This written exam evaluates your understanding of Ontario’s road rules, traffic signs, and safe driving practices. The test consists of multiple-choice questions and is available in several languages at DriveTest Centres. Applicants should prepare by studying the Ontario Driver’s Handbook, which covers all relevant topics. Passing the knowledge test allows you to obtain a G1 licence, the first stage in Ontario’s graduated licensing system. Thorough preparation and practice are essential to ensure success and to promote safe, responsible driving on Ontario’s roads.

Test yourself with the G1 practice test study questions until you can explain the concepts clearly without looking at the notes.
