To get your Class 5 driving licence in Quebec, you'll need to pass the SAAQ knowledge test. It'll last about 30 minutes. You must pass all three parts of the SAAQ knowledge test: 8 questions on rules and regulations, 8 questions on road signs and traffic signals, and 12 questions on behaviours. The test can be taken in French, English, Arabic, Spanish or Mandarin. If you fail the test, you must wait at least 28 days before you will be allowed to retake the test. You will have to make another appointment. You will only have to retake the parts of the test that you failed. To be able to make a knowledge test appointment, you must have held a learner's licence for at least 10 months. This free practice test (updated for September 2024) covers a lot of questions on road signs and road rules that you'll be answering on your Class 5 knowledge test (also known as the SAAQ knowledge test, or SAAQ test). All questions are based on the information from the Québec official Driver's Handbook, so chances are you will come across them or something very similar when you finally go to take the real test. When in doubt, just hit 'Hint' below. To pass the test, you will need to score a minimum of 13 out of 16 questions in the Road Signs and Road Rules section, and a minimum of 26 out of 32 in the Road Situations section of this practice test. You can always restart the test if needed.

Written by Andrei Zakhareuski Updated over a week ago

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.

Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.

Content Creation and Verification Process

  1. Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks:
    Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information.
  2. Community Feedback Integration:
    We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation.
  3. Expert Content Creation:
    Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy.
  4. Rigorous Review Process:
    Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors.
  5. User Feedback Mechanism:
    After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly.
  6. Responsive Updates:
    In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.

Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
