Driver license written test appointment

It is important to read the California Driver Handbook before taking a written test. If you need to go to a field office to take a written test, please follow the suggestions below to help you successfully pass the first time you take the test.

Review the California Driver Handbook and take the sample tests.
The written tests are based on general rules of the road and safe driving skills. DMV's written test may contain driving situations that you have never encountered in your own day-to-day driving.

Try to remain calm and relaxed.

The renewal written test has only 18 questions. Take your time and read each question carefully. Please do not read anything extra into the question. There is only one correct answer.

The test is available in English and many other languages. If you take the written test in a foreign language, you must also take a traffic signs test.

The English language written test is available in large print. There is also an audio version and a video version (American Sign Language).
