About this app

Pass your California DMV written test with confidence. DMV Test Prep turns the driver handbook into short, exam-style practice tests — clear questions, real road signs, and instant explanations that teach the rule, not just the answer.

In California, the written knowledge test comes first — you pass it before you ever take the behind-the-wheel driving test. DMV Test Prep gets you through that first gate.

WHY IT WORKS
• 500 practice questions written from the official California Driver's Handbook and the federal road-sign standards (MUTCD)
• Every answer comes with a short, plain-words explanation
• Your mistakes are collected automatically into a Review deck so you can re-practice exactly what you miss
• Topic-level progress shows where you stand against the 80% pass line

STUDY YOUR WAY
• Quick 20-question practice runs — about 6 minutes each
• Set of the Day — a fresh curated set every day to keep your streak alive
• Today's tricky one — a daily trap question that catches most learners
• Timed tests with adjustable pace, from relaxed to exam-speed
• Marathon — answer as many as you can in 5 minutes
• Weak-spots sets built from your own results

TRACK YOUR ROAD TO THE TEST
• Set your test date and watch the countdown with a week-by-week practice map
• Streaks, accuracy, and readiness stats that update with every answer
• Separate progress for California and the all-states General mode

WORKS EVERYWHERE
• 100% offline — every question and road sign ships inside the app
• Free to use, no ads
• Optional sign-in (Google or Apple) backs up your progress across devices

Whether you are a first-time driver getting a learner's permit, a drivers ed student, transferring an out-of-state driver's license, or just brushing up on the rules of the road, DMV Test Prep gives you focused practice for the California DMV knowledge test — plus a General mode with the road rules that apply in every US state. Every DMV practice test here mirrors the format of the real permit test: multiple choice, road rules, and road signs.
