Alberta Class 7 knowledge test: format, languages and retakes
The confirmed Alberta Class 7 format, language and accessibility options, the daily retake rule, and what follows a pass.
What Alberta publishes about the Class 7 knowledge test, including its format, language options, accessibility support and retake rule.
The Class 7 knowledge test is the first step towards an Alberta learner licence. Alberta publishes the test length and pass mark, a daily limit on attempts, and language and audio options. The figure cards on this page carry the official source for each number.
Take the test at a registry agent. The agent is a private business, so its service charge and appointment process can vary. Alberta publishes a maximum rather than one provincial price, so confirm the total before booking.
The published test format
The test uses multiple-choice questions from the Alberta Driver’s Guide. The question count and the pass mark are shown below from the Government of Alberta record. The official page does not describe an early end to the real test, so this guide does not treat one as an Alberta rule.
Study the guide for the rule behind an answer, not for a recalled question. Official exam questions are not published for copying, and a practice question should be original rather than a remembered version of the exam.
The Alberta Class 7 knowledge test asks 30 questions drawn from a larger pool.

Alberta offers the computer test in a published set of languages. Audio is available with the computer test. An oral assisted test can be arranged through a registry agent, and Alberta states that oral testing is in English.
Ask the registry agent about the support you need before you arrive. That gives the office time to arrange the correct sitting rather than asking you to return on another day.
If you need another attempt
Alberta allows one knowledge-test attempt per day. A failed attempt therefore means booking another day, not returning to the counter for an immediate rewrite.
Use the time between attempts to identify the rule behind each missed topic. Signs, right of way, safe following distance, winter driving and licence conditions are all better revised from the guide than from a list of recalled prompts.
How our practice run ends
Our Class 7 simulation ends when its correct or wrong-answer counter reaches the simulation threshold. It is a practice rule that keeps feedback and scoring consistent within this site. Alberta does not publish that early end as a rule of the real knowledge test.
The practice run is useful for reviewing original questions and explanations. It is not an official exam and it does not replace the Alberta Driver’s Guide or advice from the registry agent where your test is booked.
After you pass
A pass starts the Class 7 learner stage. The minimum age and the published learner conditions belong to the licence path, not to the knowledge-test score itself. Read those conditions before you drive with a supervisor.
The next move is a Class 5 road test. The Alberta licensing page explains the learner stage, the graduated Class 5 stage and the full Class 5 stage.
Alberta issues a Class 7 learner licence from age 14, the earliest start in Canada.
