How the app practises the British Columbia test

Class 7L knowledge test
- Knowledge test (signs and rules of the road)50 questions · 40 to pass
The app's British Columbia practice test is one part, scored against the pass mark shown on the ticket. You can skip each question once and come back to it, as on the real test. For practice you can keep the standard time, choose double time, or switch the timer off. Every result is a practice result only, never an official one.

How to study for it
Read the handbook first
The test is based on ICBC's driving guide, Learn to Drive Smart. Read the chapters on signs, rules of the road and your licence before you drill questions.
Learn signs by shape and colour
Shape and colour tell you the type of sign before you can read it: an eight-sided red sign means stop, a diamond is a warning. Then learn each exact meaning.
Fix your mistakes, not just your score
For each question you miss, read why your choice was wrong. The app brings it back in your plan so it sticks.
Book when you pass consistently
Take full practice tests and book the real one when you pass them again and again, not once.
