Practicing with 100 questions gives you more exposure to Ontario's G1 test material than shorter practice sets. The official test has 40 questions, but comprehensive practice with more questions means you've studied everything that might appear.
Taking a longer practice test does more than check your knowledge. It builds mental stamina, reveals which topics need more attention, and helps you recognize patterns in how questions are structured and asked.
Covers More Ground With 100 questions, you see a wider variety of topics and question styles. This broader exposure means fewer surprises on the actual test.
Multiple Questions Per Topic The real test might ask one question about school buses. A 100-question practice set includes several, showing you different ways that topic gets tested.
Better Knowledge Assessment Forty questions might miss your weak areas by chance. One hundred questions are more likely to expose every knowledge gap.
Builds Test Endurance If you can maintain focus and accuracy through 100 questions, the 40-question real test feels manageable. You've trained for more than you'll face.
Traffic Signs (25-30 questions) Expect questions on regulatory signs (stop, yield, speed limit), warning signs (curves, intersections, hazards), information signs (hospitals, services), and construction zone signs.
Right-of-Way Rules (20-25 questions) Who goes first at various intersection types. Pedestrian priority. Emergency vehicle procedures. Roundabout navigation. School bus regulations.
Speed and Distance (15-20 questions) Default speed limits for different roads. School zone speeds. Following distance requirements. When to reduce speed. Stopping distances.
Safe Driving (15-20 questions) Passing rules. Lane changes. Weather adjustments. Night driving. Sharing roads with cyclists and pedestrians. Defensive driving principles.
Parking and Stopping (10-15 questions) Where parking is prohibited. Required distances from hydrants and intersections. Understanding parking signs and restrictions.
Specific Situations (10-15 questions) Railway crossings. Emergency vehicles. School buses. Highway merging. Special weather conditions.
Don't Rush You're practicing, not racing. Take time to read each question completely and consider all answer options carefully.
Track Your Answers Keep notes about questions you find difficult or uncertain. These highlight topics needing more study time.
Take It in Sections Break the 100 questions into manageable chunks. Answer 25, take a short break, then continue. This mirrors how you might handle the real test if you need to pause and refocus.
Review As You Go If you're uncertain about an answer, mark it and review the handbook section on that topic immediately after finishing the practice set.
Retake After Studying Once you've reviewed weak areas, take another 100-question test. Your score should improve significantly if you studied effectively.
Question Patterns After seeing many questions on the same topic, you start recognizing how the test writers structure questions. This familiarity helps on the real exam.
Common Traps Some wrong answers look tempting because they're partially correct or related to the topic. Extended practice teaches you to spot these traps.
Keyword Recognition Words like "except," "always," "never," and "must" appear in specific types of questions. One hundred questions give you enough exposure to catch these keywords automatically.
Time Management You learn your natural pace. Some people answer quickly and need to slow down for accuracy. Others overthink and need to trust their first instinct.
85-100 Correct (85-100%) Excellent preparation. You're ready for the real G1 test. Keep reviewing materials lightly until test day to maintain this level.
75-84 Correct (75-84%) Good foundation with room for improvement. Review topics where you lost points, take another practice test in a few days, then schedule your real test.
65-74 Correct (65-74%) You know basics but have significant gaps. Spend another week studying weak areas identified in this practice test before taking more practice tests.
Below 65 Correct (Below 65%) Not ready yet. Go back to the Ontario Driver's Handbook and read sections you struggled with. Build your knowledge base before attempting more practice tests.
Traffic Sign Questions You'll see stop signs, yield signs, speed limits, no parking signs, school zones, construction signs, pedestrian crossings, railway warnings, and information signs for services.
Intersection Scenarios Four-way stops with different arrival times. Uncontrolled intersections. Roundabouts. Left turns across traffic. Right turns on red lights. Pedestrians in crosswalks.
Highway and Freeway Questions Merging procedures. Passing on highways. Express/collector systems. When to use different lanes. Speed requirements. G1 restrictions on 400-series highways.
Weather and Visibility Driving in rain, snow, fog, and ice. When to use headlights. Adjusting following distance. Reducing speed. Handling reduced visibility situations.
Parking Regulations Distance requirements from fire hydrants (three meters), intersections (nine meters), and fire stations (five meters). Understanding parking signs, meters, and time limits.
Questions You Got Wrong List every topic where you missed questions. These are your study priorities. G1 Ready CA has targeted study materials for each topic area.
Questions You Guessed Even if you guessed correctly, uncertainty means incomplete knowledge. Review these topics as if you got them wrong.
Questions You Flagged Flagging questions during practice indicates hesitation. These topics might need reinforcement even if your answer was correct.
Patterns in Mistakes Missing multiple questions about one topic (like right-of-way or parking) reveals a specific knowledge gap requiring focused study.
Start With 20-Question Sets If 100 questions feels overwhelming, begin with shorter practice tests. Take five 20-question sets over several days.
Progress to 40-Question Tests Once 20-question sets feel comfortable, move to 40-question tests matching the real exam length. Practice with realistic test formats that mirror the actual G1.
