To all the people complaining about not knowing which answers you got right/wrong. There is a something 4 tabs above the comment section. It's labeled "Check your answers". If you click on that, it should give you the results on which ones you got correct or wrong. So yeah... learn to read before you complain...

no mamen. pinches mentirosos.
I believe I answered all correctly....it just takes thinking it through and common sense.
how to apply DMV
Here I am taking the test, but never know what questions I failed. How can I learn?
Why do you not give right or wrong answers after taking test? How is a person to learn, and correct??? You're not helping by not advising.
Your all gay
15. The safest precaution that you can take regarding the use of cellular phones and driving is:
1.Use hands-free devices so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel.
2.Keep your phone within easy reach so you won't need to take your eyes off the road.
3.Pull over to the side of the road to use your cellular phone..... Correct Answer is #1 Use hands-free devices so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel.
It would be helpful to know what question/s we did not answer correctly. This would help us to check our "Driver's Handbook" to correct our mistake/s as well as increase our driver knowledge and skills.
Apparently the corect answer to 11 is look to the sides of your vehicle to see what is coming. I blieve the correct answer isstop look listen and proceed with caution.In question 25 I think the answe should b in a bycycle lane, apparntl thou so ery much. Alfred F Millerye aanser is in an umarked cross walk. Otherwise I found the test to e accurate and covers the subject accurately. Thank
Win 7, neither in Firefox nor IE does the "Check your answers" appear. Maybe better this way as some comments here say that some answers are rated incorrectly in this program anyway
i take the test to day and I make it...awesome..hi everyone keep taking the practise test it help me to pass
WOW! this test helped sooo muchh. i only missed two on here and got 100% on my final written test..WOOT WOO :)
The tests give some opposite answers for same question. Many questions are left out especially regarding any about drunk driving, license classes, driving points, recinding liscenses, etc. I would like a sample test that most resembles the actual test as I remember it.

I am a senior citizen that has not taken the written test in years. I found this test very helpful. I also disagree with the cell phone answer. In the book it says to use a hands free device. Not to pull over. Please correct the answer. Thanks

Pls, give me some more tests. tk u

XD S XSAS ZaAAXDZSD
These are pretty much the exact same questions on the sample tests at dmv.ca.gove, I havent taken the test yet but this is probably similar to the real one, so if your not good at this, your probably not ready for the real test.
Wow....I will explain how to find the answers for the idiots that cant find it.
There is a box on the page that contains the icons Share, Email, Print, Suggest, Dispute, Rating, and the approval Rating from Users. Directly under that box is the words "Check your answers" with a lovely arrow next to it. You can click the arrow or "Check your answers" (convenient, right?). It will then show you the questions, the answers you chose, and the correct answer. It will only show the correct and wrong answer if you got it wrong. If it is uncolored like mine, then congratulations, you got them all right. The ones with green, bold letters is the correct answers. The red, bold letters is the retarded answer you put. Hope this helps.....
damn i think this think help me more then having to read the book to myself hahahah thank to who ever post this :)

Wow. This test was pretty cool. Kind of like The Hard Math Test.

Ridiculous question:The safest precaution that you can take regarding the use of cellular phones and driving is:
1.Use hands-free devices so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel. 2. Keep your phone within easy reach so you won't need to take your eyes off the road. 3.Pull over to the side of the road to use your cellular phone.
The exact same question is on the DMV site but the answer is actually 1 over there. Using hands free devices is still safe, obviously, and nobody would pull over to use their phone because you can't even pull over on highways or freeways except in emergencies anyways! How stupid.
And yes you can check your answers, it's almost right under the "Optional: earn money for making tests"
answer
These questions not helpful IF answers are not explained !!
Please re-vamp this site to make more learner friendly-
stupid question, When you tailgate other drivers (drive close to their rear bumper)
1. You can frustrate the other drivers and make them angry.
2. Your actions cannot result in a traffic citation.
3. You help reduce traffic congestion.
what does this have to do with the traffic laws, the correct answer is #1 although this can result in a traffic citation. you are supposed to answer based on the frustration factor of the driver in front of you. i think this question should not be on the test. this is a test about laws, not the frustration of the driver in front of you on the road. who is to know if the driver will be angry.
I did really bad the first time i took this test. But then i studied other test alot and took this one again and only got 2 wrong. Woo Hoo! im taking my test at the DMV on thurs, i have more confidence now : )

I'd like to know which questions I missed and can't find "Check your answers" as was suggested earlier. Test is no good without knowing the correct answers.
Aloha. I just moved back home to California from Hawaii and was so happy that I answered all the questions correctly. It must have something to do with living in Hawaii and "hanging loose". Happy election day!
