Facing a California DMV written test causes dread for young and old. Whether you face the test as a new driver, after a move from another state or while renewing your license, the test can intimidate. However, with a little time investment, you can quickly get on the road.
Preparing for the California DMV Written Test
Luckily, practice California DMV written tests exist in multiple locations online. Reviewing the California Driver’s Handbook and allowing time for several of the online exams helps tremendously. While online versions of the tests may not relate question-by-question to your real test, it will be a combination of these questions. Correct and review any questions you miss and review associated topics.
Making an appointment for the day of your test can save you long waits. You can schedule your appointment time online and move quickly to the testing area once you arrive. At the DMV, you may request to take the exam in the language of your preference. This often eliminates errors due to slight wording inconsistencies. Once you begin your test, take your time. Read questions carefully. Remember, sample tests may differ slightly. Don’t assume your real test holds identical questions and answers, even on the same subjects. Also, note that only one correct answer exists for each question. Don’t read too much into a question by considering answers other than your initial response.
If you fail to do as well as you expected on the exam, don’t despair. You may take the exam a total of three times before the state requires you to resubmit your application and pay an additional fee.
The California DMV written test may seem overwhelming, or in the very least, a hassle. However, with a little dedicated study, that exam can soon only exist in your rear-view mirror. All of us here at A1 Performance wish you all the luck!
