How to study for the Ontario G1 test?

Study the official MTO Driver's Handbook carefully, then use realistic online G1 practice tests to check your understanding and identify weak areas. Aim for repeated, short sessions, review every mistake, and keep practising until you consistently score well above the passing mark.

How many questions are on the G1 test in Ontario?

The Ontario G1 test has 40 multiple-choice questions in total, split into 20 on road rules and 20 on road signs. You must pass both sections in the same sitting to get your G1 licence.

What is the best way to study for the G1?

Combine reading the handbook with doing timed practice tests that simulate the real exam experience. Focus on road signs and right-of-way situations, review explanations for every answer, and revisit topics you regularly get wrong until they feel automatic.

What are common mistakes on the G1 test?

Common mistakes include rushing through questions, mixing up similar road signs, misreading right-of-way scenarios, and not fully understanding speed limits or rules in special zones (school, construction, etc.). Many people also fail because they rely only on guessing from practice tests instead of actually learning the rules from the handbook.
