Exam Format — Heavy Vehicle
The learner’s licence theory test for a heavy motor vehicle (Code C / old Code 3; >3 500 kg GVM) again uses the three-section structure. The headline Vehicle Controls count is most often quoted as 8, but heavy vehicles carry additional control study material (study papers extend to Controls 1–5 vs 1–4 for cars/motorcycles, covering extra braking and gear content).
Verified / claimed structure
- Total questions: 64 or 68 (same conflict).
- Pass marks: Rules 22, Signs 23, Controls 6/8.
- Heavy-vehicle controls have extra scope; one secondary practice paper shows ~7 control questions on gears, stopping, turning, handbrake, acceleration and indicating.
- Minimum age 18.
Conflicting claims
- Same 64-vs-68 conflict.
- Control-question count: most sources say a flat 8 for all codes (content differs, not count); one heavy-vehicle practice paper shows 7 control questions; TestPrep implies an extra controls study paper for Code 3. Headline count taken as 8.
Research note
Treat public practice-test formats as practice formats unless confirmed by official or provincial transport sources. No government source publishes question counts, pass marks or a time limit — these figures originate entirely with commercial driving-school sites and are tagged alleged. This wiki does not claim to reproduce the official restricted question bank.
