📘 What Is the SAAQ Knowledge Test?
The knowledge test is a computer-based exam administered by the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ). It assesses your understanding of:
-
Road signs and traffic signals
-
Québec driving laws and regulations
-
Safe driving practices (speed, stopping, right-of-way, sharing the road)
-
Risky behaviours (distraction, fatigue, impaired driving)
The test usually has multiple-choice questions in different categories. You must achieve a minimum passing score in each section.
🧠 Study Strategies That Actually Work
1. Use the Official SAAQ Study Materials
-
Download the “Driving a Passenger Vehicle” guide from the SAAQ website.
-
Pay attention to the sections on signs and laws, as these make up a large portion of the exam.
2. Take Free Online Quizzes
The SAAQ offers sample quizzes that simulate the real exam. Doing these regularly helps you:
-
Get used to the question format.
-
Identify weak areas early.
-
Build confidence before test day.
3. Create a Study Schedule
Don’t cram the night before! Instead:
-
Break down the guide into 15-20 minute study sessions.
-
Review 2–3 topics daily.
-
Revisit problem areas until you consistently get them right.
4. Practice with Real-Life Scenarios
Next time you’re in the car (as a passenger), look at the road signs, intersections, and driver behaviour. Ask yourself: What would the correct action be here according to the SAAQ rules?
5. Learn the OEA Strategy (Observe–Evaluate–Act)
The OEA method, part of the official course, teaches you to:
-
Observe your surroundings carefully.
-
Evaluate the situation and potential risks.
-
Act by making the safest decision.
This strategy is not only useful for the test but also for lifelong safe driving.
