Built for New Mexico roads

  • Open-range awareness: Learn why “Cattle Guard” and “Open Range” signs matter and how to adjust speed and scanning at dusk.
  • Two-lane rural etiquette: Passing rules, safe following distances, and crest-of-hill visibility on highways like US-285 and US-550.
  • Mountain pass control: Engine braking, downhill speed management, and turn-out etiquette on routes near Taos and Ruidoso.
  • Dust-storm and high-wind safety: Reduced-visibility procedures on I-10/I-40 and how to re-enter traffic safely.
  • Signs that matter in NM: From “Wildlife Crossing” to “Tribal Lands” notices—train recognition until it’s automatic.

What’s inside the app

  • True exam simulator: Same pacing and structure as the MVD test with fresh randomized sets every attempt.
  • Explanations that teach: Every answer includes the “why,” so you build real judgment, not just memory.
  • Adaptive analytics: The app highlights weak areas and suggests targeted practice sessions.
  • Offline friendly: Study anywhere—from the high desert to the mountains—no constant internet required.

  1. Warm up with Signs Trainer for 10–15 minutes (daily).
  2. Run a simulated exam and review every explanation—right or wrong.
  3. Use Targeted Practice to close gaps in the topics you miss most.
