Learn for the Class 7 test
Short lessons on the topics people most often get wrong, with practice at the end.
About these lessons
The Class 7 knowledge test checks that you know traffic signs, the rules of the road and safe driving practices from the Government of Alberta’s Driver’s Guide.
These free lessons are the same as in our iPhone app. Each one gives a short answer first, explains the rules in plain language and ends with practice questions from our free mock exams. When you’re ready, try a mock exam.
Lessons
Signs and Signals
Reading signs by shape and colour
Sign shape and colour tell you what kind of message is coming before you can read it. Regulatory signs give orders, warning signs describe what's ahead, and temporary orange signs mark work zones.
Traffic lights and turns on red
Signals control who may enter an intersection. Alberta allows some turns on red after a full stop, and a flashing green has a specific meaning here.
School and playground zones
School and playground zones protect children with a lower speed during set hours. The two zones run on different schedules.
Intersections
Right-of-way at stops and uncontrolled intersections
When there is no light, right-of-way rules decide who goes first. Alberta has one rule that surprises many drivers: the uncontrolled T intersection.
Traffic circles and roundabouts
Circular intersections keep traffic moving counterclockwise around a centre island. Alberta has specific rules for two-lane circles.
Parking
Safe Driving
Highways
Sharing the Road
School buses and emergency vehicles
Some vehicles need you to stop or make room.
Roadside workers, tow trucks and snowplows
People working at the roadside are at risk from passing traffic.
Cyclists, motorcycles and large trucks
Smaller road users are harder to see, and large trucks can't see you in many places.
Hazards

Questions
What’s on the Alberta Class 7 knowledge test?
It has 30 multiple-choice questions on traffic signs, the rules of the road and safe driving, based on the Government of Alberta Driver’s Guide. You need 25 correct to pass, and you take it at an Alberta registry agent office. See About the Class 7 knowledge test.
What score do I need on these practice exams?
Each of our mock exams has 30 questions, and you pass with 25 correct, the same mark as the real test. That leaves room for only five mistakes, so aim to pass ours comfortably before test day.
Are these lessons enough to pass?
They cover the topics people most often get wrong, but read the full Alberta Driver’s Guide too. Then check yourself with the road signs and rules of the road practice tests, and finish with a few mock exams. See Road signs practice test.
How long should I study?
It depends on how much of the Driver’s Guide is new to you. If your test is coming up, our 7-day study plan gives you one topic a day, each linked to free practice. See 7-day study plan.
Are these the real test questions?
No. These are original practice questions written by ChowChow Labs. We are not affiliated with the Government of Alberta or any registry agent, and Alberta doesn’t publish its test questions.
Our lessons are written in our own words and checked against the Alberta Driver’s Guide. Read how we write and check them.
