Ontario G1 Practice Test in Farsi – 50 Free Questions
Free G1 Practice Test in Farsi — Built for Farsi-Speaking Drivers in Ontario
This is an unofficial practice test for study purposes and is not affiliated with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation or DriveTest.
If فارسی is your first language, studying for your driver’s licence in English can be twice as hard as it needs to be. Whether you are new to Canada or have lived here for years — perhaps as part of the vibrant Farsi-speaking community in Richmond Hill and Thornhill — you deserve study materials that speak your language. This free practice test gives you 50 practice questions using Ontario road signs, fully translated into فارسی, so you can focus on learning the signs instead of translating every word.
The interactive test above works just like the ones on our English pages: study the sign, pick the answer you think is right, and get instant green/red feedback on every question. Aim to consistently score above 80% before your test date.
Once you’re comfortable with the signs, don’t forget the second half of the exam — our full 200-question G1 practice test covers the rules of the road as well.
What Is on the Ontario G1 Test?
The G1 knowledge test is a computer-based, multiple-choice exam taken at a DriveTest centre. It is not timed, and you get your result before you leave. Here is the exact format:
| Section | Questions | Score needed to pass |
|---|---|---|
| Road signs | 20 | 16/20 (80%) |
| Rules of the road | 20 | 16/20 (80%) |
The part most people underestimate: you must pass both sections independently. A perfect score on road signs will not save a weak rules section. That is why this page focuses on signs — pair it with our 200-question G1 practice test to cover the rules of the road too.
How to Use This Farsi G1 Practice Test
- Look carefully at each sign image. Every question shows an Ontario traffic sign — the same style you will see at a DriveTest centre.
- Click the answer you think is correct. Green means you got it right; if you are wrong, your choice turns red and the correct answer turns green.
- Use “سوال بعدی” to move forward. You can also press “ثبت آزمون” at any time to see your results early.
- Review your score report. You will see your total, attempted, correct, wrong, percentage, and a pass/fail verdict (80% to pass).
- Retake until you score 90%+. Hit “تلاش دوباره” and run it again — repetition builds sign recognition.
5 Study Tips to Pass Your G1 Test on the First Try
- Learn the English terms alongside the فارسی. Study everything in Farsi here first, then confirm the current language options at your local DriveTest centre when you book — the official test’s available languages can change. It still pays to learn the English sign names as well as the فارسی meanings — bilingual flashcards work well for this. For offline review, you can also download our free G1 questions and answers PDF.
- Learn signs in families, not one by one. Regulatory signs (red, like stop and yield), warning signs (yellow diamonds, like curves and slippery roads), and information signs (green and blue) each follow visual patterns. Know the family and half the question is already answered.
- Watch for “look-alike” pairs. The yield sign vs. the stop sign ahead, the divided-highway-begins vs. divided-highway-ends signs, and the various no-turn signs are classic traps. Our test includes all of them.
- Do not ignore the rules section. Many learners ace the signs and stumble on rules about demerit points, blood-alcohol limits, and G1 restrictions (no 400-series highways, midnight–5 a.m. curfew). Cover both halves.
- Simulate test day. Sit somewhere quiet, put your phone away, and run through all 50 questions without notes — the real test room at DriveTest does not allow study materials or electronics.
G1 Test Preparation Guide for Farsi Speakers in Ontario
Ontario’s Iranian community, centred in North York and Willowdale — an area some locals nicknamed Tehranto — along with Richmond Hill, Scarborough, and Ottawa, grows with every wave of newcomers. For Farsi speakers, a driver’s licence is often the key to independence: it turns a long bus commute into a manageable drive, opens jobs beyond the subway lines, and lets families settle where housing is affordable rather than where transit reaches. The G1 knowledge test is the first step, and while the concepts are universal, the path through them has some distinctly Persian twists.
