Read the handbook, 2 parts

Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles publishes 2 separate files and no combined document. Each one opens on the agency website, so you always get the current version.

All documents are hosted by Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles, not by us. Visit the Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles handbook page.

Why the Nunavut handbook is worth reading once

Every question on the Class 7 knowledge exam comes from what Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles publishes in this handbook. Our 346 practice questions for Nunavut are written from it too, so reading it once and then testing yourself is faster than doing either alone.

You do not have to read all 2 parts at once. Take the rules of the road and the signs first, then come back for licensing and registration.

What the Nunavut handbook covers

These 124 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.

  • Air brakes: the system, the checks and the warnings

  • Sharing the road from a cab, and the blind spots a car cannot see

Nunavut test facts

Every figure here is Department of Community and Government Services, Motor Vehicles's own for the Class 7 knowledge exam, not a national average. Provinces genuinely differ, and studying another province's number is a common way to fail.