Then Try 60 Questions Increase to 60 questions to build stamina beyond what you'll need. This makes the real test feel easier by comparison.
Finally Take 100 Questions When you're consistently scoring well on shorter tests, tackle the full 100 questions to verify your comprehensive knowledge.
Regulatory Sign Question You see a circular sign with a red border and a number inside. What does this sign indicate?
Maximum speed allowed. Circular signs with red borders and numbers show speed limits.
Right-of-Way Question You're at a four-way stop. You arrived second. The first car is turning left. You're going straight. Who proceeds first?
The other car goes first. First to arrive has priority regardless of which direction they're traveling.
Weather Condition Question You're driving in heavy rain and visibility drops significantly. What should you do?
Reduce speed and turn on low-beam headlights. Hazard lights while moving can confuse other drivers about your intentions.
Parking Question How far from a fire hydrant must you park?
Three meters. Parking closer than three meters from a fire hydrant is prohibited throughout Ontario.
G1 Restriction Question As a G1 license holder, when can you drive on Highway 401?
Never. G1 drivers cannot use 400-series highways under any circumstances, including with a licensed passenger.
Stop Sign Procedures Complete stop at the line or crosswalk. Look both ways. Proceed only when safe. These appear in multiple question variations.
Speed Limit Knowledge Default speeds for cities (50 km/h), rural highways (80 km/h), and freeways (100 km/h). School zones (40 km/h). Construction zones vary but are posted.
Following Distance Two-second rule in good weather. Four seconds in rain. Eight seconds in snow. Calculate by picking a fixed point and counting.
Railway Crossing Rules Stop five meters from nearest rail when signals flash or gates are down. Never race trains. Never stop on tracks.
School Bus Requirements Stop when red lights flash and stop arm extends. Applies whether behind bus or meeting it. Resume only after lights stop and arm retracts.
First 25 Questions Most people maintain high focus and accuracy on early questions. Use this fresh mental energy on questions you find challenging.
Questions 26-50 Attention might waver. Take a quick 30-second break. Stretch. Refocus. Return to the practice test with renewed concentration.
Questions 51-75 This middle section tests your endurance. Stay disciplined about reading every word. Don't let fatigue cause careless mistakes.
Final 25 Questions Push through to finish strong. Knowing you're near the end helps maintain focus. Your accuracy on these questions shows your real test readiness.
Losing Concentration Mental fatigue leads to misreading questions or selecting wrong answers you know are incorrect. Take breaks when needed.
Going Too Fast Extended practice isn't about speed. Rushing through 100 questions defeats the purpose of comprehensive preparation.
Not Reviewing Wrong Answers Simply checking your score without understanding mistakes wastes the practice opportunity. Review every question you missed.
Taking Too Many Tests More practice tests don't help if you haven't studied between them. Take a test, study weak areas, then test again. Repeating tests without studying just measures the same gaps.
Memorizing Instead of Learning If you're memorizing which letter is correct without understanding why, you're not prepared for questions worded differently on the real test.
More Comprehensive Coverage The real test samples 40 questions from a large pool. You might not see every topic. One hundred questions ensure you've studied everything possible.
Similar Difficulty Level Good practice questions match real test difficulty. If practice feels harder, that's actually good preparation. The real test will seem easier.
Same Question Formats Multiple choice with four options. Scenario-based questions. Sign identification. True/false style questions. Practice matches these formats.
Different Pressure Level Practice at home lacks the pressure of the DriveTest center. Your real test score might be slightly lower due to nerves, which is normal.
Week One: First 100-Question Test Take your baseline test after reading the Ontario Driver's Handbook once. Don't worry about the score. This shows where you're starting from.
Week Two: Study Weak Areas Focus on topics where you missed multiple questions. Read those handbook sections carefully. Take notes. Quiz yourself on those specific topics.
Week Three: Second 100-Question Test Your score should improve significantly. If not, your study method needs adjustment. Maybe you need more time with the handbook or different approaches.
Week Four: Final Practice Take one more 100-question test. Scores consistently above 85%? Book your real test. Below that? Spend more time on remaining weak areas.
Two Weeks Before Test Day Stop taking 100-question tests. Switch to 40-question practice tests that exactly match the real exam format.
Final Week Take one 40-question test every other day. This gets you comfortable with the real test length and pacing.
Day Before Your Test One final 40-question practice test to refresh your memory. High score builds confidence. Lower score shows topics for quick evening review.
Test Day Morning Don't take practice tests the morning of your real exam. Your brain needs to be fresh, not tired from practice questions.
Reading the Handbook Practice tests show what you know. The Ontario Driver's Handbook teaches you what you need to know. You need both.
Understanding Principles Memorizing that the answer is "C" doesn't help when the real test asks the same concept differently. Understand why answers are correct.
Real-World Context Practice tests teach rules. Comprehensive study including scenarios and context helps you understand how rules apply on actual roads.
Test Day Preparation Knowing the material doesn't mean you're logistically ready. Know the DriveTest location, have your ID ready, and get proper sleep.
