Ontario’s written test (G1) will contain questions regarding traffic safety, road rules, road signs, and traffic laws.

The G1 written test comprises 2 sections (Road Signs and Traffic Rules) with 20 questions in each section, 40 questions on the written licence exam. An overall score of 80% or more is required to pass.

You can take as long as you wish to complete the knowledge tests (provided you finish within working hours) but a typical candidate takes between twenty and thirty minutes.

All the information required for your class of licence can be found in the ministry of Transportation’s Official Driver’s Handbook. A partial version is available online but it is recommended that you get the printed copy of the handbook relevant to your class of licence. There are MTO-approved driving schools that run courses that can prepare you for the test. You can also try our G1, M1, and Class A practice tests.

You are advised to do so by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. It is the surest way of being able to answer any possible question that could arise on the exam. Pay attention to Chapters 2, 3, and 6 for specifics about what will be expected on the road test. Also, study information regarding road signs, passing, braking, one-way streets, speed control, other vehicles, defensive driving, intersections, accidents, adverse weather, road work, proper insurance, BAC level and more.

After you pass your knowledge test in Ontario, you will get a licence called a G1 licence. You may begin using this licence to drive with. You may drive on most roads as long as there is a G licensed driver with at least 4 years of experience sitting next to you at all times. You may not drive on any 400 series expressways such as Don Valley Parkway, Queen Elizabeth Expressway and etc. You have to hold your G1 licence for at least 12 months and should consider enrolling in a driver’s education course. Once your 12 month wait period is over, you may schedule to have your road test.

You can pay the required fee and try again as many times as you like. If you retake the test within a year of your original attempt, you will only have to retake those parts that you failed. If you leave it for more than a year, you will have to take the entire test again.
