Ontario G1 test FAQ 2026: how many questions, pass mark, cost

DriveTest does not publish the number of questions; the test is commonly reported as 40 questions (20 road signs + 20 rules of the road, 16 correct in each section), and our practice tests use that format.

You need 80% to pass, per DriveTest. Our practice tests mark 16 of 20 in each section, the commonly reported format.

You need 16 of 20 in each section to pass, so in the commonly reported 40-question format you can get at most 8 wrong overall, and each section has its own mark. The best preparation is to study the Official MTO Driver's Handbook (online edition on ontario.ca) and take practice tests until you pass them comfortably.
