G1 Knowledge Test
How long is the Ontario G1 knowledge test?
Quick answer
There is no strict time limit on the Ontario G1 knowledge test -- you work through the 40 questions at your own pace. Most candidates finish in well under an hour, including the vision test that is done at the same appointment.
Untimed, but be prepared
Unlike some theory tests, the G1 has no countdown clock, so you can read each question carefully and review your answers. This app’s mock tests still use a generous practice timer to build a calm, steady pace, but the real test is not strictly timed.
Plan for the whole appointment
Your visit to the DriveTest centre also includes paperwork, a vision test, and the licensing process. Arrive early so you are not rushed, and bring everything on your checklist.
Practise without rushing
Time pressure is rarely the problem -- misreading questions is. Practising at a steady, unhurried pace ensures you read each question fully and identify each sign correctly before choosing an answer.
