How many questions are on the Ontario G1 test?

40 multiple-choice questions: 20 on road signs and 20 on rules of the road. You need 80% (16 of 20) correct in each section to pass.

How much does the G1 test cost?

As of 2026, the G1 licence package is $159.75 CAD, covering the knowledge test, your first G2 road test attempt, and your 5-year licence. Fees change over time, so confirm the current amount on ontario.ca.

How long do I have to wait before the G2 test?

You must hold your G1 for at least 12 months before taking the G2 road test, or 8 months if you complete a Ministry-approved driver's education course.

What happens if I fail the G1 test?

You can retake it as many times as needed, but not the same day — Ontario requires waiting until at least the next day, and you'll need to pay the test fee again.

How the Ontario G1 Test Works

The Ontario G1 knowledge test has 40 multiple-choice questions split into two equal sections: 20 on road signs and 20 on rules of the road. You need at least 16 correct in each section — 80% — to pass. Scoring well on one section doesn't make up for a weak score on the other, so both halves matter equally.
