Do You See the Correct Answers After Failing the New Jersey Defensive Driving Course (DDC) Final Exam
Yes. After each proficiency exam attempt in the New Jersey Defensive Driving Course (DDC) from Driving Logic, the system displays the correct and incorrect answers for every question presented, along with an explanation for each. This applies whether the attempt was passed or failed.
What You See After Submitting the Exam
Immediately after completing a proficiency exam attempt, students receive:
A score showing how many questions were answered correctly
An indication of whether the attempt was passed or failed
The correct answer for every question on that attempt
An explanation of why each correct answer is right
This review is available after every attempt, not just failed ones.
How to Use the Review to Prepare for a Retake
Because correct answers and explanations are shown after each attempt, students who did not pass can:
Review every question from their attempt
Identify which topics they answered incorrectly
Focus their review on those specific areas before retaking
Return to the relevant course modules for additional study
Exam Retakes
Students who do not achieve the required 80% passing score on their first attempt may retake the proficiency exam up to two additional times, for a total of three attempts. A mandatory course review period is required between attempts.
Each exam attempt draws a new set of 40 questions randomly selected from the full 120-question bank, so the questions may differ between attempts.
After Passing the Exam
Once a passing score of 80% or higher is achieved:
A completion certificate is generated and available for download
Driving Logic submits completion records to the New Jersey MVC
Administrative processing timelines vary
