Ontario G1 test prep that keeps you moving
Know what to bring, what the test covers, how fees work, and how to turn missed questions into a cleaner study loop.
Pass the knowledge step without guessing your way through it.
The G1 test is where Ontario checks whether you understand signs, rules, and safe choices before supervised driving starts.
- Road signs and what each sign requires you to do
- Right-of-way, intersections, school buses, emergency vehicles, and penalties
- Short review loops that force you to fix missed topics instead of repeating easy questions
Before you go to DriveTest
- You can apply for a G1 at age 16 if you are an Ontario resident and pass vision and knowledge tests.
- The G1 knowledge test is based on the Official MTO Driver's Handbook.
- Knowledge tests are handled at DriveTest centres, with no road driving during the G1 test itself.
- Bring original ID, payment, and glasses or contacts if required.
Most G1 mistakes are study-loop mistakes.
Studying only memorized practice-question order
Arriving late in the day and running into closing-time pressure
Forgetting original ID, payment, or required glasses or contacts

No. The G1 test is a knowledge and vision step. The first car road test is the G2 road test after the required G1 waiting period.
Should I use the handbook or an app?
Use the official handbook as the source of truth, then use an app or quizzes to repeat weak topics until the rules are easy to recall.
