Test-day preparation

Before you leave

  • Arrive early enough to park, check in, and settle your nerves.
  • Follow road signs and your examiner’s directions on the day.

Getting there

Parking & access

  • Parking: Map data shows parking lots about 10 to 80 m from the registry.

Know the area

Roads to be ready for near Medicine Hat

  • Crestwood School about 715 m away
  • 16 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 460 m away
  • Roundabouts about 1.3 km and 1.4 km away
  • Highway 1 ramps on the practice route

Local tips

Map data puts a parking lot about 10 m from the AMA Medicine Hat registry at 2710 13 Ave SE, and it shows only two marked crosswalks and three stop signs nearby. 13 Avenue Southeast runs about 55 m away at 50 km/h. The first traffic light is about 460 m off, one of 16 sets within a kilometre. Crestwood School is about 715 m away, so watch for children on weekdays. Roundabouts appear about 1.3 km and 1.4 km away: yield to vehicles already in the circle and signal your exit. Hours vary, so phone 403-527-8061 to confirm before you go, and note that road tests are by appointment. Our 33.1 km practice route takes 13 Avenue Southeast and Southview Drive Southeast to Dunmore Road Southeast, loops through Ross Glen Drive Southeast, then uses the 1 West ramp, the 3 West exit and Division Avenue South before returning via the 1 East ramp and the Dunmore Road exit. Treat each ramp as practice for building speed and checking your blind spot early, and give yourself time to slow down at the end of each exit.

Common questions

Medicine Hat road test FAQ

What are the hours at Medicine Hat?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Medicine Hat at 403-527-8061 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Alberta Motor Association (AMA) - Medicine Hat's road test booking page (the "Official booking" button on this page, also listed on alberta.ca), or in person at the registry. You'll need your 9-digit MVID number, printed near the barcode on your licence, and any outstanding Government of Alberta fines must be paid first. Registry agents set their own road test fees, up to the maximum in the province's Registry Agent Product Catalogue, so confirm the fee when you book.

What do I need for the road test?

A vehicle that meets all legal and safety requirements, plus the documents listed on the registry's road test information sheet and in your confirmation letter. The information sheet also covers eligibility, fees, and the registry's cancellation and no-show policies.

How long do I need my learner's licence first, and how is the test marked?

You must have held a Class 7 learner's licence for at least one year and be at least 16 (with a parent's or guardian's written consent if you're under 18). You fail the Class 5 road test with more than 75 points, or automatically if you endanger someone, drive unsafely or break traffic laws. After you pass the road test and a vision test, you get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence, which you hold for at least two years.

Is a practice route available for Medicine Hat?

Yes. This page has a 33.1 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
