CA DMV Exam Simulator for Seniors 2024
- Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and Senior Refresher Test
- Based on official California Driver's manual
- Triple-checked for accuracy
- Updated for December 2024
You’re one of the most experienced drivers on the road. But the rules have changed. Fines. Speed limits. Regulations. Insurance rules. You’ll need to know the ins and outs of all of those for your renewal exam. This Exam Simulator is designed to help you prepare for the official Senior Citizens’ Renewal Exam at California DMV. It’s the closest experience you’ll get to taking the exam. You’ll get a new set of 25 questions every time you restart it. We recommend you take it at least three times, but please feel free to take it as many times as you need to confidently conquer the real test.
To simulate the DMV experience, this Exam Simulator offers no hints, no explanations, and it will shut off if you miss 4 questions (just like the test screens at the DMV).
What to expect from your official exam at the DMV
- You’ll get 25 questions. You’re allowed to make 4 mistakes maximum.
- If you fail the written test, you are required to wait 7 days before attempting it again. Your application fee allows you 3 chances to pass the knowledge test. If you fail 3 times, you’ll have to reapply entirely.
- You will take the test on a touchscreen computer at one of the DMV’s Touchscreen Terminals (TSTs). You’ll select your preferred language, log in using the same thumbprint that you used to begin the driver license process, and begin the multiple choice test. The TST system does not require computer skills and there is no mouse. The “print” size can be enlarged to make the knowledge test easier to read.
- The official exam is available in several languages, large print English, an audio version, or a video version for those who use American Sign Language.
- Every question on the test is taken from the California Driver Handbook. Take your time and read each question carefully. There is only 1 correct answer. The other 2 answers will be either obviously wrong or close to being correct; however, not the most accurate.

At Driving-Tests.org, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your DMV exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Manuals:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each state's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each state DMV's website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the DMV manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the DMV publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your DMV exam.
