Study strategy guide

A Two-Week Ontario G1 Study Plan

A short study plan works best when it alternates reading, retrieval, explanation, and correction rather than repeating full tests every day.

Key takeaways

  • Use the official handbook as the source of truth.
  • Separate signs study from rules study before mixing them.
  • Schedule time to correct mistakes, not only to produce scores.

Days 1–4: build the foundation

Read the licensing overview and traffic-sign chapters first, taking brief notes in your own words.

  • Day 1: test process and G1 restrictions.
  • Day 2: regulatory and warning signs.
  • Day 3: temporary, information, lights, and markings.
  • Day 4: retrieve sign meanings without notes.

Days 5–10: rules and situations

Move through right-of-way, turns, sharing the road, safe driving, difficult conditions, and legal responsibilities.

  • Days 5–6: intersections and turns.
  • Days 7–8: sharing the road and safe driving.
  • Days 9–10: weather, emergencies, and licence responsibilities.

Days 11–14: practise and correct

Use focused practice before a mixed simulation. Build a correction list containing the rule, the correct answer, and the official section that supports it.

  • Day 11: signs practice and corrections.
  • Day 12: rules practice and corrections.
  • Day 13: mixed simulation and targeted review.
  • Day 14: light review, documents, centre information, and rest.
