About the Yukon Class 7 learner's licence test

In the Yukon you can get a Class 7 learner's licence from age 15. To get it, you pass a vision screening and a multiple-choice sign and knowledge test, with a pass mark of 80 per cent. The practice tests on this page come in two parts, rules of the road and road signs, and every answer comes with a short explanation from the Yukon Driver's Basic Handbook.

Frequently asked questions

What is on the Yukon learner's licence test?

A multiple-choice sign and knowledge test on road signs, rules of the road and safe driving practices, based on the Yukon Driver's Basic Handbook. You also need to pass a vision screening. The handbook says its two licensing chapters aren't tested, but the practice bank includes some licensing questions because you'll need those rules as a learner.

What score do I need to pass?

The pass mark is 80 per cent. Yukon doesn't publish the number of questions online. Two parts of 20 questions, road signs and rules of the road, with 16 correct needed on each, is the widely reported format, so our practice tests use it.

How old do I have to be to get a learner's licence in the Yukon?

15. If you are under 18, your legal guardian must come with you to sign the application, and you both need to prove your identity and Yukon residency.

Where do I take the test?

At your nearest Motor Vehicles office; there is one in most Yukon communities. Bring the fees for the knowledge test and Class 7 licence, your identity and residency documents, and your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them.

What are the rules for Yukon learner drivers?

You must drive with a co-driver who has held a full-privilege licence for at least two years and has zero alcohol and drugs. You may drive only between 5 a.m. and midnight, may not use any electronic device, even hands-free, may carry two passengers including the co-driver unless the others are family, and must display an L sign and log 50 hours.

How soon can I take my road test?

Once you are 16, have held your Class 7 learner's licence for at least six months and have logged 50 hours. You then hold a Class 5 novice licence for at least 18 months in a row before you can get a full-privilege licence.

Are these the real Yukon test questions?

No. Every question here is original, written from the Yukon Driver's Basic Handbook. This site is not affiliated with the Government of Yukon or its Motor Vehicles office.

How many practice questions are there?

468: 342 rules of the road questions and 126 road sign questions. Practice tests don't repeat a question until you have seen every question in that part.
