FREE AB General Knowledge Test 1
The transportation industry in Alberta is booming, and truck drivers are in high demand. If you are considering a career change, now is the perfect time to take the first step and obtain a Commercial Driver’s Licence. Alberta offers four classes of commercial licenses: Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4. Each class has specific requirements, but one thing they all have in common is the requirement to pass the general knowledge test. Aspiring commercial drivers must take a 30-question written exam based on the official Alberta Commercial Driver’s Guide. A minimum score of 83% is required to pass.
On exam day, it’s common for students to experience increased anxiety. A lack of confidence can significantly impact your performance. The solution to this problem is consistent practice over the course of several weeks. During this time, you can use the most efficient resources to boost your learning potential and optimize your learning. Our AB General Knowledge Tests have been designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official general knowledge exam. Each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. This intuitive tool is up to date as of May 2025, so you will always practise with the latest version.
