Imagine driving through the heavy traffic of cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco. It might seem overwhelming at first, but it’s the perfect place to build focus and learn how to stay calm under pressure. Driving is a lifelong skill that can only be improved with behind-the-wheel practice, but you must master its theory first. Study the official California driver’s manual (California DMV Driver's Handbook 2026: Interactive Manual w/Audio). When you’re ready, give our California DMV permit practice tests a try.
In California, all aspiring drivers must pass a written knowledge test consisting of 46 multiple-choice questions based on the driver’s manual. The DMV charges a $37 fee for three attempts at the written knowledge test and skills test. Our practice tests are designed to closely reflect the content and format of the official written knowledge exam so you’ll know what to expect at the DMV office. Each practice test is current for January 2026 to reflect the latest updates brought by state law or DMV rules.

Our AI coach makes it easier for you to navigate our practice tests. Available during your training sessions, the automated assistant can provide hints, real-life examples, and further explanations of the question at hand. Unlike other practice tests that only reveal your performance at the end, ours updates your score in real time. Immediate feedback is provided for every question as soon as you select an answer. Identify your mistakes as soon as they occur and learn the correct answer before proceeding to the next question. Review the official California driver’s manual, carefully read each question, and understand why the correct answer is right.
The learning phase has no speed limit, but slow and steady progress is always preferred over highly intensive study methods that can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Since we have omitted any timer from our practice tests, you can approach each question without feeling pressured to rush through them. Take as long as you need to master driving theory and become a safe and responsible driver. With every question, you gain the knowledge necessary to navigate California’s roads and confidently handle challenges along the way.
