Alberta driving test practice

Government of Alberta runs driver licensing in Alberta. Tests are booked and delivered by private registry agents rather than by a single government office, so the counter you walk up to is a local business.

Road signs and the subjects behind them

Every one of the 41 signs on this site is our own drawing, made to the standard shapes and colours rather than traced from official artwork. Shape and colour first, meaning second, which is the order you read them in on the road.

The licence journey in Alberta

Each stage has to be held before the next one opens, so the order below is also the timetable. Government of Alberta sets every hold period on it.

Alberta starts younger than anywhere else in the country, and it tests through private registry agents rather than through one government office, so the counter you walk up to is a local business with its own hours and its own service charge. The knowledge test can end before the last question. The rules that catch visitors out are the zone signs, which run on times a municipality sets, and the winter, which is longer and colder than most of the country plans for. These notes cover what is different about learning to drive in Alberta.

  1. Class 7, Class 7 learner licence

    The first stage, and the earliest start in the country. You pass the Class 7 knowledge test, then drive with a supervising driver in the front passenger seat.

  2. Class 5 GDL, Class 5 graduated licence

    You pass the basic road test and drive alone under graduated conditions, including a zero alcohol limit and a lower demerit threshold.

  3. Class 5, Full Class 5 licence

    The full licence. An advanced road test takes the graduated conditions off and gives you an unrestricted Class 5.

Common questions

What people ask about testing in Alberta, answered with the source underneath.

How many questions are on the Alberta Class 7 test?

Thirty, pulled from a much larger pool. Pass means 25 correct, which works out at 83 percent.

Government of Alberta published Class 7 licensing and knowledge test informationverified 2026-08-27
How many mistakes can you make on the Class 7 test?

Five. You need 25 correct out of 30, and the kiosk calls the test a fail as soon as your sixth wrong answer lands.

Government of Alberta published Class 7 licensing and knowledge test informationverified 2026-08-27
Does the Alberta knowledge test end early?

It does, in both directions. Reach 25 correct answers and the kiosk stops there and passes you. Reach 6 wrong answers and it stops there and fails you. Either way you may never see all 30 questions.

Government of Alberta published Class 7 licensing and knowledge test informationverified 2026-08-27
What does the Class 7 knowledge test cost?

About $17. Registry agents are private businesses and set their own service charge, so the exact amount moves a little from one office to the next.

Government of Alberta published Class 7 licensing and knowledge test informationverified 2026-08-27
How old do you have to be to start driving in Alberta?

Fourteen. That is the earliest start of any province or territory in Canada, and it is the age at which you can sit the Class 7 knowledge test.

Government of Alberta published Class 7 licensing and knowledge test informationverified 2026-08-27
What are the Alberta licence stages?

Class 7 as the learner stage, then Class 5 with graduated conditions after the basic road test, then a full Class 5 once you pass the advanced road test.

Where do the Alberta practice questions here come from?

Alberta publishes its Driver's Guide under an open licence that allows commercial reuse with attribution, so our Alberta questions are written from the current edition of the guide and cite it directly.
