Check your score
Your final score shows you whether you are in passing range (80%+) or need more practice before your MVC appointment.
You passed the permit test. Now what?
The permit test takes a day. The next six months take work.
New Jersey requires 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, over a 6-month period before your teen can apply for a probationary license. Most families end up guessing at hours from memory or juggling a paper log that gets lost. NJDrive50 was built to solve exactly that.
Log each supervised drive in seconds — date, time, conditions, and notes.
See progress toward the 50-hour and 10-hour nighttime requirements at a glance.
Keep parents and teens working from the same numbers, no spreadsheets needed.
Get reminded before the 6-month clock runs out on the road test window.
NJDrive50 is free — no subscription, no hidden fees.
Used by NJ families to track every supervised drive from permit to probationary license.
