The Ontario G1 knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions in two parts: 20 on road signs and 20 on the rules of the road. You need at least 16 out of 20 (80%) on the rules of the road part to pass it.
What if I pass the road signs part but fail the rules part?

Is this the official MTO rules of the road test?
No. This is a free, unofficial practice test based on the Ontario MTO Driver's Handbook. The real knowledge test is written at a DriveTest centre and its questions may differ, so study the official handbook as well as practising here.
