You’ve dreamed about getting behind the wheel. It’s time to start practicing!

All new drivers in Ontario must take a G1 knowledge test (also known as G1 written test). The official test is created by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and is offered in all DriveTest Centres. The test is available on paper at all locations across Ontario, and on computer at some locations. No appointemnt is required (make sure you come at least one hour before the DriveTest centre closes though). There are 40 questions on the official G1 test, and they are all multiple choice. The test is not timed. You’ll receive two test sheets, each with 20 questions. The first set of 20 questions is about road signs, while the second one is about the rules of the road. You’ll need to get 16 or more questions right on each of those two sections in order to pass your G1 test (the total passing score for both sections is 80%). Your G1 knowledge test will be marked on the spot, and you’ll receive your results immediately. The results of your G1 written test are valid for one year.

There is no way of telling what another driver may do. Aside from these tips, the most important thing to keep in mind is to be safe and have a great time.

Honestly the best thing I used to study off of! I passed using this, complete all tests until you get perfect! You are guaranteed your g1. ~ Sam Villemaire

Fantastic test questions, I swear. I got 39 out of 40. G1.ca helps 100% if anyone wants to pass G1 exam. Amazing feelings! ~ Abdul Haseeb, Toronto

Passed today with only one mistake. Love this site, thanks so much! ~ Sarah Kester, Toronto

Ok so I just finished the official test and omg can I just say this was like so frickin’ easy. If you just skim through the pages roughly and do the practice tests on this website you are pretty much ready.~ Sonia Khan, Mississauga

Didn’t even read the books, passed my test with only one wrong. Great tool.~ Ethan Cowlan

I did my G1 today and got full marks. This test simulator was really helpful. My advice for people planning for G1 knowledge test is, 1st read the book as you read a newspaper, 2nd write aside any info with numbers (e.g. demerit points tables, any monetary fines, appropriate following distances etc) then solve all the test simulator questions and make sure that you pass them 100% successfully before exam day. Good luck for everyone.~ Myada Roshdi

I just passed today my written test. Thank you very much of this website. It gives you exact information that is in the actual written test.~ Nelie Swan

The questions are really very similar. If you study them and get results of 100% or very near this score, you will pass the test. For example, the question ‘When a streetcar is stopped to pick up or discharge passengers, and there is a safety island, what does the law require you to do?’ was not exactly the same. The correct answer mentioned that you must pass ON THE RIGHT SIDE of the streetcar. Thank you to G1.ca!~ Ana Cristina Azevedo
