A Guide by Unity Driving School – West Island Montréal
If you’re starting your journey to get a Class 5 driver’s licence in Québec, one of the first hurdles is the SAAQ Knowledge Test. This is the written exam that evaluates your understanding of road signs, traffic rules, and safe driving behaviours. A common question we hear from students is:
👉 “How many questions are on the knowledge test, and what score do I need to pass?”
Let’s break it down.
📘 Structure of the SAAQ Knowledge Test
The knowledge test is a computer-based multiple-choice exam offered at SAAQ service centres. It usually includes around 64 questions in total, divided into sections:
-
Road Signs and Traffic Signals – 16 questions
-
Driving Rules and Regulations – 32 questions
-
Risky Behaviours (alcohol, fatigue, distraction, speeding, etc.) – 16 questions
Note: The exact number may vary slightly depending on updates, but this is the standard format used across Québec.
🏆 What Is the Passing Score?
To pass the SAAQ Knowledge Test, you need:
-
At least 75% in each section
-
AND an overall passing grade
This means you can’t just do well in one section and ignore the others — you must demonstrate balanced knowledge across all parts of the exam.
If you fail, you’ll need to wait at least 28 days before retaking the test, so preparation is key.
🧠 How to Prepare for the Test
-
Study the SAAQ “Driving a Passenger Vehicle” guide (available online).
-
Review road signs regularly — many questions focus on visual recognition.
-
Take practice quizzes to get used to the multiple-choice format.
