DriveTest Canada

Practice built to the exam you will actually sit

Licensing in Canada is provincial, so a practice test is only worth sitting if it copies the exam in front of you. Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec are written in full, across car, motorcycle, truck and taxi, with the real length, the real pass mark and the real way a run ends.

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.

Start with your province

Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec carry the whole thing: every published number for the test, a bank of questions written against the rules that apply there, and the record named under each figure.

The other jurisdictions, and what is thinner there

13 provinces and territories issue driver licences and there is no federal driving test. These 9 pages name the body that runs licensing and the shape of the stages. They carry no question bank yet, and they stay short until every number on them can be traced to the body that published it.

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

1148 questions, 472 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.

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.

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 this site will not do

These are build rules rather than promises, and the markup can be checked against every one of them.

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.

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 Dulgunde, a software engineer and driving enthusiast. There is no company behind it and no bought question bank. One person writing it is the reason every page can name 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?

1148 at the moment: 137 for Ontario, 126 for British Columbia, 125 for Alberta and 108 for Quebec. 472 of them show a road sign and 676 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 Ontario release names centres and numbers but not places, which is why only 56 of the centre pages are complete enough to publish. The rest are readable and marked for what they are missing.
