Quick answer
In the Northwest Territories, the Class 7 learner's licence needs a test of 20 multiple-choice questions on the rules of the road and a separate 20-question road-signs test. You can get at most 4 wrong in each (16 of 20). The territory's pages mention a 30-minute limit; whether it covers both tests is not confirmed, and neither is the retest rule.

The app's Northwest Territories practice test has the same 2 parts, answered one after another. Each part is scored on its own against its pass mark, and you see a result for each part as well as your total. 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 the territory's Driver's Manual. 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.
Practise each part on its own
Each part has its own pass mark, so a good total isn't enough. Make sure you are solid on every part.
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.
Questions about the Northwest Territories test
How many questions are on the NWT learner's tests?
20 questions on the rules of the road and 20 on road signs. You can get at most 4 wrong in each.
Is there a time limit?
The territory's pages mention 30 minutes. It isn't confirmed whether that covers both tests, so the app gives you 30 minutes for the whole practice test.
Are the app's questions the ones on the Northwest Territories test?
No. They are original practice questions, written for Northwest Territories from the territory's Driver's Manual. They teach the rules the test checks, but they are not the test, and the app is not connected to any government.
Can I practise in French?
Yes. Every question, explanation and source note is in English and French, and you can switch language at any time.
