Aurora is a town in York Region, located between Newmarket and Richmond Hill along the Yonge Street corridor. Aurora drivers typically use the DriveTest centre in nearby Newmarket.

G1 Knowledge Test in Aurora — What to Expect
The G1 practice test Aurora drivers need to prepare for is a 40-question multiple-choice exam. It covers two sections:
20 Road Sign Questions
Regulatory signs, warning signs, information signs, and construction zone signs. You need 16/20 (80%) to pass this section.
20 Rules of the Road Questions
Speed limits, right-of-way, school bus laws, alcohol/drug rules, and safe driving practices. You need 16/20 (80%) to pass this section.
Important: You must pass both sections independently. Passing one section but failing the other means you fail the entire test and must rebook after 10 days.
