What is inside
- 3 Class 1 knowledge mocks of 30 questions, mixing topics from across the Commercial Driver's Guide.

- 7 chapter sets, one per chapter group, for the chapter your mock result says to reread.

Each question has one correct answer. Each explanation names the source it rests on: the guide chapter and page, the air brake manual page, or the alberta.ca page. Where Alberta's rule differs from the federal one, it says so: drivers subject to Alberta's provincial hours-of-service rules cannot drive after 13 hours of driving or 15 hours on duty in a work shift, while the federal on-duty cutoff for driving is 14 hours, alongside other federal limits. Carriers operating solely within Alberta need a Safety Fitness Certificate for a truck, tractor, trailer or combination registered for 11,794 kg or more (farmers are exempt provincially); carriers operating outside Alberta need one under federal law when such vehicles are registered for, or weigh, more than 4,500 kg. Under either rule a commercial passenger vehicle with an original seating capacity of 11 or more, including the driver, also needs one.
How you are scored
- On the 30-question mocks, your score out of 30, shown beside Alberta's pass mark of 25 correct; chapter sets and the free sample score out of their own totals. Our mocks let you finish all 30 questions, so you see every answer even past 6 wrong, where Alberta's test would stop.
- Your score by guide chapter, so the result names the chapters to reread before the test.
- Your time per question, against a 30-minute practice clock. The Alberta sources we cite give no time limit for the Class 1 test, and Alberta says the air brake test has none.
- The reason behind every answer, with its source: a guide chapter and page, an air brake manual page, or an alberta.ca page.
A score here is your score on our questions. It is not a knowledge test result and does not predict one.
The tests, as Alberta describes them
- Class 1 knowledge test: 30 multiple-choice questions at an Alberta registry agent, a minimum of 25 correct to pass; when 6 are wrong the test stops and a fail is recorded. It covers the Commercial Driver's Guide, the Driver's Guide: Cars and Light Trucks and the Class 1 Learning Pathway curriculum. A knowledge test can be taken once per day and is paid for each time; Alberta's Class 1 Learning Pathway online learning system page lists it at $17 at registry agent locations.
- Air brake (Q) knowledge test: 30 multiple-choice questions, 25 correct to pass, ending at 6 wrong, with no time limit. The standard route is an approved air brake course first (at least 6.5 classroom hours, practical training and a practical assessment); some eligible technicians and mechanics may take the tests without the training. You need the Q endorsement before you can get a Class 1 licence.
- Class 1 Learning Pathway: since 1 April 2025 it has replaced MELT (Mandatory Entry-Level Training). On the standard new-driver route, you can take the Class 1 knowledge test after the 40-hour Entry Program and before you finish the Core Learning Program; the road test comes after Core Learning.
- Eligibility: a full Class 5 licence (not GDL), at least 18 years old, a vision test, and a medical report for Class 1.

Before you buy
Do I still need MELT?
No. Since 1 April 2025 the Class 1 Learning Pathway has replaced MELT for new Class 1 drivers in Alberta. On the standard new-driver route, the 40-hour Entry Program comes before the knowledge test.
Does this cover the air brake test too?
Yes. Two of the mocks are air brake (Q) mocks of 30 questions, from Alberta's air brake manual and the guide's air brake inspection. For the Q test on its own, our separate air brake practice test has three 30-question tests in the Alberta Q format and eight topic sets; the Class 1 and air brake bundle has both.
Will this make me pass?
We do not claim that it will. It gives you timed practice across the listed chapter groups, your score by chapter on our questions and the reason behind every answer, so you can see what to reread.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card (or PayPal where offered), handled by our payment provider; the price shows at checkout and on your free sample result. In Canada it is charged in Canadian dollars; in the United States, the United Kingdom and the euro area in your own currency; elsewhere in your own currency where we support it, otherwise in Indian rupees with the local figure shown as an estimate. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account. Purchase policy.
