The Class 7L learner's licence is the first stage of Alberta's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program. There is no driving-school requirement before the knowledge test — you can study on your own, walk into any registry agent office and write it the same day.
What you need to bring: proof of identity and Alberta residency, and payment for the $17 test fee plus the licence fee. Applicants under 18 need consent from a parent or guardian. You must be at least 14 years old.
On the day: the test is 30 multiple-choice questions on a screen at the registry. There is no time limit. It stops as soon as you reach 25 correct (pass) or 6 wrong (fail). If you fail you can rewrite — most registries let you retry the same day or the next, paying the fee again each attempt.
Passing the learners test gets you a Class 7L, not a full licence. While you hold it:
Full details are in our Alberta GDL Program Guide, including how the hold period shortens if you complete an approved driver-education course.
Most people who fail do so on road signs and right-of-way rules, not on obscure trivia. A focused week is usually enough:
The Alberta learners practice test is a free online simulation of the Class 7 knowledge test you take at a registry office to receive your learner's licence (Class 7L). It covers all 200 questions from the Alberta Driver's Guide — road signs, traffic rules, GDL restrictions, and safe driving.
The real test has 30 questions, drawn randomly from a pool of 200. The test ends early if you hit 25 correct (pass) or 6 wrong (fail). Our practice test gives you access to all 200 so you're ready for any combination.
Yes — 100% free, no account, no credit card. Take it as many times as you want. The only cost is the $17 registry fee on the day of the real test.
You need 25 correct answers out of 30 (83%) to pass. We recommend aiming for 90%+ on this practice test so you have a comfortable buffer on the real exam.
You must be at least 14 years old. Applicants under 18 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who generally has to attend the registry with you.
The knowledge test fee is $17, paid at the registry agent each time you write it, plus the separate fee for the licence itself once you pass. This practice test is free.
No. Alberta registry agents accept walk-ins for knowledge tests. Arrive well before closing time — some offices stop issuing tests 30 to 60 minutes early.
You can rewrite it. Most registries allow a retry the same day or the next, and the $17 fee applies to each attempt. There is no limit on the number of attempts.
At least 12 months before you can attempt the Class 5 GDL road test. See our GDL guide for how an approved driver-education course affects this.
Yes. The full test on our home page is available in 9 languages — English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Korean and Hindi. Note that the real registry test itself is administered in English.
Where the questions come from. All 200 questions are written from the official Alberta driver's guides published by the Government of Alberta, which is also the source the registry test is built on.
How facts are verified. Rules, thresholds and fees are checked against alberta.ca and, where a specific regulation matters, against Alberta's Traffic Safety Act regulations. When Alberta changes a rule we update the affected questions — for example the collision-reporting threshold rose from $2,000 to $5,000 effective 1 January 2024, and our questions reflect the current figure.
Corrections. Every question shows an explanation so you can check our reasoning rather than take it on trust. If you spot an error, tell us — reader reports are fact-checked against official sources and fixed, usually within a day.
Independence. This is a free study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of Alberta, and passing it does not guarantee passing the official test.
