This official ICBC app has everything you need to help you prepare for—and pass—the knowledge test for your learner’s (Class 7L) licence in British Columbia. The app includes: • ICBC’s practice knowledge test. • The driving guide: Learn to Drive Smart. • Licensing office locations. Take the practice test anytime, anywhere —as often as you need. How it works The practice test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions randomly chosen from a database of nearly 200 questions. The questions are based on the information in the ICBC driving guide, Learn to Drive Smart. On the actual test, you will need to answer 40/50 questions correctly to pass. As you answer questions, the app lets you know if you’re on track and where to look in Learn to Drive Smart for more info. You can also watch safe driving tips on video and look up the location of your nearest licensing office when you’re ready to book your actual knowledge test. Got a perfect score? Share your test results with your friends on Facebook, X (Twitter) or email. How to pass your knowledge test Taking the practice knowledge test can help prepare you for the actual one, but to pass, you need to also study and understand the material in the Learn to Drive Smart guide.
