Free Nunavut driving test practice for the Class 7 learner's knowledge test, written from the official Nunavut Driver's Manual. Every question is original, explains why the right answer is right, and names the manual page it comes from. There is no sign-up and no limit, and your progress stays on your device.
The Nunavut written test has two parts, rules of the road and sign identification, and if you fail one part you rewrite only that part. So this site keeps the two apart as well: practise signs and rules separately by topic, then take a full mock exam that mixes both halves.

About the test
About the Nunavut Class 7 Learner's Knowledge Test
The Class 7 licence is Nunavut's learner's licence. It lets you drive a Class 5 vehicle (an ordinary car or light truck) or a Class 6 motorcycle while you are learning. According to the Nunavut Driver's Manual, you need to be at least 15, pass a written knowledge test, meet the vision standard and bring suitable identification such as a birth certificate, health care card or passport. The territory's licensing web page asks for a completed application form and two pieces of acceptable ID at your local Motor Vehicles office.
The manual describes the basic written examination as two parts. The first tests the rules of the road and safe driving practices; the second tests sign identification. If you fail any one part, you only have to rewrite the part you failed. The manual does not say how many questions each part has or what score you need, and we could not find those numbers on an official page, so ask your Motor Vehicles office before you book. Our mock exams use 15 questions per part and an 80 percent target in each part as a practice standard, not as the official format.
Driver examinations in Nunavut are by appointment only. You book in person at a driver examination office and pay the test fee when you make the appointment; if you cancel without telling the office ahead of time, you may lose the fee. The examiner can give the test orally if you have trouble reading it, and an interpreter may be allowed at the examiner's discretion. Motor Vehicles offices and Government Liaison Officers serve communities across the territory, from Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet to Cambridge Bay and Grise Fiord.
Several Nunavut rules differ from what you may have heard about southern provinces, and the test is written from the Nunavut manual only. The basic speed limit outside cities and towns is 90 km/h day or night, trucks are limited to 80 km/h, and towns default to 50 km/h. The manual spends whole pages on gravel roads and dust, tells you to slow to no more than 60 km/h when meeting a vehicle raising heavy dust, reserves flashing blue lights for snowplows, and uses blue for school signs. Accidents with injuries or more than $1,000 in damage are reported to the nearest RCMP office.
Once you have a Class 7, the next step for most people is the Class 5 road test, which requires you to be at least 16 and hold a valid learner's licence. The manual covers the road test too: what equipment your vehicle must have, why a test can be refused, and the skills the examiner checks. New residents who already hold a licence from another province, territory or state must switch to a Nunavut licence within 30 days.
Study plan
How to prepare
- 1Download the Nunavut Driver's Manual and read it once from start to finish. It is about 70 pages and every question here cites a page of it.
- 2Start with the sign identification part. Learn the Nunavut colour code first: red for stop or prohibition, yellow for warning, orange for construction, blue for school signs and services, green for direction, brown for off-road facilities.
- 3Then work through the rules topics one at a time. After each topic test, reread the manual page cited under every question you missed; the explanation names the exact condition the rule depends on.
- 4Make a short list of numbers: age 15 for Class 7, 90 and 50 km/h limits, 5 m and 15 m from the rail at railway crossings, 150 m behind a fire engine, 300 m and 60 m for dimming headlights, $1,000 for reporting an accident, 30 days for new residents.
- 5Give the gravel, dust and winter chapters real attention. They are a large part of the Nunavut manual and are full of practical rules, such as not braking in loose gravel and starting to slow three times earlier on snow.
- 6Practise both parts evenly. Because each part is marked on its own, a strong signs score will not rescue a weak rules score.
- 7When you can score 80 percent or better in each half of two different mock exams in a row, call or visit your Motor Vehicles office to book.
- 8On test day bring your identification and the application form, wear your glasses or contact lenses if you need them to see, and ask the examiner if any question is unclear instead of guessing.
FAQ
Nunavut Class 7 test questions people ask
How many questions are on the Nunavut Class 7 knowledge test?
The Nunavut Driver's Manual does not publish a question count. It says the basic written test has two parts, rules of the road and sign identification. Our mock exams use 30 questions, 15 per part, as a practice format; ask your Motor Vehicles office for the current official format.
What is the passing score for the Nunavut learner's test?
The manual does not state a pass mark, and we could not confirm one on an official Government of Nunavut page. What it does say is that each part is marked separately and you rewrite only the part you fail. We use 80 percent in each part as a practice target.
How old do you have to be to get a Class 7 licence in Nunavut?
At least 15. You also need to pass the written knowledge test, meet the vision standard and provide suitable identification. To move on to the Class 5 road test you must be at least 16 and hold a valid learner's licence.
How much does the Nunavut written test cost?
The manual says a prescribed fee is paid when you make your appointment, and a re-test needs an additional fee. It does not list the amount, so check with your local Motor Vehicles office or the Motor Vehicle Services line on gov.nu.ca.
Where do I take the test, and can I take it online?
The manual says examinations are by appointment only and are booked in person at a driver examination office. It does not mention an online test. Motor Vehicles offices and Government Liaison Officers in communities across Nunavut can tell you when an examiner is available.
Can I take the test orally, in French or in Inuktitut?
If you have trouble reading the written test, the examiner may give it to you orally, and if you do not speak the language an interpreter may be used at the examiner's discretion. The manual does not list which languages the written test comes in, so ask your Motor Vehicles office.
What happens if I fail one part of the test?
You rewrite only the part you failed. For example, if you pass rules of the road but fail sign identification, you retake sign identification only. Expect to pay a fee for each new appointment.
How long is a Nunavut driver's licence valid?
The manual says a Nunavut licence is issued for five years and expires on your birthday, and it can be renewed in person as long as it has not been expired for more than a year. It does not give a separate validity period for the Class 7 learner's licence, so confirm that when you apply.
What is on the Nunavut knowledge test?
The rules part covers the rules of the road and safe driving practices from the whole manual: right-of-way, turning, passing, parking, speed limits, gravel and winter driving, emergencies, accidents, and alcohol and drugs. The signs part tests regulatory, warning, school, construction and service signs. Our 18 topics follow the manual's chapters.
Are these the real Nunavut test questions?
No. The real test questions are not public. Every question here is original, written by us from the Nunavut Driver's Manual, and cites the page it comes from. The manual ends with a short list of typical examination questions, and most of the topics on that list are covered in our bank.
