and I have a few extra tips so that also i will give you

but for that you have to keep watching the video

till the end so here we go

Intro music

To be able to drive on the roads of Canada, you’ll first have to successfully complete

the ICBC knowledge test.

So if you are in British Columbia this is the test you have to complete

but if you are in Toronto or any other part of Canada the test is almost similar

The knowledge test checks for understanding of the road rules, regulations, and traffic

signs and signals.

It will also ensure that you are able to safely start learning to drive with a qualified supervisor

and appear for your road test .

The test comprises of 50 multiple choice questions and will likely take 30 to 45 minutes to complete,

however there is no time limit on how long you can take

You don’t need an appointment to take a knowledge test, but make sure to arrive at

least 2 hours prior to closing time to make sure you get a spot in any ICBC centre

You can expect questions on road signs, safe driving tips, and the rules and regulations.

To successfully pass the knowledge test, you will need to score at least 40 out of 50 questions

which is 80% of the total score

If you do not feel comfortable in English don't worry

You can also take the knowledge test is 11 different languages - English, Arabic, Cantonese,

Croatian, French, Farsi, Mandarin, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

so do you need better clarity than that ?

Staff can help explain a question you may not understand.

also if it's too loud around you and you are distracted while taking

the test you can

Just ask for headphones, and you can either listen to or read the questions in 11 different

languages.

so now let’s go through how to prepare for the knowledge test first thing that you have to do is

Go through the Learn to Drive Smart manual. this is the manual right so this is called the learn to drive smart manual

It’s the first step to prepare for the test.

You can study the material online, on the ICBC app, or pick up a full copy at any ICBC

driver licensing office.

The link to downloading the manual is given in the description box of the video

The current version of the book has 9 chapters, and all of them are important.

so don't say that i will study a few chapters and maybe not the other four

you have to read all the nine chapters

Go through each of them.

Also go through the additional driving tips given on the side of the pages like this .

so here are the additional driving tips don't miss those

Time for additional tips now

The next step is to start taking practise test, the practise tests are available online

and you should take as many as you can to practise your knowledge.

If you can’t answer certain questions, you will know which chapter to go back to and

revise

Extra Tip: Don’t just take practise tests on one site, try tests from different websites

so that you can practise on a variety of questions.

. I am giving the links of some practise tests in the description of this video so do refer to those

Walk around and observe how others are driving on the roads, notice traffic signs,

intersections and try to see yourself driving in different situations.

You will be able to understand if you know most of the road signs given on the road and

know what to do when you are on the road driving yourself

Believe me this really helps, even when you are in a cab or a bus and can see what’s

happening on the roads, use it as a chance to practise your skills.

now i am going to keep giving you extra tips so keep listening carefully

Extra Tip: Understand the language of the test.

Some words that are used in the test can be completely new for you.

For example, I drove for many years in my own country but when I was reading the driving

manual here, words like standard transmission, pavement, yield, freeway were all new to me….so

I took some time out to understand the exact meaning of these words.

I looked at reference photos and dictionary meanings of some of these words.

Another Tip: Use the skip option when you appear for the test: If you are in BC the skip option

will be available to you on your computer.

You must give 40 correct answers so if you get any question whose answer you are not

sure about, skip it, it will go at the end of your list of questions.

If you answer 40 questions you might not even have to answer the same question again.

let's move to the next tip

Read all the options of a multiple-choice question before you begin to answer the question,

we might feel that we know the right answer to a question, but it is still important to

read all the options since sometimes two options are like each other and can confuse you so read all the options

next tip Read the language of the question, read the

question carefully sometimes the question can be written in a way that if not read carefully

it can cofuse you here is an example of a question like this

Which of the following would not qualify as an emergency call that I can make while driving?

The options are To ambulance services

To the police To the fire department

To a family member now look at the question carefully and notice the word not

that will help you arrive at the correct answer which is to a family member

don't forget to notice the word not in this question, or you would be confused

as to what the right answer is, like i told you the answer in this case

is D And now to the last tip: Know and understand

road signs properly, on an average every 5th question is about a road sign, so knowing

your road signs would really help.

I appeared for the knowledge test just a day back and got a 100 percent score, like I told you i was so excited when i started this video as well

I used the skip button for every question I was unsure about.

If you had a driving license in your country, carry it with you along with the driving extract

from your country, it would help you to appear for a class 5 driver’s road test directly.

All the best for your knowledge test!

Do well, and clear the first step to getting your license, which is ofcourse getting 80 percent marks in your knowledge test
