1What is the minimum age to apply for a Samoa learner's permit under the National Road Code?

A.15 years

B.16 years

C.17 years

D.18 years

Explanation: Samoa National Road Code s.1.1 and the age table in s.1.6 say a person over the age of 16 years can apply for a learner's permit to drive a motor vehicle. The LTA drivers-licence page also lists learners from 16 years of age.

2What is the minimum age to apply for a Samoa private driver's licence to drive a car, motorcycle or other light vehicle under 3 tons tare?

A.16 years

B.17 years

C.18 years

D.21 years

Explanation: Road Code s.1.2 and s.1.6 set 17 years as the minimum for a driver's licence to drive a private or light-goods motor vehicle or motorcycle under 3 tons tare. Sixteen is only the learner-permit age.

3Where must the letter L be displayed when you drive on a Samoa learner's permit?

A.On the dashboard only

B.On the front of the vehicle only

C.On the front and back of the vehicle

D.On the rear number plate only

Explanation: Road Code s.1.1 requires a learner to drive only in a vehicle displaying the letter L on the front and back. Hidden or single-end plates do not meet the rule.

4Who must sit with a Samoa learner driver, and where?

A.Any adult passenger anywhere in the vehicle

B.A current licensed driver in the front seat beside the learner at all times

C.A licensed driver who may sit in the back seat

D.No supervisor is required after the first week

Explanation: Road Code s.1.1 says do not drive on your own. Someone who holds a current valid driver's licence must sit in the front seat beside you at all times. That supervisor is responsible for you, and both of you are responsible for any offence committed on the road.

5How long is a Samoa learner's permit valid, and can it be renewed?

A.30 days, not renewable

B.3 months only, not renewable

C.3 months, renewable for further three-month periods

D.1 year, renewable annually

Explanation: Road Code s.1.1 states the learner's permit is valid for 3 months only and can be renewed for further three-month periods. LTA's page lists the learner fee as WST $79 for 3 months, renewable after expiry.

6According to the Samoa National Road Code, how many questions are on the driver theory test?

A.20 questions

B.35 questions

C.50 questions

D.100 questions

Explanation: Road Code s.1.2 says you sit the theory test from 50 questions. This practice bank has 100 English study items; it is not the official 50-item paper.

7What score do you need on the Samoa LTA theory test before you may take the on-road practical?

A.35 out of 50

B.40 out of 50

C.45 out of 50

D.50 out of 50

Explanation: Road Code s.1.2 requires you to pass 45 out of 50 questions and then take the driving practical test on the road. That is a 90 percent pass mark on the official 50-item sitting.

8How long is a Samoa private driver's licence valid from the date it is issued?

A.1 year

B.3 years

C.5 years

D.10 years

Explanation: Road Code s.1.4 says a private driver's licence is valid for five years and expires from the date it was issued. LTA's drivers-licence page also lists a new drivers licence as valid for 5 years.

A.6 months

B.1 year

C.3 years

D.5 years

Explanation: Road Code s.1.4 states a commercial licence on any classes is valid for one year. Driving after expiry is treated as driving unlicensed.

D.Only if you are a commercial driver

Explanation: Road Code s.1.5 says YES — carry your licence whenever you drive and show it to any Police Officer or LTA Authorised Traffic Officer (ATO) when asked. If you are not carrying it you will be charged immediately.

About the Samoa LTA Driver Theory Test Exam

The Samoa LTA Driver Licence Theory Test is the official written knowledge assessment that learner and new private-licence applicants must pass before the on-road practical. The Samoa National Road Code (LTA Vehicle & Driver License Registration Section, Version 0.1, edited 22 September 2020) states you sit 50 questions and must score 45 out of 50. Content covers licensing ages and L-plate rules, left-hand traffic, the 2016 give-way changes, speed classes (24 / 40 / 56 km/h), parking and horn restrictions, regulatory and warning signs, traffic lights, the Tower Clock roundabout, crash duties, seat belts, motorcycle helmets, drink-drive offences and the 2- and 4-second following rules. LTA publishes the Road Code in English and Samoan and schedules theory sittings Tuesday–Thursday at Vaitele and Salelologa. This free bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of that published Road Code — it is not an official LTA paper, not a translation of the Samoan sitting, and not a substitute for the practical test.

Assessment

Written theory (50 questions; bring a pen) at LTA on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday after 09:00–12:00 registration, then a separate practical on Monday or Friday if you pass. The official Road Code is published in English and Samoan. Commercial classes add a Defensive Driving Course and a vehicle-specific practical.

Time Limit

Not officially published by LTA as a single fixed time limit for the theory sitting.

Passing Score

45 out of 50 (Samoa National Road Code s.1.2)

Exam Fee

Samoa LTA Driver Theory Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Download the official Samoa National Road Code (English and/or Samoan) from lta.gov.ws and learn the exact 45/50 pass rule, L-plate and supervisor conditions, and licence ages.

2Lock in left-hand traffic and the 2016 give-way changes: if you are turning right, give way to the opposite vehicle turning left; at an uncontrolled T, the bottom of the T gives way to the top.

3Memorise the three Road Code speed classes: 24 km/h (15 mph) at corners, intersections, bridges and when passing schools or churches in use; 40 km/h (25 mph) inside the 2-mile (3 km) Apia town radius; 56 km/h (35 mph) outside that radius.

4Drill signs and lights: complete stop at STOP, flashing yellow means apply give-way rules, and a school patrol requires traffic from both directions to stop until the signs are removed.

5This bank is English MCQ study only. The official sitting is a 50-question written test; you still need the separate practical on Monday or Friday after you pass theory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who administers the Samoa driver theory test?

The Land Transport Authority of Samoa (LTA) administers driver licensing, including the theory test, through its Vehicle & Driver License Registration Section / Road Use Management Division at Vaitele (Upolu) and Salelologa (Savai'i).

How many questions are on the official theory test, and what is the pass mark?

The Samoa National Road Code (s.1.2) says you sit a theory test of 50 questions and must pass 45 out of 50 before taking the on-road practical. LTA's drivers-licence page also tells candidates to bring a pen. This practice bank has 100 English MCQs as a study aid — it is not the official 50-item paper.

Is the official test in English?

LTA publishes the Samoa National Road Code in English and Samoan. Commercial practicals also check whether you can speak and read Samoan and English. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation — not an official translation, not a bilingual sitting, and not a claim that every official item is English-only.

What ages apply for learner, private and commercial licences?

Learner's permit from 16 (light private vehicle under 3 tons tare, L-plates, licensed supervisor in the front seat). Private or motorcycle licence from 17 after theory and practical. Taxi, truck and heavy machinery from 21; buses from 25. You must hold a private licence for 6 months before applying for a commercial licence.

What does it cost?

LTA lists a learner permit at WST $79 for 3 months, a new private licence at WST $173 for local citizens (5 years) after you pass theory and practical, a theory retake at WST $32 after one week, and WST $315 for overseas citizens sitting theory and practical. Confirm current amounts on lta.gov.ws.

Is this practice bank an official LTA exam?

No. It is a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation based on the published Samoa National Road Code, LTA licensing pages and the Road Traffic Ordinance 1960. It is not an official LTA paper, not a format simulation of the 50-item sitting, and not a substitute for the practical driving test.
