California permit test? We got you.

The DMV doesn’t publish a fixed count. Its pages say the test is multiple choice, written from the California Driver Handbook, and that you need 80% to pass. Other sites often quote 46 questions for applicants under 18, so the app’s practice final uses 46 with a pass line of 38, and you can change it.

Three times before you must reapply. If you are under 18, you wait seven days after a failed knowledge test, not counting the day you failed.

At least 15½. Under 18, you also complete driver education and a parent or guardian signs your application, and you can’t use the permit until you start behind-the-wheel training with an instructor who validates it. At 17½ you can get the permit without the driver education certificates, but you can’t take the drive test until 18.

The DMV lists $46 for an original Class C license application, the application you start with for a permit. The application and fee stay valid for 12 months after you apply.

At 16 or older, after holding the permit for at least six months, with driver education and driver training done and at least 50 hours of supervised practice, 10 of them at night, with a California-licensed driver 25 or older.

For the first 12 months of a provisional license: no driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., and no passengers under 20 unless a parent, guardian or California-licensed driver 25 or older rides along. The DMV lists exceptions, each needing a signed note.
