G1 road signs test — frequently asked questions
How many road sign questions are on the G1 test?
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 road signs part to pass it.
What if I pass the rules part but fail the road signs part?
You only rewrite the part you failed. Each part is marked on its own, so a pass on the rules of the road carries over while you retake the road signs part.
Is this the official MTO road signs 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.
