DriveTest Canada

Practice that follows the exam you will actually sit

Canada has no national driving test. Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan have their own question banks across car, motorcycle, truck and taxi: 1447 practice questions, 537 of them on road signs, plus 41 signs drawn for the site. Each source carries the date it was checked against the provincial licensing body.

Free to use. No account, no payment, and nothing behind a paywall.

  • Built to the real format

    The length, the pass mark and the way a sitting ends are the ones the licensing body sets.

  • A record under every number

    Each fee, minimum age and hold period names the document it was read from and the day it was checked.

  • Questions written here

    Each one is our own prose from statute or an openly licensed handbook, with the reason the answer is the answer.

  • Nothing to sign up for

    Free to use. No account, no payment, and nothing in a test or a result held back.

Published test facts by jurisdiction

These pages name the licensing body, the test format, fees and licence stages that have been checked. A practice question bank is available for each province with a full test page.

What is inside

Five things, all free, none of them behind an account, and each one saying how much of it there is before you open it.

The question bank

1447 questions, 537 of them on signs

Written from statute and from the one openly licensed handbook, each with a plain explanation and the authority it rests on.

The road sign set

41 signs drawn here

Grouped so you read shape and colour first, the way you read a sign on the road, with what to do when you meet each one.

Road test pass rates

65 Ontario centres in the release

An Ontario freedom of information release, with each centre's pass rate, the median and the date the record was checked.

The guides

15 guides

Longer answers to the questions that come before and after a test, written the same way as the rest of the site.

Small tools

Timelines, costs, restrictions and the vehicle check

Timelines, costs, restrictions and the vehicle check, each one answering a single question with its rate and its source named.

What you can expect

You can practise without an account, keep your answers in your browser and see the source behind each published figure.

Nothing sold, nothing gated

No account, no email address, no paid plan, and no part of a test held back until you pay. There is nothing to buy here.

Your answers stay with you

What you answer is kept in your own browser and never reaches a server of ours. There is no account to attach it to, and clearing your browser data clears it.

No number without a record

Every figure names the document it came from and the date it was last read. Where a body publishes nothing, the page says so rather than filling the gap.

How the questions and the data are made

Reading before you sit down to practise

Three of the 15 guides, each answering one question that comes up over and over.

Right of way, and the cases people get wrong

Rules of the road

Which right of way situations people actually get wrong, drawn out one at a time, rather than a restatement of the rule in the handbook.

Road sign shapes and colours, and how to read a sign you have never seen

Signs

How to work out what an unfamiliar sign means from its shape and colour alone, instead of memorising every sign one at a time.
A highway in falling snow at dusk, the road ahead dissolving into white with the guardrail and the trees reduced to dark strokes on either side.Read

Winter driving, and what actually changes

Conditions

What actually changes about the way you drive on each kind of winter surface, and how to recover a skid, rather than a list of things to keep in the trunk.

Questions people ask before they start

What is this site, and who runs it?

DriveTest Canada is a free study site for Canadian knowledge tests, written and checked by Vikas D. There is no bought question bank, and every page names the record its numbers came from.

Do I need an account to practise here?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. What you answer stays in your own browser rather than on a server of ours.

How many practice questions are there?

1447 questions across all licence classes: 496 car, 235 motorcycle, 235 truck and 182 taxi and passenger transport. Car questions by province: 137 for Ontario, 126 for British Columbia, 125 for Alberta, 108 for Quebec, 73 for Manitoba, 75 for New Brunswick, 79 for Nova Scotia and 72 for Saskatchewan. 537 show a road sign and 910 ask about the rules of the road.

Are these the real exam questions?

No, and they are not copies of them. The exam banks belong to the licensing bodies. Ours are written in our own words from statute and from the one openly licensed provincial handbook, and each question names the authority it rests on.

Where do the pass rate figures come from?

Public records: Ontario road test results released under freedom of information law, and the reports of the province auditor general. Every figure on the site carries the name of the record it came from and the date we last checked it.

The verified DriveTest location list gives 56 permanent centre pages enough detail to publish. Temporary testing locations remain readable and stay out of search results.
