ACT knowledge test practice tests
20 free tests for the test ACT Government sets, drawn from 100 questions. No account, no paywall, nothing held back.
Where these questions come from
ACT Government does not publish the ACT knowledge test question bank. The 100 questions here are original practice questions written for this site against the current Australian Capital Territory road rules, with the rule cited on every answer. They are not the official questions and nothing on this page says otherwise.
The road sign questions, and the sign artwork with them, were written and drawn for this site as well.
The numbers that decide the day

How the ACT knowledge test runs
The Australian Capital Territory knowledge test asks 35 questions and needs 31 correct, which leaves room for four wrong answers. The current fee is being checked against the source before publication. Our questions here are original and cite the road rule behind each answer.
Where ACT learners come unstuck
31 out of 35 is a tighter bar than most learners expect from a small jurisdiction, and the territory sits inside New South Wales road rules that differ in places.
