About this app

Permit Ready helps adults prepare for the California driver's license knowledge test, the DMV written test for a Class C license, also called the permit test. Every question is shown in English with a translation underneath in Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese or Filipino (Tagalog), so you learn each rule together with the English words used on road signs and in the test.

What you get
• 450 practice questions written for this app, each with a plain explanation and the California Vehicle Code section or handbook topic it is based on
• 60 road signs from the federal MUTCD drawings: you write what a sign means, and the app checks
• Mock exams under the adult test rules: 36 questions, 30 correct to pass
• Spaced review that brings back the questions you are about to forget
• Your mistake patterns: the rule you keep applying wrong, not only a score
• A readiness estimate that updates after each study session
• Listening mode: questions, options and explanations read aloud with your phone's own voices
• A 10-question check that shows where you stand before you start

Who it is for
Adults in California getting a first driver's license, especially if English is not their first language. Filipino speakers can use it as a DMV reviewer with Tagalog underneath.

How it works

Sources
The questions are original. Their facts come from these public sources:
• California Driver's Handbook, California DMV: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/
• Knowledge test and permit rules, California DMV: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/instruction-permits/
• California Vehicle Code, California Legislature: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codesTOCSelected.xhtml?tocCode=VEH
• Road sign designs, Federal Highway Administration (MUTCD): https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/
The exam figures were checked against the DMV's own publications. Rules change, so confirm details in the official handbook before your test.
