G1 driver's test 2025 2.2

Upon successfully completing an eye examination and a written test, beginner drivers are granted a G1 license, allowing them to practice driving for a duration of 12 months. It is important to note that G1 license holders are prohibited from driving under the influence of alcohol, operating a vehicle between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., navigating busy highways and expressways, and must be accompanied by a fully licensed and experienced driver.

The G1 written test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, divided into two sections: rules of the road and road signs. A minimum of 16 correct answers in each section is required to pass the written knowledge test. This examination is based on the 2022 Driver’s Handbook and is administered at local DriveTest Centres, where candidates will also undergo an eye examination prior to obtaining their G1 license. Ontario employs a graduated driver’s license (GDL) program; individuals can begin testing for their G1 at age 16 and must hold this license for either one year or eight months if enrolled in a driver training program before advancing to the G2 license, making the entire licensing process approximately two years long.

Research indicates that studying exclusively from the official MTO manual results in only a 49 percent pass rate for the G1 written test. The handbook’s dense format may hinder efficient learning, presenting an overwhelming amount of information for aspiring drivers to retain simultaneously.

Statistics reveal that approximately 80 percent of individuals pass the G1 test on their first attempt; however, this also means that 20 percent may not succeed initially. Such outcomes underscore the potential necessity for additional study aids.

Strategies for success include diligently practicing with an educational app designed to enhance preparation. Engaging in mock tests can provide valuable feedback regarding readiness for the official examination. Additionally, starting with flashcards can efficiently impart essential knowledge, followed by exercises aimed at reinforcing retention. Timely review of incorrectly answered questions is vital for addressing knowledge gaps.
