What's a driving test?

A driving test (also known as a driving exam, or a driver's test) is a procedure designed to evaluate a person's ability to operate a mot or vehicle such as a passenger car, motorcycle, or commercial vehicle. In the United States, passing a driving test is usually one of the requirements for obtaining a driver license. The administration of driving tests and the issuance of driver licenses are typically the responsibility of the state government's DMV. The driving test usually consists of two parts: a written knowledge test ("DMV written test") with multiple choice questions to evaluate a person's knowledge of driving-related rules and laws, and a practical behind-the-wheel test (sometimes called a road test or skill test) to assess the person's ability to drive safely. The written test covers the information found in the official Driver License Manual, including road rules, traffic laws and signs, fines, limits, and safe driving practices.

What to practice for the driving test?

Know your car

The car you're using for your test should be familiar to you, and not one that you're sitting in for the first time. You'll want to know where the controls are for everything from the lights to the windshield wipers, so you aren't frantically searching if it starts raining. The way each car's brake and gas pedals react can be different, so knowing how sensitive these are can help you avoid braking or accelerating too aggressively or too slowly.

Get plenty of practice

Like anything else, learning how to be a good driver takes lots of time behind the wheel practicing. There are things you'll learn while driving that you just can't get from reading, so it's important to log plenty of time at the wheel.

Prepare and adapt to anything

Whether it's weather conditions, an ambulance coming down the road or any other situation that could happen, you should be mentally prepared to adapt and adjust accordingly. The only true way to do this is get in those hours of practice driving, and trying to do so in a variety of weather conditions. Only getting out to drive on beautiful, sunny days will only work against you if your test lands on a rainy, overcast day.

Pay attention to driving

It sounds obvious enough, but it's easy to get distracted by what the evaluator is doing. Trying to sneak a peek at what they're writing down or their facial expressions is not a good idea, if you're hoping to walk out of there a licensed driver. Paying attention to the road, and what's happening around you is the best way to ensure that whatever the examiner is writing down is positive - and you can read all of that once your test is over anyway. Leave everything else at the door, and give your full attention to the task at hand. Whether it's schoolwork or other things happening in your life, it needs to be temporarily put to the back of your mind.

Safe driving tips

Drive the speed limit and maintain a constant speed.

Obey all road signs that you see.

Steer smoothly. Hold onto the steering wheel with both hands at all times.

Follow at a safe distance - use the 3 second rule.

Don't stop too closely to the vehicle in front of you when you need to come to a stop. As a general rule, you should be able to see the tires of the car in front of you.

Do not cross solid lines as this will result in an instant and automatic fail.

Always look over your shoulder before changing lanes and be sure to use your blinker.

Only change lanes when you are absolutely certain that it is safe. If your test administrator asks you to change lanes, make sure that it is safe first.

Watch for school buses. If the bus is pulled over to the side of the road and their lights are flashing, do not pass.

Use your turn signals. It helps let other drivers know what you are planning on doing. Make sure that you turn your turn signal on plenty of time before you are actually going to turn

46 questions

38 correct answers to pass

83% passing score

15 ½ Minimum age to apply

This California DMV practice test has just been updated for November 2023. It covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the 2023 official CA Driver Handbook. Prepare for the DMV driving permit test and driver's license exam using real questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV test. Each practice test question has a hint and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written portion of the official DMV test will also cover information from the Driver Handbook and ask questions regarding rules of the road, traffic signs, and driving laws. You must answer 38 out of 46 questions correctly (or 30 out of 36 if you are over 18) to achieve the required 83% passing score. Use this DMV practice test as a helpful study aid toward getting your CA instruction permit or driver's license. The DMV exam is offered in multiple languages, but to guarantee you have enough time to complete it, you may not start the test after 4:30 pm. The state has strict requirements for issuing instruction permits for minors; they can be found in the California driver handbook. The use of any testing aid during the test will mean an automatic failure of the test, and the DMV may take additional sanctioning actions against your driving privilege, so please do not cheat.

California Driver's Handbook

Move through the handbook using the Table of Contents or the Next/Previous buttons

Secretary's Message

Whether traveling by car, transit, bike, scooter, skateboard or on foot, we all want to reach our destination safely. Tragically, many Californians do not.

Since 2010, more than 30,000 people have been killed and another 100,000 people seriously injured on California roads. This deadly trend is getting worse, especially for people walking or biking. We've seen a nearly 50 percent rise in annual deaths and serious injuries for pedestrians and greater than 60 percent increase in bicyclists killed per year since 2010.

Unlike those of us traveling in vehicles with seat belts, airbags and other safety features, people outside of vehicles don't have the same level of protection and are more vulnerable every time they are on the road. Their safety must always be top of mind when we're driving.

California is doing everything possible to implement comprehensive traffic safety measures to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on our roadways. It includes strategies to reduce our dependence on driving, to the way we design roads and intersections, to expanding safe walking and biking options.

