About California Driving Test
California Driving Test is a free practice site for the California DMV written test. No sign-ups, no fees, no catch — just a full 46-question practice exam, six topic quizzes, flashcards, plain-English study guides, and short video lessons, all built to help you pass on the first try.
We started this site on a simple belief: cost should never be the reason someone can’t prepare properly for an important test. Everything here is free, and it will stay that way.
About our practice tests
California’s real written test comes in two sizes: drivers under 18 take 46 questions and need 38 correct, while adults take 36 questions and need 30. Our full practice test uses the complete 46-question format on purpose — it’s the longer, harder version, so whichever test you face on the day, you’ve already practiced something tougher. Our six topic quizzes ask 13 of 15 to pass, a notch above the real bar, for the same reason.
Accuracy & corrections
We check our questions and guides against the official California Driver Handbook and dmv.ca.gov, and we re-check them when the rules change. Even so, with a question bank this size, an unintentional error can slip through. If you spot anything that looks wrong, please tell us on the Contact page — we read everything and fix reported errors fast. And remember: the official handbook and dmv.ca.gov are always the final word.