Language is the first challenge to plan around. The computerized G1 knowledge test is offered in 20+ languages at most DriveTest centres (paper versions are English/French only), so this Farsi practice test is where you build understanding, not where the journey ends. Farsi reads right to left and uses the Persian script, which makes English road-sign vocabulary genuinely foreign at first glance. The words that repeat most on the exam — right-of-way, yield, merge, demerit points, intersection, shoulder — need to become reflexes, because on test day there is no translation. The method that works is pairing: learn what each sign means in Farsi on this page, then drill the English word separately with flashcards until the word alone triggers the meaning. Text-only signs deserve the most repetition. Signs like Do Not Enter, Wrong Way, and No Parking carry no symbols, so the English word is the entire message.
Driving culture is the second adjustment. Tehran’s traffic is famously assertive, and anyone who has navigated its highways has real skill. But Ontario rewards a different kind of driving: calm, predictable, and strictly rule-bound. The horn, used constantly in Tehran as communication, is almost never used in Ontario except as a warning. Following distances are longer, signalling is expected well in advance of every move, and pedestrians at crosswalks have the right-of-way as a matter of law, not courtesy. The demerit point system formalizes all of this: convictions add points to your record, and as a new driver you face suspension at lower totals than fully licensed drivers. The test questions about penalties are describing the system you will personally live under, so learn them as practical knowledge, not trivia.
Several Ontario rules have no Iranian equivalent and must be learned from zero. School buses are the biggest surprise: when a bus stops with its red lights flashing on a road without a median, traffic in both directions must stop and wait, and passing carries enormous fines. Four-way stops, rare in Iran, are everywhere in Ontario suburbs with a strict first-to-stop, first-to-go rule. Right turns on red lights, prohibited in Iran, are legal in Ontario after a complete stop when the way is clear. Each of these generates test questions, and each punishes the driver who answers from habit instead of from study.
Winter deserves serious respect. Snow, black ice, and freezing rain do not exist in most of Iran, yet they dominate Ontario roads for months and appear throughout the G1 exam. Study winter driving as its own subject: following distances on ice, how to handle a skid, why you must clear all snow from your vehicle before driving, and how headlights should be used in falling snow. These are among the easiest marks on the test once learned, and the knowledge behind them keeps you alive through your first Canadian winter.
You do not have to study in isolation. Iranian community organizations in North York and across the GTA run cultural programs and newcomer support where you can meet people who recently passed the G1. Settlement agencies offer free newcomer services, and 211 Ontario connects you to the nearest one by phone or online. Public libraries provide free computers, quiet study space, and English classes where road-sign vocabulary doubles as language practice. When it is time for driving lessons, ask your community for a Farsi-speaking instructor; discussing the why behind each Ontario rule in your own language turns memorization into real understanding. Aim for consistent scores above 90 percent on this practice test — the real exam requires 16 out of 20 in each of its two sections — then book a morning appointment, bring proper identification, and read every question twice. The licence is worth the preparation.
Frequently Asked Questions About the G1 Test in Farsi
Is the real G1 test available in Farsi?
No — Study everything in Farsi here first, then confirm the current language options at your local DriveTest centre when you book — the official test’s available languages can change. This page lets you study in فارسی so you can learn every sign in the language you are most comfortable with.
How many questions are on the Ontario G1 test?
The real test has 40 multiple-choice questions: 20 on road signs and 20 on rules of the road. This practice test has 50 sign questions to give you extra repetition on the signs section.
What score do I need to pass the G1 test?
You need at least 16 out of 20 (80%) in each section. Failing one section means failing the whole test, even if you aced the other half.
What should I bring to the DriveTest centre?
Bring original identification showing your legal name and date of birth, plus your glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. The G1 licence package fee is $159.75, which covers the knowledge test, your first G2 road test, and a five-year licence. (Fees can change — check DriveTest for current amounts.) You must be at least 16 and an Ontario resident.
Can I take the G1 test online?
No. The knowledge test must be taken in person at a DriveTest centre (or the ServiceOntario Bay and College location in downtown Toronto, by appointment). Phones, notes, and study materials are not allowed in the testing room.
What happens if I fail the G1 test?
You can pay the retest fee and try again — a knowledge-test retake currently costs $16 — and if you retake it within a year, you only rewrite the section you didn’t pass. It still pays to practice here until you’re consistently scoring above 80%. (Fees can change, so confirm current amounts at DriveTest when you book.)
