Alberta Driver's Guide 2026

Why the Alberta handbook is worth reading once

Every question on the Class 7 knowledge test comes from what Alberta Transportation publishes in this handbook. Our 186 practice questions for Alberta are written from it too, so reading it once and then testing yourself is faster than doing either alone.

Read it end to end once, then use practice questions to find the parts you have not absorbed.

What the Alberta handbook covers

These 126 pages are the whole of what the test can draw on. Reading the list below is a quick way to find the parts you have not looked at yet.

• Getting your licence and the graduated licensing stages
• Traffic signs, signals and pavement markings
• Rules of the road, right of way and intersections
• Speed limits and following distance
• Turning, passing, lane changes and merging
• Parking rules and prohibited distances
• Sharing the road with cyclists, pedestrians and large vehicles
• School buses and emergency vehicles
• Impaired driving and the penalties that follow
• Winter, night and poor-visibility driving
• Collisions, breakdowns and what the law requires of you

Alberta test facts

Every figure here is Alberta Transportation's own for the Class 7 knowledge test, not a national average. Provinces genuinely differ, and studying another province's number is a common way to fail.
