Key facts: Alberta Class 7 Learner's Knowledge Test

Free Alberta Class 7 learner's practice tests written from the official Alberta Driver's Guide (Spring 2026 edition). Every question is original, has an explanation for each answer, and names the guide page it comes from. No sign-up, no limits, and your progress is saved on your device.

The real knowledge test is taken on a computer at an Alberta registry agent office. According to Alberta.ca it has 30 multiple-choice questions and you need 25 correct to pass, so you can miss only five. Work through the practice tests in order, drill the topics where your accuracy is lowest, then take a timed mock exam in the same 30-question format.

Sample Alberta Class 7 questions

Tap a question to see the answer. The full interactive test is at the top of the page.
  1. 1A large X painted on a rural highway indicates:
    • A. A no-parking area
    • B. A school crossing
    • C. An approaching railway crossing
    • D. An intersection where U-turns are prohibited

    X markings on rural highways show the approach to a railway crossing. An advance warning sign also marks it.

  2. 2When merging onto a highway, who has the right-of-way?
    • A. Neither; merging is a shared responsibility
    • B. The merging vehicle
    • C. The faster vehicle
    • D. Vehicles already travelling in the right-hand lane

    Neither the merging vehicle nor the vehicles on the highway have the right-of-way. Both must cooperate to allow a safe merge.

  3. 3The railway crossing lights are flashing and bells are ringing. How close to the nearest rail may you stop?
    • A. No closer than 5 metres
    • B. On the first rail
    • C. No closer than 20 metres
    • D. No closer than 1 metre

    The vehicle nearest the crossing must stop at least five metres back from the nearest rail and wait until the lights and bells stop.

  4. 4White lines separate traffic travelling in:
    • A. Parking lanes
    • B. Opposite directions
    • C. Bicycle lanes only
    • D. The same direction

    White lines mean vehicles on each side of the line travel in the same direction.

  5. 5Is it legal to pass on a curve on a highway with one lane in each direction?
    • A. Yes, with a broken yellow line
    • B. No, it is unsafe and illegal
    • C. Yes, if the curve is gentle
    • D. Yes, during daylight

    Do not pass vehicles on curves on highways with one lane in each direction. It is unsafe and illegal.

  6. 6Why is carbon monoxide especially dangerous?
    • A. It is colourless, odourless and tasteless
    • B. It only builds up in new cars with sealed cabins
    • C. It causes the engine to stall
    • D. It smells strongly of gas

    Carbon monoxide is poisonous and cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Have your exhaust system checked during servicing.

  7. 7Why should you not stop in a marked 'no stopping zone' near an intersection?
    • A. It is a waiting area for pedestrians at the crossing
    • B. Large vehicles may need that space to turn
    • C. It is reserved for taxis
    • D. It is a bus lane

    No stopping zones are usually where large vehicles need extra room to turn from one roadway to another.

  8. 8You are turning right and a car is parked close to the corner in the curb lane of the street you're entering. Where should you turn?
    • A. Wait until the parked car leaves
    • B. Into the first available lane to the left of the parked car
    • C. Wide into the far lane
    • D. Into the curb lane, then stop behind the parked car

    If the first lane has a parked car close to the corner, turn into the first available lane to its left, yielding to traffic approaching from your left in that lane.

  9. 9In an urban area, how far ahead should you look while driving?
    • A. 12 to 15 seconds, about a block or more
    • B. Just past the end of your hood
    • C. 40 to 60 seconds ahead of your car
    • D. 2 to 3 seconds ahead of your car

    In urban areas look at least 12–15 seconds ahead (about 1–1.5 blocks); in rural areas at least 20–25 seconds.

  10. 10There is room for only one vehicle ahead of you to wait in the intersection to turn left. Where should you wait?
    • A. Beside the car that is already waiting
    • B. Partly in the oncoming traffic lane
    • C. Inside the crosswalk, ready to go
    • D. Behind the crosswalk until it clears

    Remain behind the crosswalk if there is only room for one vehicle ahead. Enter when the vehicle ahead clears the intersection, if it is legal.

About the test

About the Alberta Class 7 Learner's Knowledge Test

The Class 7 knowledge test is the first step in Alberta's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program. Every new driver, whatever their age, starts here. Pass it, along with a vision screening, and you receive a Class 7 learner's licence. You must be at least 14, show valid identification, and have a parent or guardian sign consent if you are under 18.

The questions come from the Driver's Guide for cars and light trucks. They cover three broad areas: road signs and traffic signals, the rules of the road (right-of-way, turning, passing, parking, speed limits and school and playground zones), and safe and legal driving (following distance, skids, night driving, sharing the road, demerit points and impaired-driving penalties). The guide also covers material that is mainly useful for the road test, such as steering technique and parking steps, so expect a few questions on those as well.

There is a fee for every attempt and you may write the test only once per day. The electronic test is offered in 25 languages, including English, French, Punjabi, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Tagalog, Spanish, Ukrainian and Cree, and an audio option reads the questions aloud. After you pass, take your knowledge test permit to a registry agent so your licence record is updated.

Once you hold a Class 7 you are a learner for at least one year. You may drive only with a fully licensed (non-GDL) driver aged 18 or older sitting next to you, you may not drive between midnight and 5 a.m., you may not carry more passengers than there are seat belts, and you must have zero alcohol and zero drugs in your system. Reaching eight demerit points brings an automatic suspension. After the year, at 16 or older, you can take the Class 5 road test to become a Class 5-GDL probationary driver.

This site is an independent study resource. It is not affiliated with the Government of Alberta, Transportation and Economic Corridors, or any registry agent. Our questions are original and written from the public Driver's Guide; they are not the official test questions, which are not published.

Study plan

How to prepare

  1. 1Download the free Driver's Guide (Spring 2026) and read chapters 1 to 9 once from start to finish. Chapter 10 (towing a trailer) is rarely relevant for a learner.
  2. 2Take practice test 1 cold, without studying first. Your score by topic shows where you are weakest; those chapters are where to start.
  3. 3Learn the numbers. Many lost marks are numbers: 30 km/h in school and playground zones, school-zone hours (8:00–9:30, 11:30–1:30, 3:00–4:30 on school days), playground hours (8:30 a.m. to one hour after sunset, every day), 5 m from hydrants, stop signs and crosswalks, 50 cm from the curb, 150 m for headlights, 300 m for dimming, and 20 m from a stopped school bus.
  4. 4Drill road signs and signals until you score 100% on them. Know shapes and colours (octagon, triangle, pentagon, diamond), and what flashing red, flashing yellow and Alberta's flashing green each mean.
  5. 5Learn the right-of-way rules as situations, not slogans: uncontrolled intersections (yield to the right, including at T intersections), four-way stops, roundabouts (yield to traffic in the circle, signal right to exit), and left turns on green.
  6. 6Know the learner and GDL rules cold — supervisor, curfew, passengers, zero alcohol, eight demerits — because they apply to you from day one.
  7. 7Take at least two timed 30-question mock exams. Aim for 28 or more before you book: the pass mark is 25, so you can afford only five mistakes on the real test.
  8. 8Review every question you miss and read the guide page it cites. Use the Missed filter to retry only those questions until you get them right.
