I highly recommend this registry for your road test. Its a bit far from my place but its all worth the experience. The road is not as congested as the other registries nearby, so you can be calmed and relax during the test. The staffs also are sensible and accommodating. Looking forward to be back for my advance road test after 2 years ❤️ read less

I felt his review of my driving skills were honest and he took the time to explain my weak areas and ensured I understood what he pointed out. David, thank you read less

I went in and asked them to look over my car about a week early to make sure that it was acceptable to use for my test, which gave me some peace of mind. The cost of the test was less than expected, only about $93 (I had read that some locations charged about 150 for the test). For the test itself it was about 20 minutes long and was pretty straightforward, mostly just following directions as they're given and then you make choices about right of way and navigating to follow the directions. I practiced driving in the area several times before the test to get more comfortable and know what to expect from the roads and found the neighbourhood to be beautiful and have lots to play around with. The neighborhoods around the registry have good curbs and lots of good spots for parallel parking practice if you want to practice beforehand. The hills in the area are a mix of fairly shallow and steep in terms of hill parking, so you will have options to practice different kinds of slopes. There is also both angle parking and perpendicular parking spots in the parking lot so you have some good options before and after the test. In the debrief discussion after the test, the point deductions that I received seemed fair, and the examiner gave feedback for each of the deductions and listened to my explanations as well. The examiner explained what to expect from the test process, answered all my questions before we started the test, and did not seem rushed, so ask as many questions as you need so you feel prepared to start. The registry was a bit busy (but comparable to other registries that I have been to, so this is as expected) and the staff all were very nice and friendly regardless. After you book your exam the system suggests you arrive half an hour early to your test time, and I do suggest doing that as you will need to wait in line and don't want to be stressed about starting late. Overall I had a good experience, and it was one of the registries recommended by my driver school instructor in terms of being a good location (lots of residential areas and not too many major roads). read less

In fact, I would go as far as to say that they are one of the best in Edmonton. I already recommended Riverbend Registry to a few of my colleagues. They also found how friendly and helpful the agents can be! read less

He is a very nice man and talks to you to make you feel more comfortable which worked for me and I appreciated that. As long as you follow the rules of the road and drive safely he will mark you fairly. read less
