How we write our questions

Our source policy: where the questions come from, how they are checked, and how errors are fixed.

Last updated: October 18, 2026

The short version

  • Questions are original. They are not real or recalled test questions.
  • Every question is written from the official handbook for that test and names the section it comes from.
  • Facts about the test itself (number of questions, pass mark, fees) link to the official government page and show the date we checked it.
  • Automated checks do not prove that every answer is correct. Use the linked official sources alongside these exercises.

Current review status

The published English banks contain 15,256 question records across 62 exams as of October 18, 2026. French editions translate 14,370 of those records across 57 exams; translations are not additional original questions. Every current question record still has the internal review status draft. We do not have an item-by-item human approval log and do not claim that the whole bank has been manually verified.

These exercises can support revision, but we have not measured learners' real-exam pass rates or validated score predictions. They do not replace official preparation, required training or certification. The language tools are practice drills, not a complete official-format language exam.

Why there are no "real" questions

We do not have a licensed official exam bank or a collection of recalled test questions. Our question wording and explanations are original practice material based on the sources linked on the page. Official sample questions should be accessed directly through the relevant exam authority.

How a question is made

  1. Read the handbook. We take each chapter of the official guide and write down the testable facts: numbers, conditions, sign meanings, who yields to whom.
  2. Write the question. Each question tests one fact, has one clearly correct answer and three plausible wrong ones. Questions may be drafted with the help of AI tools, working only from our handbook notes; they are never asked to recall official test content.
  3. Explain it. The explanation says what the rule is and why the other choices are wrong, then cites the handbook section.
  4. Check it automatically. A script rejects questions with duplicate or overlapping choices, missing explanations, missing sources, "all of the above" answers, near-duplicate wording, and answer keys that always land on the same letter.
  5. Human verification remains incomplete. Published status describes availability, not completed manual approval. The current records do not substantiate a claim that a person reviewed every batch or every sensitive rule.

Every question shows its source

Under every explanation you will see Based on: followed by the handbook chapter and section the question was written from, and a link to that page of the official handbook on the government website. You can check any answer yourself in one click. We never copy handbook text into our questions or explanations; we write the rule in our own words and point you to the original. If a source looks wrong, use the "Report a problem" button on the question and we will check it against the handbook.

Road sign images

Sign images are our own drawings that follow the standard Canadian shapes and colours. They are not copies of government artwork.

Videos and books

Our English driving banks include 241 short, self-hosted explainer videos across 13 exams. These are practice explanations, not footage from real exams. Video pages also list selected third-party YouTube videos and load nothing from YouTube until you press play. Book pages list the free official guide first. Links to Amazon.ca may earn us a commission where disclosed.

When rules change

When a province changes a rule or the test format, we update the affected questions and facts, change the page's last updated date, and record the change on the rule updates page. We never change the date without changing the content.

Mistakes

If you think an answer is wrong, use Report a problem under the question. Include the official source and the disputed rule. Reports need review against the source; we do not guarantee a correction deadline.
