This page turns our Prince Edward Island question bank into a paper test. It lays out 100 Class 7 practice questions, spread across all 18 topics, so you get both halves of what the knowledge test checks: road sign recognition and the rules of the road. That covers Stage 1 supervision and passenger limits, the 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. rule, school buses and the 6-metre stop, funeral processions, roundabouts, winter driving, demerit points and impaired driving. The answer key starts on a fresh page after question 100, so you can work through the sheet before you look.

Every question is original and written from the Prince Edward Island Driver's Handbook and the 2023 Graduated Driver Licensing booklet; each answer in the key has a short explanation and the handbook page it comes from. Highway Safety does not release its test questions, and the handbook gives neither the number of questions nor a pass mark, so no PDF online is the real test. Mark yourself against 80%, the same practice target our 30-question mock exams use. Then go back to the topic tests for anything you missed and finish with a timed mock exam on screen.
