California DMV Written Test Overview

The CA DMV written practice test you're about to take includes multiple choice questions on traffic laws, speed, parking, use of cell phones, safety, emergency vehicles, road signs and traffic signals. Reviewing the California driver's manual isn't enough to ensure that you'll score at the 84 percent level required in order to obtain your drivers license. With this online DMV practice test, you can prepare yourself for the subject matter and variety of questions. Each of the questions is multiple choice just like the California DMV's written test. You'll have to choose the one correct answer from the four possible choices. Questions include topics related to operating the vehicle, the flow of traffic, parking, safety around pedestrians, motorcycles and emergency vehicles and the meaning of different traffic signals and road signs. The questions are similar to what you can expect to see when you take the actual CA DMV written test.

Each of the DMV practice test options include 25 questions. The questions are randomized so you can take the CA DMV practice test as many times as you need to. If you're not sure about the correct answer to a question, you can make an educated guess. If your answer is incorrect, you'll be presented with a paragraph of text that includes the correct answer as well as a reference to the driver's manual so you can get more information if you need it.