But we need your help. Without all of us practicing safe driving habits, these avoidable tragedies will continue to occur. Please make sure to buckle up, follow all traffic laws, pay extra attention to pedestrians and bicyclists, and do not drive if you're distracted or impaired.

I hope the information in this California Driver's Handbook can help everyone on the road - drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians - reach their destination safely. Because it's about more than just learning the rules of the roads. It could be a matter of life and death.

Wishing you safe journeys,

Sincerely,

Toks Omishakin
Secretary
California State Transportation Agency

Need a REAL ID driver's license or ID card? Here's how!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Skip to content

The first milestone on the road to getting your California driver's license (DL) is to obtain your provisional instruction permit, sometimes called a "learner's permit." This is for people who are learning to drive and working on the requirements to get a DL.

info-icon
Notification icon

Help improve the way California drivers get a license. Download the new mobile DMV TestBuddy App!

Can I apply for my REAL ID driver's license?
Yes! If applying for a REAL ID DL, two residency documents are required.
If you are 15 ½ - 17 ½ years old, you will need to provide proof that you completed driver education (certificate of completion of driver education) or are enrolled and participating in an approved integrated driver education/driver training (DE/DT) program (certificate of enrollment in an integrated [classroom] driver education and driver training program).
Can I take my knowledge test online before visiting a DMV office?
DMV offers an online knowledge test. This test is offered in 35 languages and is available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The test needs a webcam and cannot be done on a smartphone or tablet. You will verify your identity before starting and will be monitored during the test.

If eligible, you can choose this option after filling out your driver's license application. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian will need to give permission before you can take the test.

The test can be attempted online twice. If you fail both attempts, you will need to go to a DMV office to take the test a third time.
What is Financial Responsibility (Insurance)?
Proof of financial responsibility must be always carried in the vehicle. Most Californians maintain financial responsibility through insurance companies, which provide the policy holder with an identification card to be used as proof of coverage. The card must state the insurance company's name and address, the period of coverage, and policy number.

Financial responsibility in California requires that drivers and vehicle owners carry the following minimum dollar limits:

$15,000 for injury or death of 1 person per accident.

$30,000 for injury or death of 2 or more persons per accident.

$5,000 for any property damage per accident.

When parents or guardians sign for a minor to get a DL, they are stating that they will accept financial responsibility for that minor.
I'm almost 18. Do I need to take driver education/driver training (DE/DT) in order to get my instruction permit?
If you are over 17 ½ but under 18 years of age, you may get your instruction permit without the DE/DT certificates. However, you will not be able to take the driving test until you are 18 years of age.

What do I do if I completed my DE/DT in another state? ( Applies to applicants under 18 years of age)

If your DE/DT were completed in a state other than California, DMV will accept a letter from your out-of-state secondary school on the school's official stationery. The letter must be signed by a school official stating that the completed courses you have taken are equivalent to a California secondary school course as described in Section 10020 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations and on form " To Secondary Schools Other Than California Schools" (DL 33). Obtain a DL 33 form from your local DMV office or by calling DMV at 1-800-777-0133. Send the DL 33 form to your out-of-state school for completion. An out-of-state driving instruction permit is not acceptable proof of DE/DT.
What if my provisional instruction permit expires before I take the driving test?
The California Driver's License or ID Card Application and fee is valid for 12 months after you apply. If your application expires before you have held your provisional instruction permit for the required six months to take your driving test, you'll need to reapply at a DMV office. You will get cumulative credit for the time you held your instruction permit that counts towards your six-month requirement. Make sure to bring both your expired and valid provisional instruction permits when you take your driving test to show proof of credit.
When is the knowledge test available?
Knowledge tests (online and in-office) can be completed during DMV business hours. Online testing must be started before 4:00 p.m. and testing in-office before 4:30 p.m. Study the handbook and make use of the practice tests - we want you to pass!
If I have a valid driver's license from another country, do I need an accompanying driver to and from the drive test?
No.

Need something else?

The online drivers ed course can be accessed at anytime and can be taken at your own pace. California law as set by Sacramento requires you to study for at least 30 hours and our course is timed, but there is no maximum time limit to complete the course. The online California DMV practice tests, quizzes and final can be taken as many times as necessary in order to complete the course.

The course is divided into 11 units, with a quiz at the end of each one. You will need to answer 70% of the questions correctly on each quiz in order to move on to the next unit.

Once you have completed the units and the time requirement, there is a 30 question final exam, also requiring a score of at least 70% to pass. The quizzes and final exam can be taken as many times as necessary in order to pass the online DMV course.

Once you have passed the final test an official DMV Certificate of Completion will be mailed to the address you provide at registration that complies with California DMV requirements for drivers education or online traffic school.

We have students from around the state: Los Angeles to San Francisco, Bakersfield to Chico, Santa Monica to Oakland and everywhere in between.
