Practice Learners Test

This online Alberta practice learners test, with multiple choice questions, is intended to help you prepare for the Alberta Class 7 knowledge test that is required before you can get your driver’s license. This free practice written driving test is a lesson that is essential for getting your Alberta driver’s license at your local licensing office. It is all FREE!

To qualify for a road test, you must ace your written knowledge test. Most people under-estimate the written knowledge test thinking they can pass without adequate preparation. Of course, they realize they were mistaken once they start doing the permit test. By why not prepare yourself for success by knowing what to expect?

The Application
The application process is no doubt the easiest part of the written exam. All you have to do is show proof of citizenship/identity, province residency, and completion of driver’s education program. In addition, you will need to complete a vision test at the testing centre.

The Testing Format
Depending on your location, you can expect to do the written exam either on paper or on a computer. The questions vary and are usually in multiple-choice format. Additionally, the numbers of questions differ according to your licence class. The average time you’re expected to complete the written test is 60 minutes.

The Defensive Driving Course helps you improve your driving skills! If you’ve completed the government approved defensive driving course, you may be able to save on your auto insurance premiums.
