Out in the country, a gravel road meets a highway at a stop sign with nothing painted and no sidewalk. How close must you stop?
SGI Sign Test Practice – Saskatchewan Class 7
Practise the sign identification part of the SGI Class 7 test: 60 questions on sign shapes, colours, regulatory, warning, construction and guide signs.
- No sign-up
- Every answer explained
- Independent · not a government site
- 60 questions
- Instant feedback
- Free, no sign-up
SGI splits the Class 7 knowledge test into two parts, and sign identification is one of them. Each part is marked on its own and a failed part is rewritten by itself, so it makes sense to prepare for the sign test as if it were a separate exam. This page pulls 60 questions only from the signs side of our bank: the basic shapes and colours, regulatory signs, yellow warning signs and railway crossings, orange construction signs, green guide signs, traffic signals and pavement markings.
Instead of several short numbered sign tests, this is one longer drill that draws evenly from every sign topic, so a single pass covers the whole Traffic signs and signals chapter of the handbook. Learn to name a sign from its outline before you read it: in Saskatchewan the octagon is only ever stop, the red-bordered triangle is yield, the fluorescent yellow-green pentagon marks a school zone and orange means construction or maintenance. When you reach 54 out of 60, try a full mock exam.

FAQ
SGI sign test practice: common questions
Is the SGI sign test separate from the rules test?
Yes. The Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook describes two parts: a Basic test on driving situations and the rules of the road, and a Sign test. If you fail one, you rewrite only that part. You can write only once per day, so a retry is on another day.
How many questions are on the SGI sign test?
SGI's handbook does not give the number of questions or the pass mark. The whole test is widely reported as about 40 questions split between signs and rules, with 80 per cent to pass, but confirm the current format with SGI or a motor licence issuer.
Is there a different sign test for Class 5?
In Saskatchewan you write the knowledge test, sign part included, to get the Class 7 learner's licence, which is the first step toward Class 5. After at least nine months as a learner and driver education, the next step is the Class 5 road test.
