What's on the real test
The SGI Class 7 knowledge test is 40 multiple-choice questions, split into two 20-question sections — one on road signs and one on rules of the road. The two sections are scored independently and you need 16 out of 20 (80%) on each to pass. Pass one section and fail the other, and SGI lets you rewrite only the section you missed; fail both and you rewrite both. The test is written in person at any SGI motor-licence issuer; SGI does not offer an online Class 7 knowledge test. A test fee applies to each attempt, and most learners finish in 20 to 30 minutes.
- 40 questions — 20 road signs + 20 rules of the road
- 80% per section to pass — 16 out of 20 on each, independently
- Rewrite only the failed section — a hard-won pass on one half is not thrown out
- Written in person at any SGI motor-licence issuer
- Vision screening happens at the issuer before the knowledge test
What's in this question bank
Five hundred questions sourced from the Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook. About 150 cover signs, signals and pavement markings — regulatory octagons and circles, yellow-diamond warnings, orange construction, white information, overhead signals, and SGI-specific pavement markings. About 350 cover the rules — right-of-way at four-way stops and uncontrolled intersections, speed limits (urban default 50 km/h, highway 100 km/h, school 30 km/h on school days), the full Saskatchewan impaired-driving framework (zero BAC for learners, provincial 0.04 and 0.08 criminal thresholds), passing on two-lane highways, winter driving, railway crossings, insurance through the plate, and the six-stage GDL program.
Every explanation points back to the handbook chapter so when you miss a question you can see why, not just memorise the right letter. The GDL drill isolates the 35-question GDL pool for learners who want to lock down the restriction rules before mock day.
Saskatchewan Class 7 restrictions
The Class 7 licence is the first stage of a six-stage GDL program. Four restrictions are tested heavily on the knowledge exam and come up on almost every mock attempt:
- Zero alcohol and drugs — 0.00 blood alcohol at all times, with no exceptions, through every stage of GDL
- No night driving with non-family passengers — between midnight and 5 a.m. you may carry only immediate family
- Supervising driver — must hold a Class 5 non-GDL licence, be at least 18 years old, sit in the front passenger seat, and be sober
- Red "L" sign — posted on the back of the vehicle during the Class 7 stage
- No hand-held electronics — the ban on phones and devices applies at every stage of GDL
The six GDL stages
Saskatchewan's Graduated Driver Licensing program has six stages — longer and more granular than the three-stage GLP used in BC or the two-stage GDL used in Alberta. The headline numbers to memorise for the knowledge test are the Class 7 learner duration (minimum 9 months) and the age minimums (15 with an approved driver-education course, 16 without).
- Class 7 Learner — minimum 9 months. Zero BAC, supervisor required, red L sign.
- Novice 1 — starts after passing the Class 7 road test. Zero BAC. One non-family passenger at night.
- Novice 2 — continues the Class 5 novice period. Restrictions ease but zero-alcohol stays.
- Driver experience programme — a Saskatchewan-specific stage that gates graduation to full Class 5.
- Full Class 5 (non-GDL) — restrictions lifted once all GDL milestones are met.
- Experienced driver — the fully unrestricted stage once Safe Driver Recognition points stabilise.
How to prepare
Three habits beat cramming. First, run the 40-question mock once early to find out which section is your weak side. Second, drill that weak side — the road signs drill or the rules drill — until it is boring. Third, hammer the GDL drill, because that is where most Saskatchewan learners lose marks: supervisor age, the midnight–5 a.m. passenger rule, zero BAC, and the six-stage ladder. When two consecutive mock attempts come in at 18/20 or better on both sides, book the real test at an SGI issuer.
- 500 questions in the bank, redrawn on every attempt

- Signs, rules, GDL, and a 20-question practice test for warm-ups

How Saskatchewan differs from other provinces
If a cousin passed a knowledge test in Alberta, Ontario, or BC, their advice will miss a few SK-specific details:
- Saskatchewan Class 7: 40 questions (20 signs + 20 rules), 16/20 per section. Fail one section = rewrite only that section. GDL has six stages over several years.
- Alberta Class 7: 30 questions mixed, 25/30 overall. GDL has two stages.
- Ontario G1: 40 questions (20 signs + 20 rules), 16/20 per section. GLP has three stages.
- BC Class 7L: 50 questions (25 signs + 25 rules), 20/25 per section. GLP has three stages.
Saskatchewan is also the only province of the four where basic liability insurance is attached to the licence plate rather than the driver — SGI's Auto Fund is a public-insurance monopoly. The knowledge test asks at least one question about this, so don't skim the insurance chapter of the handbook.
Common questions
How many questions are on the Saskatchewan knowledge test?
The SGI Class 7 knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions, split into two sections — 20 on road signs and 20 on rules of the road. You need 16 correct in each section (80%) to pass. The test is written in person at any SGI motor-licence issuer.
What score do I need to pass the SGI knowledge test?
You need 80% on each section — 16 out of 20 on signs and 16 out of 20 on rules of the road. The two sections are scored independently, so a strong signs score cannot rescue a weak rules score.
How old do I have to be to get a learner's licence in Saskatchewan?
You can apply for a Class 7 learner's licence at age 15 if you have completed an SGI-approved driver-education course, or at age 16 without one. Parent or guardian consent is required if you are under 18.
What happens if I fail only one section of the SGI test?
If you pass one section and fail the other, SGI lets you rewrite only the section you failed, so a hard-won pass on one half is not thrown out. A new test fee applies to each attempt, and there is no limit on retries.
What topics are covered on the SGI knowledge test?
The test draws from the 2026 Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook: regulatory, warning, construction and information signs; signals and pavement markings; right of way; speed limits; school and playground zones; passing; winter driving; railway crossings; impaired and distracted driving; the SGI Auto Fund; and the six-stage Graduated Driver Licensing program.
How much does the Saskatchewan knowledge test cost?
The SGI Class 7 knowledge test costs about $15 per attempt in 2026, paid at the SGI motor-licence issuer when you book the sitting. Retests after a failed section are charged separately.
What is the Saskatchewan Graduated Driver's Licensing program?
Saskatchewan's GDL is a six-stage program — more granular than any other province's — starting with Class 7 (learner, minimum 9 months) and running through Class 5 novice stages until all restrictions lift. Zero blood alcohol applies at every GDL stage.
