The app's New Brunswick practice test has the same 2 parts, answered one after another. Each part is scored on its own against its pass mark, and you see a result for each part as well as your total. On the signs part, it draws the three must-know signs (stop, yield and school zone), and all three must be right to pass, as on the real test. Every result is a practice result only, never an official one.
The three signs you must not miss
On the New Brunswick sign test, these three signs must be identified correctly. Our drawings are original artwork, not official images.

How to study for it
Read the handbook first
The test is based on the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook. Read the chapters on signs, rules of the road and your licence before you drill questions.
Learn signs by shape and colour
Shape and colour tell you the type of sign before you can read it: an eight-sided red sign means stop, a diamond is a warning. Then learn each exact meaning.
Practise each part on its own
Each part has its own pass mark, so a good total isn't enough. Make sure you are solid on every part.
Fix your mistakes, not just your score
For each question you miss, read why your choice was wrong. The app brings it back in your plan so it sticks.
Book when you pass consistently
Take full practice tests and book the real one when you pass them again and again, not once.
