Learning Basics

Explain the current Alberta Class 7 application process, including eligibility, parental or guardian consent, identification, the knowledge test, the vision test, and what happens after passing.

State what a Class 7 learner may drive, who may supervise them, the restrictions they must follow, and when they may move to the next licensing stage.

Identify the main controls, mirrors, pedals, lights, dashboard indicators, and safety equipment in a car and explain what each does.

Interpret Alberta regulatory signs—including stop, yield, speed, prohibited-movement, parking, stopping, one-way, and lane-use signs—and select the required driver action.

Interpret Alberta warning signs for road layout, curves, intersections, pedestrians, schools, playgrounds, railways, construction, animals, slippery surfaces, and lane changes, and select a safe response.

Use guide, route, direction, service, and information signs together with pavement markings to determine where a driver may travel.

Apply the rules for steady red, yellow, and green lights; green arrows; flashing signals; and signals that are not working, including where to stop.

Apply complete-stop and yielding rules at stop signs, yield signs, two-way stops, and four-way stops.

Determine who should go first at controlled and uncontrolled intersections by applying Alberta right-of-way rules.

Apply the safe sequence for a right turn, including signalling, lane position, mirror checks, pedestrian and cyclist checks, and final lane choice.

Apply the safe sequence for a left turn, including signalling, lane position, oncoming-traffic checks, yielding, and final lane choice.

Apply the mirror-signal-mirror-shoulder-check sequence to change lanes while managing blind spots and choosing a safe gap.

Choose safe lane positions and gaps when merging, entering or leaving a higher-speed road, and passing another vehicle.

Navigate a roundabout by choosing the correct approach lane, yielding, entering, staying in lane, signalling, exiting, and watching for pedestrians and cyclists.

Choose a speed that obeys Alberta limits and remains safe for school, playground, construction, traffic, road, visibility, and weather conditions.

Apply current Alberta following-time guidance and explain how speed, road conditions, visibility, and vehicle size affect stopping space.

Apply current official Alberta parking and stopping restrictions, including all test-relevant distances from intersections, crosswalks, fire hydrants, driveways, signs, and other restricted places.

Select the correct procedure for parallel, angle, perpendicular, and hill parking, including safe backing and wheel direction.

Apply Alberta crosswalk and right-of-way rules to protect pedestrians, including children and people with mobility or visibility challenges.

Adjust observation, blind-spot checks, following space, passing, door opening, and turning around cyclists, motorcycles, trucks, and other large vehicles.

Respond legally and safely when an ambulance, fire truck, police vehicle, or stopped roadside emergency vehicle displays lights or uses a siren.

Apply mandatory stopping, observation, and proceed-only-when-safe rules at railway crossings and around school buses.

Select safe driving adjustments for snow, ice, rain, hydroplaning risk, fog, darkness, glare, and strong wind.

Explain how distraction, alcohol, drugs, fatigue, strong emotions, seat-belt use, passenger behaviour, and vehicle condition affect a learner driver's safety and legal responsibilities.

Use scanning, mirror checks, space cushions, hazard prediction, calm decision-making, and basic emergency responses to choose a defensive action in realistic driving situations.

Complete and review a 30-question practice test emphasizing signs, road markings, and traffic signals, with a score out of 30 and explanations for errors.

Complete and review a different 30-question practice test emphasizing intersections, right-of-way, turns, lane changes, and roundabouts, with a score out of 30 and explanations for errors.

Complete and review a different 30-question practice test emphasizing speed, following distance, parking, road users, and official Alberta numbers, with a score out of 30 and explanations for errors.

Complete and review a different 30-question mixed practice test emphasizing difficult wording and commonly confused rules, then identify topics that need more study.

Use a 15-minute review and one-page memory sheet to complete a final 30-question mixed practice test, explain missed answers, and make a last study plan.
