Read full description

Preparing for your Ontario G1 knowledge test? G1 Knowledge Test Practice gives you a focused, distraction-free way to study and walk into ServiceOntario ready. Work through a bank of 251 practice questions across the two areas the real test covers β€” Rules of the Road and Traffic Signs β€” then sit a timed 40-question mock that mirrors the exam format and the 80% mark you need to pass. Every question comes with a plain-language explanation grounded in the MTO Driver's Handbook, so you learn the "why," not just the answer. WHAT YOU GET β€’ 251 practice questions across two chapters: Rules of the Road and Traffic Signs β€’ Timed 40-question mock tests with the real 80% pass threshold β€’ Practice mode by chapter β€” drill signs or rules on their own, untimed β€’ Clear explanations on every question, referenced to the MTO Driver's Handbook β€’ Read-aloud support: have questions and explanations spoken to you β€’ Progress tracking that syncs across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud β€” no account, no login β€’ Fully offline β€” all questions live on your device, so you can study anywhere HOW IT HELPS Take a full mock to see where you stand, then switch to chapter practice to shore up the topics you miss most. Retake your missed questions as a fresh timed set until the rules and signs stick. Track your scores over time and watch your readiness climb. Built for new Ontario drivers getting their G1, newcomers to Canada preparing for the written test, and anyone who wants a calm, modern way to revise before the real thing. Your progress stays private: it's stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud β€” there's no sign-up and no personal account.
