Number of Questions on the G1 Test

The G1 test in Ontario, Canada, comprises 40 multiple-choice questions aimed at assessing knowledge of road rules and signs. This test is split into two sections: one with 20 questions on road signs, and the other with 20 on road rules. Typically, the test takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete. To pass the written knowledge test, candidates must correctly answer at least 16 questions in each section. Successfully passing this test is a crucial step toward obtaining a G1 driver’s license in Ontario.

The written knowledge exam for the G1 license in Ontario is based on the 2026 Driver’s Handbook. Exams are conducted at local DriveTest Centres, where candidates must also complete an eye exam. Ontario employs a Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program. Starting at 16, individuals can test for their G1. Subsequently, they must hold the license for a year, or eight months if enrolled in a driver training program, before taking a driving test for a G2 license. The entire licensing process spans approximately two years.

G1 Test Cost

The G1 test costs $158.25. This fee includes both the written exam and the subsequent drive test for a G2 license. An additional fee of $15.75 is required for retaking the knowledge test, if necessary.

Our 40 free Ontario G1 questions and answers are structured to mimic the format of the written knowledge exam and get you safely on the road.

Ontario G1 rules to keep straight

Rules that commonly sit behind missed Test 2 answers.

The G1 test is not a road test

This practice set checks written knowledge, not driving skill. Use explanations to connect the rule to real Ontario driving situations.

Penalty questions require exact numbers

Demerit points, suspensions and fines are easy to miss when the answer choices are close.

Right-of-way questions start with the situation

Identify pedestrians, signs, lights and vehicle position before applying the general yielding rule.

How to use G1 Test 2

Use this set to find rule gaps after the first practice test.

1
Compare misses with Test 1
Repeated mistakes point to a topic gap, not just a bad question.
2
Review the rule behind each penalty
Do not memorize only the answer choice when the question uses a point value or suspension length.
3
Move to Test 3 when mistakes narrow
A smaller error pattern makes the next set more useful than another blind restart.
