DMVWise is a free California permit practice test in English and Spanish. We built it for teens getting their first permit, the parents helping them, and adults who are new to driving in California.
What you’ll find here
- A free practice test. Ten questions at a time, with a plain-language explanation after every answer. No sign-up.
- 300+ practice questions across every part of the California Driver’s Handbook: signs and signals, right-of-way, speed and parking, sharing the road, and licensing, DUI and insurance rules.
- Every question in English and Spanish. Switch languages on any question with one tap.
- A Resource Center with free guides on getting your permit, provisional license rules, road signs, the behind-the-wheel test and more.
- A full version for $9.99, one time. It unlocks every question, practice by topic, a full-length practice exam and a review of the questions you missed. No subscription.
How we write and check our questions
Every question is written from the current California Driver’s Handbook published by the DMV. After a question is written, it’s checked a second time against the handbook by a separate reviewer: the answer, the numbers, the wording of the wrong choices and the Spanish translation. Questions that can’t be confirmed in the handbook are removed.
Our questions are practice questions, not the DMV’s own test questions. The DMV doesn’t publish its test questions, and anyone who claims to have them is guessing. What we can promise is that every answer matches what the official handbook says.
We’re not the DMV
DMVWise is an independent study tool. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the California Department of Motor Vehicles or any government agency. To apply for a permit, book a test or check official rules, go to dmv.ca.gov.
