Fail one section of the knowledge test and you wait 28 days to retake it. Permis 101 gets you ready — section by section. THE OFFICIAL FORMAT, EXACTLY 28 questions in 3 sections — 8 Road rules, 8 Road signs, 12 Driving behaviours — and each section is passed separately, at 75%. Your mock tests reproduce that format exactly, thresholds included. EVERYTHING YOU NEED (CAR, CLASS 5) • 600 original questions, verified against the official guides • 128 road signs, redrawn and explained • The right-of-way trainer: 27 interactive intersection scenarios • Three readiness rings that measure how much of the bank you have actually mastered • Smart review of your mistakes, with statistics by topic IN ENGLISH AND IN FRENCH Switch language whenever you like, in Settings. Each module covers both — the whole question bank is written in each language, not machine-translated. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Built for Law 25: no account to create, no ads, no subscription. Your progress stays on your devices and in your own iCloud — never on our servers. MOTORCYCLE (CLASS 6): A MODULE SOLD SEPARATELY Taking the motorcycle knowledge test (6R licence)? The motorcycle module is a separate in-app purchase, at the same price as the car module: about 200 original motorcycle questions, each one explained, and a motorcycle mock test in the exact format — 32 questions, 27 out of 32 to pass, if you already hold a Class 5 driver's licence or probationary licence. No Class 5 licence yet? Preparation for the full test — the Highway Safety Code, road signs and motorcycle riding — is included. ONE PURCHASE PER MODULE, FOR GOOD Try the free demo, then unlock the module for your test — car (Class 5) or motorcycle (Class 6). Each module is a single purchase, for good; one doesn't unlock the other. Permis 101 is an independent app. It is not affiliated with the SAAQ, nor endorsed by it; "SAAQ" is used only to describe the exam it prepares you for. Questions: soutien@permis101.com
