain the meaning of each line marking (solid centre line, broken line, edge line, painted island, stop line) and when crossing is legal

Apply roundabout lane selection and exit signalling rules to ten written scenarios

Distinguish lane-use rules for bus lanes, transit lanes and bicycle lanes, including permitted entry times

Answer 80 timed practice questions across domains 1 and 3 at 90 seconds per question and score at least 85%

Resolve parking, stopping and clearway restrictions by reading sign combinations and time plates

Work through turning rules at traffic lights, including slip lanes, median turns and hook turns if applicable in the jurisdiction

Identify which lane a driver must occupy before turning and state the mirror-signal-head-check sequence

Re-test all previously logged errors from weeks 1 and 2 and clear at least 90% of them

State the stopping distances at 40, 60, 80 and 100 km/h and explain the effect of wet roads and fatigue on each

Describe the standard crash-avoidance response to a pedestrian stepping out, a vehicle braking hard ahead and a cyclist swerving

Explain following-distance rules including the two-second and four-second wet-weather gaps

Match each hazard category (moving, fixed, weather, traffic) to a scanning technique used to detect it early

Explain the effects of alcohol, drugs, fatigue and distraction on reaction time and judgement, and state the relevant legal limits

Apply the correct response to emergency vehicles, breakdowns, and roadside incidents

Describe safe behaviour around heavy vehicles, including blind spots and overtaking distances

Complete 70 timed domain 2 questions and score at least 85%

List the licence classes, the conditions attached to learner and provisional licences, and the penalties for breaching them

State the demerit-point thresholds, suspension rules and the effect of double-demerit periods

Explain vehicle standards obligations: registration, roadworthiness, tyres, lights and load restraint

Describe the legal duties after a crash, including stopping, exchanging details and reporting requirements

Answer 60 mixed questions on road law obligations and road rules under timed conditions at 90% accuracy

Recite the blood-alcohol limits for learner, provisional and full licence holders

Explain the rules for seatbelts, child restraints, mobile phone use and helmet requirements

Review every remaining error from the full error log and close out unresolved items

Sit three full-length mock tests under exam conditions and score at least 90% on each

Review each mock test within 24 hours and correct every wrong answer with a written explanation

Rehearse the highest-risk rules from all four domains in a 30-minute rapid recall session

Confirm test-day logistics, including booking, identification documents and licence eligibility
