Everything to know about the Québec SAAQ Knowledge Test
Quebec's knowledge test is administered by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) and is structured differently from most other provinces. The test has three sections: the Highway Safety Code (rules and regulations), road signs and traffic signals, and driving behaviours and techniques. You must score at least 75% on EACH section independently, and if you fail a section you retake only that section. The SAAQ does not publish how many questions each section has.
The test is computer-based. It is available in French and English, and also in Modern Standard Arabic, Spanish and Mandarin, with audio in French and English. If you fail, the SAAQ requires a 28-day wait before you retake it. Stop signs in Quebec read ARRÊT; the SAAQ handbook notes that the word STOP may replace it.
To get a Class 5 learner's licence (permis d'apprenti conducteur) you must be at least 16 (with written parental consent if under 18; a moped or scooter licence is possible from 14 with written consent), enrol in the mandatory driving course at a recognized driving school, and pass Phase 1 of that course. You then drive accompanied, and you become eligible for the SAAQ knowledge test once you have held your learner's licence for at least 10 months.
Quebec's graduated system has three stages: learner's licence (apprenti), probationary licence (probatoire, 24 months), then the regular Class 5 licence. Learners may not drive between midnight and 5 a.m. Learner and probationary drivers face zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs and lose their licence at 4 demerit points (versus 8 to 15 for a regular licence, depending on age). Probationary drivers aged 19 or under may carry only a limited number of passengers aged 19 or under between midnight and 5 a.m. The road test comes after you have held the learner's licence for at least 12 months and finished the driving course; the course is mandatory and does not shorten the wait.
Quebec has several rules worth knowing. Right-on-red is permitted in most of the province but not on the Island of Montreal. Winter tires are mandatory on Quebec-registered passenger vehicles from December 1 to March 15. Zero alcohol tolerance also applies to every driver aged 21 or under, whatever the licence stage.

Québec: rules to know
Quebec's most distinctive rule is that right-on-red is prohibited on the entire Island of Montreal, even after a complete stop. Stop signs say ARRÊT (not STOP). Winter tires are mandatory on passenger vehicles from December 1 to March 15. Drivers under 22 face zero blood-alcohol concentration regardless of licence stage. The knowledge test is also the only one in Canada split into three independently graded sections, with a 28-day wait after a fail.
