Are you struggling to understand driving theory? We’ll help you master this subject so you can become a safe and responsible driver. Traditional learning methods are quickly being replaced by students who prefer a smarter approach to their learning phase. They use practice tests to evaluate their knowledge and learn from their mistakes. We designed our California Driver’s Handbook Practice Test to help you learn driving theory efficiently. It consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official California Driver’s Handbook (California DMV Driver's Handbook 2026: Interactive Manual w/Audio).
A minimum score of 80% is required to pass. However, we recommend ignoring your score during your first few practice sessions. Unlike other practice tests that reveal your score at the end, ours updates in real time. This way, you’ll be immediately notified if you make a mistake. Before you proceed to the next question, you will receive a detailed explanation that helps you understand the reasoning behind the correct answer. Please note this feedback in a notebook or notebook app and revisit the material during future practice sessions.
