What topics are covered on the G1 knowledge test?

The G1 knowledge test covers two main sections: traffic signs and road rules. The signs section tests your ability to identify regulatory, warning, and informational signs. The rules section covers right-of-way, safe driving practices, traffic laws, and situational driving scenarios as outlined in the Official MTO Driver's Handbook.

What identification do I need to bring for the G1 test?

You must bring acceptable identification that confirms your legal name, date of birth, and signature. Common accepted documents include a valid passport, Canadian citizenship card, or permanent resident card. You also need proof of legal presence in Canada. If your documents are not in English or French, you must provide a certified translation.

Is the G1 test available in languages other than English?

Yes, the G1 knowledge test is available in over 20 languages at DriveTest centres across Ontario. You can request your preferred language when you arrive for the test. No advance booking for a specific language is required, though availability may vary by location. An interpreter is not permitted during the test.

How old do I have to be to take the G1 test?

You must be at least 16 years old to take the G1 knowledge test in Ontario. There is no maximum age limit. If you are under 18, you do not need parental consent to write the test, but a parent or guardian must co-sign certain forms when you receive your G1 licence.

What is the format of the G1 knowledge test?

The G1 test is a multiple-choice written exam with 40 questions split into two sections of 20 questions each. The first section covers road signs and the second covers rules of the road. You must score at least 16 out of 20 correct in each section to pass, for an 80 percent minimum in both parts.

How long is the G1 knowledge test?

There is no strict time limit for the G1 knowledge test, and most candidates finish within 20 to 30 minutes. You can take as much time as you need to complete the 40 multiple-choice questions. The entire DriveTest centre visit, including paperwork, the eye test, and photo, typically takes one to two hours.

Do I need to take an eye test for my G1 licence?

Yes, a basic vision screening is conducted at the DriveTest centre on the same day you write your G1 knowledge test. The test checks visual acuity and may assess peripheral vision. If you wear corrective lenses, bring them to the appointment. A restriction code will be added to your licence if corrective lenses are required for driving.

What is the best way to study for the G1 test?

The most effective preparation is reading the Official MTO Driver's Handbook thoroughly, as all test questions are based on its content. Focus on memorizing road sign shapes, colours, and meanings, as well as specific rules like speed limits, right-of-way, and demerit points. Taking practice tests helps you get familiar with the multiple-choice format and identify weak areas before test day.
