Some people prepare best on paper, away from a screen. This page lays out 100 SAAQ Class 5 practice questions you can print or save as a PDF, drawn evenly from all 17 topics in our bank, so the sheet covers the three sections of the real test: the Highway Safety Code, road signs, pavement markings and traffic signals, and safe driving behaviours. The answer key starts on a new page after question 100, so you can work through the questions before you see a single answer.
Every question was written by us from the SAAQ Driver's Handbook, and the key gives the correct choice, a short explanation and the handbook page behind it. The SAAQ does not release its own test questions, so no PDF circulating online is the actual exam. What the SAAQ does publish for free are its study guides: the Driver's Handbook, Driving a Passenger Vehicle and the Guide to Knowledge Test Illustrations. Mark your sheet by section, because on test day you need 75% in each one, then go back to the topic tests for your weakest section and finish with a 30-question mock exam.
