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.
