California DMV practice tests

$46 for an original or renewal Class C, $37 to replace a lost card, and $9 for a behind-the-wheel retest.

15½ with a driver education certificate and a parent's signature; 18 with neither.

The DMV publishes an 80% standard, not a count. The long-published adult Class C figure is 36 questions with 30 correct to pass; the under-18 version is usually given as 46.

Six, on the commonly published 36-question adult Class C test — 30 correct answers are needed. The DMV itself publishes only the 80% standard.

The DMV publishes no time limit, but a test cannot be started at an office after 4:30 p.m.

No. Original applicants test at a DMV office; only eligible Class C renewals may substitute the online eLearning course.

Start the DL/ID application in a MyDMV account, upload your documents, then book the office visit it offers, or call 1-800-777-0133.

Yes: 20/40 with both eyes together, and 20/40 in one eye with at least 20/70 in the other, with or without lenses.

Three attempts are covered by your application fee; after a third failure you must reapply. Minors wait seven days between attempts.

More than 40. The handbook is published in eight, and renewal eLearning runs in English, Spanish and Traditional Chinese.

Renewals, replacement licenses and driver records — do those online, at a kiosk or by mail. Drive tests are the opposite: never given without an appointment.

Up to one year from the application date, and a minor must hold it at least six months before the drive test.
