About the ICBC knowledge test
- You can get your learner’s (L) licence on or after your 16th birthday, once you pass the knowledge test. Under 19, a parent or guardian must sign a consent form.
- The test has 50 multiple-choice questions, and you need 40 right to pass. ICBC says almost one in five questions is about road signs.
- Our mock exam uses that format: 50 questions, 10 of them on signs, with a pass mark of 40. If you fail the real test you can try again after one day.
- Everything in our study guide and questions is taken from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart and icbc.com, and each item cites its source.

Longer reads on the parts of getting a B.C. licence that the official pages spread across several pages.
- ICBC knowledge test day: online or at an office, what to bring, and what you leave withWho can apply, how the online test and the in-person test differ, the two pieces of ID and the consent form, the vision and medical screening, what the 50 questions are like, and the L licence and its restrictions from the moment you pass.
- From L to N to a full licence: the GLP timeline, the restrictions, and what changes on October 19, 2026How long B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program takes, what you may and may not do with an L and then an N, how the road tests are booked and what a fail costs you, the Driving Record Assessment that replaces the second road test, what the whole thing costs, and how a licence from elsewhere shortens it.
- The B.C. rules people mix up: parking distances, school and playground zones, and passing a stopped vehicle with flashing lightsFive metres from a hydrant but six from a crosswalk, a school zone that runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beside a playground zone that runs dawn to dusk, 70 km/h on one road and 40 km/h on another past the same flashing lights, and a phone rule that is stricter for an L or N than for anyone else. The pairs the knowledge test uses to tell whether you really know them, side by side.
