About the Ontario G1 Knowledge Test

Updated for 2026. Every question and road sign on this page is built straight from the current official MTO Driver's Handbook (the same source the real DriveTest exam draws from), and written in the same multiple-choice format and wording style as the actual G1 test. Practise here and the real questions will feel familiar.

The G1 is the first step in Ontario's graduated licensing system. To get your G1 licence you must pass a vision test and a written knowledge test based entirely on the official MTO Driver's Handbook. The test has 40 multiple-choice questions in two sections: 20 on road signs and 20 on the rules of the road. You need 80% in each section (16 out of 20) to pass.

How this practice test helps

  • Real-style questions on both sections, with actual Ontario road-sign graphics.
  • Instant feedback: pick an answer and see right away whether it's correct.
  • A plain-English explanation after every question, so you learn the "why," not just the answer.
  • Practise by category (road signs, rules of the road, or both) as many times as you like.
  • Switch to exam-simulation mode for a realistic 40-question test (20 signs + 20 rules) scored like the real thing. You need 80% in each section to pass, then review every question you missed.
  • It's free, works on your phone, and needs no sign-up.

Tips to pass on your first try

Read the handbook cover to cover at least once, learn signs by their shape and colour (a red octagon is always Stop, a yellow diamond is always a warning), and keep practising until you consistently score 90%+. Prefer to study before you quiz? Our free G1 cheat sheet lists every question with its answer, explanation and sign picture in one printable page. For a full walkthrough, read our guide on how to pass the G1 test in Ontario, and see what happens if you fail the G1 test so you know exactly what to expect.

Built from the latest MTO Driver's Handbook and the real test's format, so nothing on test day catches you off guard.
