Alberta Class 7 Practice Test
Last updated:
Work through the full 500-question bank at your own speed. Nothing is timed, every answer comes with an explanation, and the app remembers where you left off.
What practice mode actually is
Practice mode is the study half of this site. You get one question at a time, you pick an answer, and you find out immediately whether you were right and why. There is no clock and no pass mark — a wrong answer here is just a topic you now know to look at again. That makes it the right mode for the first few weeks, when you are still learning the material rather than testing whether you have learned it.
The bank holds more than 500 questions, which is far more than you will see on the real exam. That surplus is deliberate. Because the questions rotate, you cannot pass by memorising a fixed sequence; you have to recognise the rule behind each one. Work through the whole bank once and you will meet the same rule phrased three or four ways, and that repetition is what makes it stick.
What the question bank covers
Questions are written from the Alberta Driver's Guide and spread across the topics the knowledge test draws on:
- Speed limits, following distance and safe stopping
- Right of way at intersections, roundabouts and uncontrolled corners
- Traffic signals, including green arrows and flashing lights
- Lane markings, passing, merging and backing up
- Parking rules and where stopping is prohibited
- Sharing the road with trucks, cyclists, pedestrians and emergency vehicles
- Winter and poor-visibility driving
- Impaired driving, penalties and licence conditions
- Road signs and their shapes and colours
Weak areas show up quickly. If you keep missing lane-marking questions, that is a signal to reread that chapter of the guide before you spend another hour answering at random.
Saving and resuming your progress
Your position in the bank and your answer history are kept in your browser, so closing the tab does not throw away the session. Come back on the same device and you pick up at the next unseen question rather than starting from question one. Nothing is uploaded and no account is created — the trade-off is that progress does not follow you to a different device. Ten minutes at a time on a bus adds up as well as one long sitting, and short repeated sessions are better for recall anyway.
Sample questions
Seven questions pulled straight from the bank, with the correct answer marked and the reasoning shown.
Question 1
Unless otherwise posted, what is the basic speed limit outside a city, town or village on a primary highway?
- 100 km/h
- 90 km/h
- 110 km/h
- 80 km/h
Why: The default speed limit on primary highways outside municipalities in Alberta is 100 km/h unless a different limit is posted.
Question 2
When backing a passenger vehicle to the left, a driver should:
- Look over the right shoulder with brief glances ahead
- Look over the left shoulder with brief glances ahead
- Watch the inside rear-view mirror and steer by feel
- Use both outside mirrors and skip the shoulder check
Why: When backing to the left, look over your left shoulder with occasional glances to the front.
Question 3
When facing a green right-turn arrow alongside a red light, a driver:
- Must stop and wait for a solid green before turning right
- May proceed straight through with caution
- May proceed in the direction of the arrow when safe
- Must treat the signal as a flashing yellow and yield
Why: A green arrow with a red light means you may proceed only in the direction of the arrow when safe.
Question 4
When passing a large truck on a two-way highway, a driver should:
- Leave extra room before returning to their lane
- Return when signalled by the truck's headlights
- Return when the truck is no longer visible in mirrors
- Return once they've cleared the truck's front bumper
Why: Large trucks have significant blind spots. Leave extra room before returning to your lane after passing.
Question 5
Which best describes the steps for turning right at a red traffic light?
- Slow, signal, look right, then proceed without stopping
- Signal, stop, check for prohibiting signs, yield, then proceed
- Stop, signal, look left for cross traffic, then proceed
- Right turns on red are permitted only between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Why: To turn right on red: signal, check for prohibiting signs, stop completely, look both ways, yield, then proceed.
Question 6
A single solid white line between driving lanes in an urban area means:
- It separates traffic moving in opposite directions
- Slower traffic must keep to the right of the line
- Lane changes are not permitted across the line
- Lane changes are permitted with extra caution
Why: A solid white line between lanes means lane changing is not permitted in that area.
Question 7
A 'parking lane' as defined in the Handbook is:
- The curbside lane reserved for permit-holding vehicles
- The strip between the right highway edge and the nearest solid white line
- Any urban lane that runs alongside metered parking spaces
- The lane closest to the curb where no meters are installed
Why: A parking lane is the portion of a primary highway between the right edge and the nearest solid white line (not centre line).
Common questions
How many questions are in the practice test?
More than 500, and practice mode draws from all of them.
Is it free?
Yes — every question, explanation and sign, with no paywall.
How long does it take?
There is no timer. Most learners get through 25 to 40 questions in a sitting, roughly 15 to 25 minutes.
Do I need an account?
No. Progress is stored in your browser, so there is no sign-up.
How many times can I retake it?
As often as you like, and you can reset your progress to start over.
Are these the real exam questions?
No. They are written from the official Driver's Guide and cover the same rules, but the government does not publish its actual test items.
