In Nova Scotia, all aspiring drivers must complete the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program. It begins by earning a Class 7 learner’s licence. This credential can be obtained by passing a vision test, providing the necessary documents, paying the application fees, and passing two knowledge tests: one on road signs and another on traffic rules. Each knowledge test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official Nova Scotia Driver’s Handbook. To pass, you must score 80% or higher on both knowledge tests.
Because numerous road signs are used across the province, you should memorize the most common ones and understand their meanings. The official driver’s handbook includes a chapter on signs, pavement markings, and work zones. We recommend reading this chapter multiple times before considering other resources. The most determined students typically adopt a smarter approach and include practice tests in their study routines. Such tools enable active learning, which helps you improve your knowledge faster.
Our Nova Scotia Road Signs Practice Test is up to date as of September 2025. It is available 24/7 online, so you can access it anytime from anywhere in the world. All you need is a compatible device and a stable internet connection. The practice test consists of multiple-choice questions exclusively based on the road signs chapter of the official Nova Scotia Driver’s Handbook. You must score 80% or higher to pass, but it is perfectly normal for beginners to fail on their first few attempts.
If you make a mistake, we will point it out immediately so you’ll know what went wrong. A detailed explanation of the correct answer helps you understand why your choice was incorrect. Please pay attention to this feedback and note it down in a notebook or notebook app. Since you get unlimited attempts to train with our practice test, you can memorize each road sign through repetition. Start today and be consistent in your studies. With the help of this intuitive tool, you’ll be able to instantly recognize road signs during the road signs knowledge test and in real-life situations.

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the province's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
