If you want to be well-prepared and not stressed out for the SGI written exam, make sure you give yourself enough time to get ready. It's never a good idea to try to memorize everything the night before, and definitely recommended that you give yourself a couple of weeks to thoroughly learn the necessary Saskatchewan road rules and road signs material.

Everything you need to know about Saskatchewan road signs and road rules is available in detail in the Saskatchewan Drivers Handbook. Dedicate a good amount of time to read through and study the entire handbook. Revisit any sections that you don't understand.

Once you've established a good understanding of Saskatchewan road signs and road rules, use our free SGI written test practice sets to test your driving knowledge. These practice tests are designed to be as close in format and content to the actual SGI Class 7 knowledge test and are a very efficient learning tool for new Saskatchewan drivers.

• The Saskatchewan basic knowledge test section is designed to assess a drivers understanding of Saskatchewan rules of the road. The Saskatchewan sign exam section tests your knowledge of traffic signs. Each test section is 40 questions
• The SK Class 7 exam can be taken at any SGI driver examination office
• The tests can be computer based or written depending on the SGI driver exam office
• Aside from the Regina and Saskatoon central offices, you need to make an appointment prior to attempting the Saskatchewan knowledge test
• Both test sections will be marked on the spot and you need to correctly answer 32/40 (80% grade) on each section to pass
• No books, cellphones or other electronic devices are allowed in the test area
• To maximize your chances of passing, utilize the information in the Saskatchewan Drivers Handbook and test yourself with our SGI written test practice series

In addition to testing your knowledge of Saskatchewan road signs and road rules your vision will also be tested and you must meet the approved visions standards.

The Class 7 knowledge test is available in 58 different languages. Check with your local SGI driver exam office for available language options.

A rested mind is statistically likely to perform better in a test environment. Get a good nights sleep before your test day.

Even if you've pre-booked your test appointment time, it's still a good idea to arrive at least 30 minutes early to settle in and relax before the test. If you're doing a walk-in at the Regina or Saskatoon Central offices, plan to arrive well in advance - at least a few hours before closing time so you can comfortably take the test.

Identity & Residency Documents:

In order to take the SGI Class 7 knowledge test, you need to bring along identification documents proving your identity and residency status:

Saskatchewan Identity And Residency Verification Documents

Consent Documents:

If you are under the age of 18, your parent/legal guardian must also provide consent to take the SK Class 7 written test.

If you need glasses or contacts to drive, make sure you bring them along.

If you've pre-booked your test appointment, you would have already paid the $25 test fee, otherwise make sure you read through the Saskatchewan applicable test fees to know what to expect.

If for some reason you fail to score 80% on either test section, you can retake the test the next day.

Once you've passed your SGI Class 7 test for a Saskatchewan learners license, you need to validate your licence at a motor license issuer and pay the associated fees to get your actual licence card.
